    9. Fieldbus-enabling a field device

    10. Three steps to fieldbus/device integration

    11. Results: It takes at least 3 months It is costly ($100-300K) Device manufacturer must evaluate ROI May decide not to participate in market May hold off until technology progresses

    14. Fast integration of existing sensor/actuators

    15. Results since introduction: Just completing our fourth US implementation. Prototype sensors implemented in as few as two weeks. Cost of integration has been cut to one-fourth of previous costs. Device manufacturer can participate in fieldbus market with much less risk.

    16. Unique requirements for NeSSI adoption: Sensors/actuators are inexpensive Cost of implementing fieldbus technology is high relative to cost of actuators Sensor/actuator manufacturers are still unsure of ROI Size of hardware is still too large.

    17. Some possibilities: Reduce footprint of hardware interface New, smaller fieldbus ASICs Re-tool board to ¼ its size Cost of components is driven by volume Present low volume solution: $450 per board, $30K development/integration service including certification Future scenario: $80-100K to re-tool board, price per board totally dependant on volume.

    18. Summary
