A serial control bus for interdevicehtrabuilding as well as intrasite interconnection of microcontrollers is described. The bus, which is defined for (but not limited to) microcontrollers and devices with limited reprogrammability, provides a multidrop bit-serial communication protocol that will allow the interconnection of distributed Independently manufactured devices. The protocol is optimized for instrumentation, distributed data acquisition systems, control devices, and test and measurement. Specifications for a common architecture, generic bus services, system wagement, data link, and several physical media are provided. The serial control bus expands upon BITBUS without making existing devices obsolete. System reliability has been enhanced by the addition of a system management layer, and generic bus services have been expanded.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
