1. SAM - A Sensor and Applet Manager Pittcon2002 Workgroup3

2. SAM Does 5 Jobs! Gateway to an Ethernet LAN - OPC Host to a Transducer Bus e.g. CANbus PC or PDA Field Interface - Graphical - Wireless - e.g. Bluetooth™, 802.11 Software Applets for Sample System Repetitive Tasks (Industry Common) “Open” Development Space for Manufacturer Custom Software

3. Embedded or Standalone SAM Ethernet LAN Analyzer or PC Controller V T P A CANbus

4. Simple Applets for SAM Some Examples of Applets –System health verification (P, T, F, etc.) –Zero and span validation –DCS interface “traffic light” System Bad System on Process or System in Validation Failure Eminent –Stream-Switching

5. Q1. Who Should Manage the Applets? Foundation like organization? Applet creator? Analyzer Vendors?

6. Q2. SAM Concept Would you agree that SAM would be useful device for interfacing and interacting with both the Sensor bus and the larger world of the Ethernet –What do you (or don’t you) like….? –What would you like improved or added?
