|
The following are a number of Key Enterprise Integration Standards. This list
is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather to describe some of the more important
standards, and to direct the reader to additional information on each. The Standards
are presented alphabetically, according to the Standards body responsible for
writing and maintaining these standards.
For more a more detaild list of Enterprise Integration standard see The Engineering
Work Book, which lists several thousand Enterprise Integration standards
from the USA and abroad. In keeping with the PERA structure, the Engneering
Work Book Standards are organized according to the Discipline (Role) responsible
for implementing that standard. For Enterprise Integration, the main Discipline
Groups (Roles) are: 770-Control Systems, 780-Industrial Computing (including
MES), and 790-Industrial Telecom.

TIA / EIA Telecommunications Industry Association / Electronic Industries
Association
- The TIA/EIA 568
TIA/EIA 568 Commercial Building Telecommunication standard was jointly developed
by TIA and EIA.
- The ISO/IEC-11801
Generic Customer Premises Cabling standard is an international cabling standard,
based on the ANSI/TIA/EIA-568, that may be used for industrial control systems
and premises cabling.
- The TIA/EIA 568
TIA/EIA 568 structured cabling standards define how to design, build, and
manage a Structured Cabling System (SCS). An SCS has specific performance
characteristics at each hierarchical level. For example, a workgroup LAN haslower-performance
requirements than the building backbone network, which may in turn connect
to a high speed single or multimode fiber-optic network.
- Category 5 TIA/EIA 568A and 568B Configuration
is not an enterprise integration standard, but very handy if you need to make
an ethernet cable to connect something ! )
