An interface module ( 200 ) and method for operation include ports ( 302 a-b) for communicating over a network ( 308 ) with a first protocol to a plurality of field devices ( 102 a-n). The interface module also has a port ( 316 ) for communicating with a process controller ( 114 ) via a high speed network and protocol such as High Speed Ethernet (HSE). The interface module ( 200 ) includes a controller ( 320 ) for implementing a plurality of process function modules ( 322, 324, 325 ), each of the plurality of process function modules ( 322, 324, 325 ) corresponding to one of the plurality of field devices ( 102 a-n). Remote programmability, email messaging and alarms are supported.
