Table P.A Content Summary
Read this chapter: If you need to:
Chapter 1, The Fieldbus Communication
Model or network layer? become familiar with the Fieldbus Foundation is or what constitutes the F OUNDATION
Fieldbus® technology. This section also includes descriptions of some standard fieldbus
function blocks and describes the role of Device Descriptions and block parameters for general
reference.
Chapter 2, Integrating Fieldbus into
ProcessLogix R400.0 gain some insight on what functional relationships result from the integration of fieldbus
devices with a ProcessLogix system. The information in this section will be helpful background
for planning and configuring your control strategy.
Chapter 3, Planning Considerations be responsible for setting up the hardware infrastructure to support fieldbus devices. This
section identifies the things you should consider before installing any equipment and provides
detailed procedures for how to install the Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) and its companion
Remote Termination Panel (RTP).
Chapter 4, Configuration be the one configuring the control strategy through Control Builder. This section provides
detailed procedures for including fieldbus functional components in your overall control
strategy. It includes creating hardware blocks, making templates, associating blocks, assigning
modules, assigning devices, and loading components
Chapter 5, Operation be monitoring system operation. This section provides an overview of functions you can monitor
through Station displays and the Monitoring tab in Control Builder.
Chapter 6, General Maintenance,
Checkout and Calibration be responsible for maintaining and trouble shooting system operation. This section provides
information about replacing components, upgrading firmware in uncommissioned devices, and
checking device calibration.
