FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 Devices Blocks

In Parameter Manager, only the TB (transducer block) and resource block are selected to be

displayed/set by default for FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 devices. Blocks other than these can be

added in the option settings. These settings become common definitions for devices of the same

type (model).
More specifically, the read/write permission can be set for all blocks in a device. However, only

the write permission is enabled/disabled for the transducer block and resource block. The read

permission is always enabled.

MIB Parameters and Block Tag Headers of FOUNDATION fieldbus H1

Devices

This function does not support the MIB parameters (NMIB and SMIB parameters) and block

headers (function block tags, etc.) of FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 devices.

FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 Device Mode

When downloading to an FOUNDATION fieldbus device, the default process is to automatically

enter O/S (Out of Service) mode and then switch back to the previous mode after writing

completes. This process can be enabled or disabled with the “Change O/S Mode during

download” setting in the Option settings.

Categorize Parameters by Class Attribute

This function allows the user to categorize and display device parameters by class attribute.
This function is applied to all currently displayed blocks and allows the user to display

parameters that have a class attribute in the order of the blocks.

• The following 5 tabs are displayed for FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 devices.

Alarm, Tune, Operate, Service, Diagnostic

• The following 4 tabs are displayed for HART devices.

UPLOAD, MENU, Service, Diagnostic

Custom Tab

The Custom tab allows the user to freely assign, across FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 blocks, a list

of parameters that needs to be monitored on a device type basis.
To add and display items in the Custom tab, select the desired parameters in a window other

than the Custom tab and then select “Send to Custom tab.” To remove parameters from the

Custom tab, select a parameter and click “Delete from Custom tab” on the Custom tab.
