Estimated reading time: 1 minute

The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute has announced the release of the brand new ISA100 Wireless Rapid Development Kit (RDK). The ISA100 Wireless RDK includes everything needed to develop ISA100 Wireless certified field instruments with minimal development effort. It is a comprehensive, user-friendly, end-to-end development platform that includes pre-configured and fully integrated hardware, firmware and software components. It also includes training materials and step-by-step instructions to develop an ISA100 Wireless connected field instrument.

The ISA100 Wireless industrial IoT standard (ISA100.11a and IEC 62734) meets the rigorous requirements for field instruments and infrastructure devices engaged in automation, including monitoring, safety, and control.

The ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute will host a special webinar introducing this exciting new product on December 11, 2019 at 11 AM Eastern Time. 

The ISA100 Wireless RDK includes the following hardware and software components:  

• SPiN development board (2)
• WISA X-Mikrobus boards (2)
• Application processor Arduino/Freedom board (2)
• NIO200IAG All-in-One Gateway
• Centero Engineering application
• Documentation and Training Package

“ISA100 Wireless is a robust wireless standard that meets high-reliability requirements of process automation. The RDK lowers the barriers for new product suppliers by significantly reducing the time, cost and, effort to develop ISA100 Wireless products,” said Andre Ristaino, Managing Director, ISA100 Wireless Compliance Institute. “The superior capabilities of ISA100 Wireless create applicability to adjacent industry sectors and provides a path for low-cost IOT devices, sometimes called lick and stick sensors.”
