Experion PKS FOUNDATION Fieldbus Specification & Technical Data ii

Introduction
FOUNDATION Fieldbus is an enabling technology for dynamically integrating field devices with digitally based process control systems. It defines how "smart" field devices communicate with other devices in a control network. The technology is based upon the International Standards Organization's Open System Interconnection (OSI) model for layered communications. The Fieldbus Foundation is the leading organization dedicated to a single international, interoperable fieldbus standard and responsible for FOUNDATION Fieldbus. It was established in September 1994 by a merger of WorldFIP North America and the Interoperable Systems Project (ISP). Today, the foundation is a not-for-profit corporation consisting of nearly 120 of the world's leading suppliers and end users of process control and manufacturing automation products. The Experion PKS Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) is a high-performance, chassis-based module that completely integrates FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices with the Experion PKS system.

Product Description & Features

Robust chassis-based design. The FIM installs in the Experion PKS C200 Controller rack or in a remote I/O chassis rack to suit the needs of the process. This doublewidth chassis-based module features a high-capacity design that delivers system-wide integration of data access, control, connections, diagnostics, and alarms with the Experion PKS system. Fieldbus is completely and transparently integrated into a single, unified database using a common engineering tool, Control Builder. Connections between FOUNDATION fieldbus and C200 Controller function blocks are easily made in the same manner as connecting C200 control blocks together. The FIM can be used with or without the C200 Controller, offering endless possibilities. Like other I/O Figure 1. The Experion PKS Fieldbus modules, the FIM Interface Module (FIM) can be located (shown mounted in chassis) locally with the controller, or remotely, up to 10 kilometers away. The DIN-rail mounted Remote Termination Panel (RTP), available in powered and unpowered versions, allows link power to be maintained in the unlikely event the FIM is shut down or disconnected. Easy engineering with Control Builder. Control Builder time-saving features include device replacement (to replace failed devices), block assign and un-assign (for maximum configuration flexibility), and device upload (to save valuable information in devices). An especially useful feature is recognition of uncommissioned (new) fieldbus devices on the link. When a new device is added to the link, its presence is shown both on the FIM display and in Control Builder. Important information about the device, including

tag name, address, model, and revision, are immediately available, so you always know what you are working with. Direct use of DD/CFF files. Control Builder directly reads Device Description (DD) and Capability files from manufacturers and adds these devices to the library for off-line and on-line configuration. Note that in previous releases this was handled via a separate tool, Fieldbus Library Manager. Control Builder also adds parameter help information from Device Description files to Knowledge Builder (KB), the Experion PKS on-line system documentation. There is no need to wait for special files to use the latest available FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.

Time-saving Firmware Download feature. Downloading new software to devices is a unique time-saving feature offered with Honeywells fieldbus solution. Honeywell pioneered this capability to handle new product enhancements and bug fixes, and it has now become a FOUNDATION fieldbus specification. Using the Firmware Download feature, there is no need to physically change firmware, and no need to disconnect or remove devices for updating to the latest available revision, as the entire download process is handled directly from Control Builder. Firmware download times vary by device. Honeywell devices typically require approximately ten minutes per device to download new firmware. Experion PKS supports the ability to simultaneously download the latest firmware to multiple field devices, saving considerable time and expense.

Figure 3. Experion PKS can simultaneously download firmware to a large number of devices!

Chart Visualization to get the correct information to the operator. A characteristic of FOUNDATION Fieldbus is that each device has a unique set of parameters. A temperature transmitter, for example, has completely different parameters than a control valve. Chart Visualization is a powerful, timesaving feature that presents device blocks (Resource and Transducer) and function blocks (AI, AO, PID, etc.) with all manufacturer-defined information directly to the operator. With Chart Visualization, there is no need for custom forms or displays for every type of device. There is also no need to worry about the security of parameters, as parameter access follows the security level of the Station and is the same as for parameters in all other displays. No special engineering effort is required, and implementation time is minimal. Of course, Experion PKS provides complete flexibility to create your own custom detail displays. Full Support for Link Active Schedule and Backup Link Schedule. Graphical support of the Link Active Schedule (LAS), allows you to see whats going on and provides complete flexibility to adjust schedules based upon the needs of your control scheme. Experion PKS also supports the Back-up Link Active Schedule in multiple LAS-capable devices.

Experion PKS FOUNDATION Fieldbus Specifications and Technical Data Release 200 Fieldbus Interface Module Redundancy for No Single Point of Failure. With Experion PKS, fieldbus redundancy is robust with no single points of failure as well as easy to use. The design uses Honeywells field-proven Redundancy Module (RM) to completely synchronize the primary and secondary FIMs. Fieldbus devices, function blocks and control strategies are all built in the same way, whether redundant or not. This makes redundancy transparent to the operator as well as the engineer. The user sees a single set of tags, and there is no need to rethink control strategies to accommodate redundancy. Fieldbus function blocks do not need to mode shed during switchover or failover. With Honeywells advanced diagnostics, the primary and secondary fieldbus modules are in constant communication. The absence of a redundant partner, for example, is detected and announced to the user in the form of a system notification, not a process alarm. Fieldbus Host Interoperability Test. The Experion PKS Fieldbus solution has successfully completed the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Host Interoperability Support Testing (HIST), performed at Honeywells Fieldbus Interoperability Test Lab and witnessed by a Fieldbus Foundation representative. HIST procedures provide a common methodology for assessing host interoperability with registered devices. Documentation of the Experion PKS solution test results is available upon request.

Figure 6. Fieldbus Interface Module (Non-Redundant) Shown Configured With Two H1 Networks The Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) is shown above in a non-redundant FIM configuration. Each FIM connects to a DIN-rail mounted Remote Termination Panel (RTP) via a FIM Cable, available in several lengths. An RTP supports two (2) H1 Fieldbus link connections. FIMs can be placed in all rack locations that support Series A Chassis I/O. FIMs do not require presence of the C200 controller. The FIM may be used in either non-redundant or redundant configurations. A non-redundant FIM can be located in a C200 or remote I/O chassis and connects to a single Non-Redundant RTP (see below). Redundant FIM pairs reside in redundant racks following the same rules as C200 Controller and IO Link Module redundancy (racks must be identical in every way). The Redundant RTP has two FIM cable connections, and each FIM in the redundant pair connects via a separate FIM cable.

Rules and Guidelines. The following are some important rules and guidelines regarding the implementation of Fieldbus Interface Modules.
Quantity of FIMs per chassis is subject to available slots and power. CNI(s) and RMs must be considered. A remote I/O chassis, for example, will support a CNI, RM and up to 6 FIMs (power limit). A C200 Controller chassis will support a CNI, C200, RM and up to 4 FIMs (up to two more CNIs could be added). Non-redundant FIMs, CNIs, IOLIMs and other I/O modules cannot be placed in any chassis used for redundancy. Non-redundant RTPs cannot be used for redundancy. There are important redundancy robustness features that require the Redundant RTP. Redundancy is completely transparent to Fieldbus and controller configurations. No additional work required. The maximum number of devices per fieldbus H1 link is 16 devices for redundant FIMs, the same as with non-redundant FIMs. Note this specification is subject to testing. A Downlink CNI can support up to 6 redundant FIM pairs (total of 12 FIMs) or 8 non-redundant FIMs.

Refer to the Specifications and Capacity section that follows for specific detailed specifications and model numbers.

Qualified for use with 50 ms CEE and ControlNet Supervisory Process Control Network only. The Fieldbus Interface Module is not supported with the Ethernet Supervisory Process Control Network. The maximum number of supportable devices per network is highly dependent on application, bandwidth, devices, available current, bus length and topology. An understanding of Fieldbus is crucial to system sizing. Each FIM network uses 2 VCRs, each device uses 2 VCRs, and each published connection to/from a Controller FB uses 1 VCR. Connections between devices do not use FIM VCRs. A 2 sec macrocycle could, for example, have subschedule periods of 1 sec, 500ms, and 250ms. The FIM should not be used use with any control module executing more frequently than the FF device. Only Series D CNI modules must be used with the FIM.

Fieldbus Device Interoperability Testing

Device Testing. The Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) relies on the Fieldbus Library Manager (FLM), an off-line tool, to create Fieldbus device function block libraries. It uses the off-line capabilities of Control Builder to implement strategies involving Fieldbus devices, supporting live commissioning of devices as well. For the FLM to work properly, devices must be registered with the Fieldbus Foundation at level ITK 4.0 or higher. At Honeywell, our Fieldbus Interoperability Lab has tested a large number of devices and revisions with the Experion PKS Fieldbus solution. Device Descriptor files for devices tested are made available on our public website at www.acs.honeywell.com (select Products, then Foundation Fieldbus, then look for Interoperability Support Library link). It is not necessary to test devices to insure they will work correctly with the system, but we are happy to test any device at no charge if requested to do so. To get a device scheduled for testing, contact your Honeywell account manager. There is no charge for devices that meet the above criteria. For earlier version or non-qualified devices, additional resources will be required and a service fee will be assessed for the additional effort. Note that some very early devices have been found to be incompatible with ITK 4.0.
