Integrating Fieldbus into Rockwell Automation Logix System 2-5
Figure 2.2 Project tab in Control Builder has new icons for Fieldbus components.
Foundation Fieldbus Configuration Tool
To configure the 1788-CN2FF, you use 1788-FFCT Configuration
Software tool. This Fieldbus configuration software uses RSLinx to
connect via ControlNet (supports redundant ControlNet) to any CN2FF
devices on the Network.
Using the FFCT software you can configure any Foundation Fieldbus
device, as well as view, display, and monitor all Foundation Fieldbus
parameters. You can also use this tool to setup the data exchange to
PLCs, ControlLogix, and ProcessLogix processors.
Centralized Operator Interface
The ProcessLogix R400.0 Station application includes Detail Displays
dedicated to the configured FIM, associated H1 Links, fieldbus device,
and associated fieldbus function blocks. They provide access to the
same parameters that are accessible through the control charts and
configuration forms in the Monitoring tab of Control Builder. This
includes manufacturer specific parameters, where applicable.
The reporting of alarm conditions and retrieval of process data for
inclusion in group, trend, history, and schematic displays is closely
integrated with ProcessLogix's existing notification management
system. The existing access authorization levels apply and will take
precedence over fieldbus restrictions specified in Device Descriptions.
