What does WITS do ?
The WITS protocol, based on the generic DNP3 protocol, provides interoperability between different vendors equipment, with all the benefits that brings to the Water Industry . . .
The WITS Standard - A users guide
The WITS DNP3 Telemetry Standards went live in March 2010. Guy Fitzpatrick of ITT Water & Wastewater explains how these new standards will affect all those involved in the water industry.

About us
The WITS Protocol Standards Association
Ownership and maintenance of the Standard
The WITS Protocol Standards Association (PSA) provides for the long term maintenance and management of the WITS protocol and has its own independent elected committee drawn from members of the vendor and user communities.
The PSA has ownership of the Standard and has the responsibility to ensure that the long term maintenance of the Standard is secure in order to prevent it from becoming fragmented.
For an annual fee the members of the Association have rights to nominate and elect members of the committee, gain access to the Application Notes, information on standards, specifications etc.
Vendor members are able to achieve Self Certified or Verified status for their products and be entitled to have their products listed on the PSA website.
The membership fee funds a part time secretary/treasurer whose duties will include administering the new website, maintaining documentation and association funds.

WITS Testing - the joy of plugfests
During 2007, the detail design of the WITS protocol was undertaken by a joint development team including engineers from all contributing founder vendors. This team has seen the WITS protocol move successfully from requirements through to a working protocol implemented, tested and certified on all the vendors equipment by the end of 2010. This article describes a key, and very successful, feature of the WITS development process - the WITS plugfests.
