3. PROLIST April 11, 2005 Slide 3 Can we still afford the costs of this expenditure? Questions to the equipment users: Do you still type in your inquiry data for process control equipment into your purchasing system by hand? Do you still send your inquiry to your suppliers by fax? Do you still enter the equipment data from the manufacturer’s catalog into your CAE system laboriously by hand? Questions to the equipment manufacturers: Do you still receive inquiries by paper (letter or fax) from each customer and in a different form? Do you still have to enter the inquiry data into your systems manually for offer generation? Do you still send your offers away by fax or letter?

7. PROLIST April 11, 2005 Slide 7 NE 100 The NAMUR Recommendation NE 100 Version 1.0 (2003) contained 41 device specifications for –measuring instruments: pressure, flow, level and temperature. Version 2.0 (2004/2005) contains 62 device specifications for –measuring instruments (50): pressure, flow, level, temperature and density, –electrical motors (2) and –actuators (10). The lists of characteristics of NE 100 conform to the relevant standards for characteristics (properties) and lists of characteristics (classes): IEC 61360 and ISO 13584.

9. PROLIST April 11, 2005 Slide 9 PROLIST database The results of the activities for the NE 100, i.e. the device specifications, are entered into a database. This database was created and is financed as well as maintained by the Project Group “Lists of Characteristics” (PROLIST). The device specifications (specification forms) of the NE 100 beginning with Version 2.0 can be seen in and downloaded from the PROLIST database (without IDs and definitions). The unrestricted access to the PROLIST database have only the paying members of PROLIST.

10. PROLIST April 11, 2005 Slide 10 Standardization of the Device Specifications The created lists of characteristics are include in NE 100 (in German and in English). NE 100 IEC 6xxxx The lists of characteristics of NE 100 conform to the relevant standards for characteristics and lists of characteristics: IEC 61360 and ISO 13584. The contents of NE 100 will be channeled into the international standardization process.
