FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system that serves as a Local Area Network (LAN) for factory/plant instrumentation and control devices.
FOUNDATION fieldbus is used in both process and manufacturing automation applications and has a built-in capability to distribute the control application across the network.
While FOUNDATION fieldbus retains many of the desirable features of the 4-20 mA analog system, such as a standardized physical interface to the wire, bus-powered devices on a single wire, and intrinsic safety options, it offers a host of additional benefits to users.

 CORBA-Served PIA Foundation Classes: Foundation Architecture
There is a strong desire to maintain the architectural form established by the C++ realization of the architecture so as to minimize outlying code impact of the migration to the CORBA-Served form.
The service-activation architecture (that is, the "finger of activity" that brings active instances into the server and flushes inactive ones back out to disk) is almost totally driven by the expected size of practical PIA applications.
As such, a Foundation Layer server is pretty much oblivious to anything outside itself; it has no knowledge of other servers, no concept of a user beyond that of client code invoking methods, a little functionality beyond turning various diagnostic logs on and off.
