2 ISA Standards ISA, Research Triangle Park, NC: Accredited by the American National Standards Institute Standards for Industrial Automation: –Application across the manufacturing and processing industries –Design, development, production, and application of devices and systems that sense, measure, and control manufacturing operations and industrial processes

3 ISA Standards – Key Areas Involving Sensors Industrial ambient air measurement instrumentation to protect worker health and safety Electrical equipment for hazardous locations Composition analyzers Wireless systems for automation Electronic device description language

4 ISA Standards – Industrial Air Measurement to Protect Workers ANSI/ISA-92 Series of Standards: Performance Requirements for Toxic Gas Detection Instruments. ISA-RP92 Series of Recommended Practices: Installation, Operation, and Maintenance of Toxic Gas- Detection Instruments. –Hydrogen Sulfide –Carbon Monoxide –Ammonia –Chlorine –Oxygen-Deficient / Oxygen-Enriched Atmospheres

5 ISA Standards – Electrical Equipment for Hazardous (Classified) Locations ANSI/ISA-12 Series of Standards and ISA-12 Series of Recommended Practices and Technical Reports: –Combustible Gases and Vapors –Hazardous (Classified) Dust Locations –Use of Portable Electronic Devices in Classified Locations –Intrinsic Safety –Enclosures Input to the US National Electrical Code US Technical Advisory Groups to TC31, Equipment for Explosive Atmospheres, and subcommittees, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

6 ISA Standards – Composition Analyzers ISA-SP76 Committee: –Developing standards on devices and equipment for analyzing composition and characteristics of materials for industrial monitoring. –Working with New Sampling/Sensor Initiative (NeSSI) to develop modular and miniaturized process analyzer sample system components. –Key in NeSSI: ANSI/ISA (2002), Modular Component Interfaces for Surface-Mount Fluid Distribution Components – Elastomeric Seals. Secretariat and US Technical Advisory Group to IEC SC65B, Devices and Process Analysis.

7 ISA-SP100 – Wireless Systems for Automation Define procedures for implementing reliable, secure, multi-functional wireless systems in the industrial automation and control environment. Focus is on the field level, including: –Applications of sensors used for monitoring, control, alarm, and shutdown of industrial processes. –Equipment health monitoring. –Mobile workers with hand-held devices. Working closely with ISA-SP99, Security for Industrial Automation and Control Systems.

8 ISA-SP104 – Electronic Device Description Language / EDDL US adoption of the generic device description language specified by IEC for device integration (SC65D). Operating system-independent language for declaring device parameters and their dependencies, device functions, graphical representations, and interactions with control devices. Applications include generic digital and analog I/O modules, HMIs, sensors, valves, closed-loop controllers, PLCs.
