February 6, 2019 – FieldComm Group has announced the endorsement of its process automation device information model specification (PA-DIM), based on NAMUR requirements, by the OPC Foundation (OPCF), and PROFIBUS&PROFINET International (PI). This announcement serves as validation of FieldComm Group’s position at the center of process automation standards development and product conformance testing. Announced at the 2018 ARC Forum, FieldComm Group and the OPC Foundation presented their joint vision for creating a protocol independent, process automation device information model (PA-DIM) specification to implement the requirements of the NAMUR Open Architecture (NOA). PROFIBUS&PROFINET International is now participating in this vision.
Standards development working groups are actively engaged in finalizing specifications for the first release of PA-DIM during the first half of 2019.
