types, HART, FOUNDATION fieldbus, PROFIBUS, BRAIN and ISA100. For HART and BRAIN,
you can perform communication using an optional HART/BRAIN modem of FieldMate by
connecting it directly to the field device.
For FOUNDATION fieldbus and PROFIBUS, you can perform communication by purchasing
a NI-FBUS of National Instruments or FFusb from Softing (for FOUNDATION fieldbus) or a
PROFIusb of Softing, (for PROFIBUS) and connecting it to the bus to which the field device is
connected.

connection.
The BIC mode is available for both Basic and Advance.
