ISA100.11a is a wireless networking protocol developed by the International Society of Automation (ISA) for the purpose of Industrial Automation and Process Control. The flexibility of wireless solutions enables less investment in infrastructure, while enabling greater process insights wirelessly into plant operations, where measurements may have previously been difficult or uneconomical to implement.
The ISA100.11a robust security mechanism provides continuously ensured safety in various system operations. The combination of an ISA100.11a wireless solution and wired solution advances the Field Digital evolution within Yokogawa's "VigilantPlant" ideal plant concept.
