I think that plain ethernet will be the "fieldbus"
of the future (if something like this will still be necessary). We do already run several power plants all of them intra en extra wired using ethernet topologies (copper, fiber wnd wireless). At the "field level" we use OPC and MMS/UCA protocolls for control intercomunication. At the interplant and corporate level we run plain TCP/IP for SCADA and ERP and CMS integration.
