本ISA标准旨在为非关键监控、警报、监控、开环控制和闭环控制应用提供可靠、安全的无线操作。它定义了协议套件、系统管理、网关和安全规范，用于低数据速率无线连接，以及支持非常有限功耗要求的固定、便携式和移动设备。应用程序的重点是解决监控和过程控制等应用程序的性能需求，在这些应用程序中，可以容忍大约100毫秒的延迟，并提供缩短延迟的可选行为。为了满足工业无线用户和运营商的需求，本标准提供了在恶劣工业环境和传统非ISA100兼容无线系统中存在干扰时的鲁棒性。如第4条所述，本标准解决了与工业工作区中预期的其他无线设备共存的问题，例如手机和基于IEEE 802的设备。 11x、IEEE 802.15x、IEEE 802.16x和其他相关标准。此外，本标准允许ISA100设备的互操作性，如第5条所述。本标准未定义或规定电厂基础设施或其安全或性能特征。然而，最终用户必须确保工厂基础设施的安全。

This ISA standard is intended to provide reliable and secure wireless operation for non-critical monitoring, alerting, supervisory control, open loop control, and closed loop control applications. It defines the protocol suite, system management, gateway, and security specifications for low-data-rate wireless connectivity with fixed, portable, and moving devices supporting very limited power consumption requirements. The application focus is to address the performance needs of applications such as monitoring and process control where latencies on the order of 100 ms can be tolerated, with optional behavior for shorter latency.To meet the needs of industrial wireless users and operators, this standard provides robustness in the presence of interference found in harsh industrial environments and with legacy non-ISA100 compliant wireless systems. As described in Clause 4, this standard addresses coexistence with other wireless devices anticipated in the industrial workspace, such as cell phones and devices based on IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.15x, IEEE 802.16x, and other relevant standards. Furthermore, this standard allows for interoperability of ISA100 devices, as described in Clause 5.This standard does not define or specify plant infrastructure or its security or performance characteristics. However, it is important that the security of the plant infrastructure be assured by the end user.
