4.15 Options – Fieldbus Interfaces
The Fusion controller is able to operate under different Input/Output control structures
through use of a modular I/O interface board installed in the rear of the unit. With the intro-
duction of “Open” communication networks known as “Fieldbus”, the direct interfacing to
these networks became necessary. FEC integrated many of these Fieldbus directly into our
system through use of a modular I/O board interfacing these networks directly to our I/O.
The available I/O interfaces are: Profibus, & Allen Bradley Remote I/O. (others available -
Contact FEC for additional Fieldbus requirements) The fieldbus interface boards are inte-
grated directly to internal I/O signals which eliminate associated I/O wiring thus reducing
overall assembly labor. In fieldbus systems, the communication is typically of the Mas-
ter/Slave format in which the FEC unit is a slave to the master PLC/CPU. Some of the Field-
bus interfaces are also capable of sending limited fastening data as well as I/O control.
The Fieldbus interface module is factory installed in the rear auxiliary opening (where the real
time clock (RTC) module normally resides). With a fieldbus interface installed, the real time
clock is installed internally with the RTC cable extending through the fieldbus cover plate for
connection to the rear real time clock connector.
Fieldbus interface module is
factory-installed in this auxiliary slot.
Note: With the fieldbus module installed for
I/O control, the I/O on Terminal TB1 is still enabled
Fieldbus Link Status
The Fusion controller display has a special function for displaying the Fieldbus link status
whether the controller is connected and active on the fieldbus network or not.
Count / D-NO.
The COUNT/D-NO LED on the front of
the controller indicates the fieldbus link
status. The two decimal points will illu-
minate when the Fieldbus link is
DISABLED. Check all connections and
configurations for proper set-up.
