Leverage their digital diagnotsics to ensure the real-time integrity of control actions. THE recent publication of IEC TR 63082-1:2020 "Intelligent Device Management - Part 1: Concepts and terminology" in February and subsequent adoption by ISA at the end of April is one more tool developed to help the control community make better use of the capabilities existing in their already installed systems. This initial document in a planned series on intelligent device management (IDM) addresses the 'why' of asset management as it pertains to industrial intelligent devices (IIDs). Part 2, presently under development as a planned international standard, will describe 'what' is necessary, and then subsequent technical reports (TR) will provide details on the 'how' to implement the 'what' in Part 2.
