FOUNDATION FIELDBUS
Two-way digital communications system

designed for interconnecting smart field devices and control systems. mounted devices.

HART Vs Fieldbus
HART
Uses 4-20mA signal. Speed - 1200 bps Ability to provide diagnostics for the device only ,

has no knowledge of other devices

Poll - HART status periodically Multidrop 15 devices but slow.

Field bus:
Advanced diagnostics - Eg: Process Monitoring and

Machinery Health monitoring.

Push - with events latched and time stamped in the

device and sent to device.

Advantages of Fieldbus Foundation

Interoperability with other Field bus

device.

High speed Advanced Diagnostics

Types
H1 31.25 Kbit/s interconnects field

equipment such as sensors, actuators and I/O. provides integration of high speed 03:56:55 PM controllers.

Field Device Access (FDA)

Convey SM services over UDP FMS Services over UDP/TCP Allows HSE and H1 field devices,

conventional I/O devices, and non-FF I/O devices to be connected to the HSE through a linking or a gateway device.

HSE System Management

Integrates devices on an HSE network into

a coherent communication system

Unique, permanent identity for device Maintains version control Function block schedules Devices added/removed without affecting

other devices

Virtual Field Devices (VFDs)

Network visible objects of an Application

Process

Descriptions of network visible objects are

contained within the Object Dictionary (OD) within the VFD.

OD :
composed of a series of entries, each

describing an individual object and its attributes. used to obtain the description of the object 03:56:57 PM from the OD. The OD index is also used to
