it is quite standard in industrial environments and still popular (at
least in europe) but existant installations slowly get replaced with
ethernet based (100baseFX) or industrial ethernet (10Mbit) transceivers.
it is not an open standard. i presume that most larger shops try to get
rid of it in favor of ethernet/ip based solutions except for very low
latency applications which appear to be migrating to firewire based
systems.
