Enterprise information: generally Ethernet/ TCP/IP Control bus: Ethernet/TCP/IP is now the standard. The I/A Series incorporated the first Ethernet control bus (Nodebus – Redundant). Redundant fieldbus to remote I/O. Instrument bus: Intelligent field device integration (for example, HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, Profibus, FoxCom). Invensys/Foxboro introduced the first all-digital intelligent instrument bus. HART FOUNDATION fieldbusProfibus FoxCom
