Abstract: This is an update of my 2009 ISHM paper with the same title it contains revisions and additional content. Communications systems range from the simple to complex we have a lot of choices to make! Making the best choices and avoiding the pitfalls can mean the difference between success and failure. The trend is to locate the polling engine in a data center or business office, remote from the production field or pipeline. This trend creates demands for connectivity equipped with an Ethernet digital interface. The business reality is that we must use capital wisely and control recurring cost while providing the service that our internal and external customers demand. Systems must be well documented to be maintain able. We must be able to define the quality of the connection and measure it (you cant manage what you cant measure). The connections to remote equipment may be isolated on hard to reach locations and they may be relocated from time-to-time. These and many other considerations may appear to make our decision making task impossible. The reality is that we dont have to choose a single option for all our needs. In fact complex systems usually rely on numerous connectivity methods. Some of the options are described here.
