Abstract
The Standards Group of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) has been active in standards for industrial electronics in recent years, focusing on sensors and sensors networks, real-time industrial communications and industrial agents in the automation fields. It has also participated and collaborated with other IEEE societies such as the Instrumentation and Measurement Society (IMS) in the IEEE 1451 sensor networks standards family, and with government entities such as the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This paper gives a brief synopsis of IES standards activities and the trends it sees in industrial electronics standardization in the coming emerging technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT)/Industrial IoT (IIoT), 5G communications, industrial wireless and possibly transportation electrification. All these technologies are expected to be disruptive to the industry in the coming years and standards must be generated to be effective and beneficial to industry and society. The IES Standards Group anticipates more contributions to the IEEE 1451 standards family, industrial agents, industrial wireless applications with NIST, and possibly with standards activities within Industry 4.0 in the coming years.
Highlights
The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) has been active in industrial standards activities in recent years, and the trends of emerging technologies leads to the need of more standardized activities to benefit industry and society
Their performance indicators can be found in International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61784-2 (Industrial communication networks – Profiles – Part 2: Additional fieldbus profiles for real-time networks based on International Organization of Standardization (ISO)/IEC 8802-3)
A prominent opportunity arises concerning the establishment of standards for interfacing industrial agents with physical hardware devices, which is being addressed by the IEEE P2660.1 working group that is developing recommended practices for integrating software agents with low level automation functions, simplifying the interoperability in CyberPhysical Systems (CPS) systems
Summary
The IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) has been active in industrial standards activities in recent years, and the trends of emerging technologies leads to the need of more standardized activities to benefit industry and society. The last two sections conclude with the present activities undertaken by the IES Standards Group and suggested future standardization directions This will cover IES Fields of Interest (FoI) and potential opportunities for standards activities in industrial electronics. The International Organization of Standardization (ISO) is a global network of world’s leading standardization bodies (with members from 163 countries) developing international standards. Lite orbits, develop technical standards ensuring networks and technologies seamlessly interconnect, and strive to improve ICT access to underserved communities worldwide. Lite orbits, develop technical standards ensuring networks and technologies seamlessly interconnect, and strive to improve ICT access to underserved communities worldwide4 These three global standards organizations (IEC, ISO, ITU), when appropriate, cooperate with each other ensuring standards fit together seamlessly and complement each other. ANSI is the official U.S representative to the ISO and IEC international standards bodies
