Lonmark, Echelon And CEN To Develop New Control Networking Standard For the Industrial IoT
SANTA CLARA, CA — LonMark International, Echelon Corporation, the European Committee for Standardization Technical Committee TC-247 and LonMark Germany plan to develop a new control-networking standard for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
This new LonTalk/IP standard adds native IP addressing to the international standard ISO/IEC 14908-1 Control Networking Protocol and is a crucial element of control networking platforms that require connectivity to larger, enterprise networks and the Internet. The new standard will enable control networking applications to leverage standard IP infrastructure, IP network administration tools, and IP diagnostic tools.
