“WorldFIP welcomes the IEC Committee of Action’s unblocking of the situation on the proposed fieldbus data link layer,” says John Beeston, WorldFIP’s international communications director. “WorldFIP has always strongly supported actions leading toward a single IEC standard. We will offer a smooth migration path to the IEC link layer standard as it becomes formalized, just as we did for the IEC physical layer, which has been available from WorldFIP since 1994. It will be easy for WorldFIP to migrate to the IEC standard because we already have all the functionality needed, including support for cyclic, event and message traffic on the same bus. “
