What Is Fieldbus?
Fieldbus - a digital, two-way multi-drop communication link among intelligent measurement and control devices, and automation and display systems.

4-20 mA Systems
Advantages: OPEN, interoperable, interchangeable Broad range of equipment Multiple suppliers Standard control system interfaces Standard support equipment Shortcomings:
4-20 mA

I/O

Limited information - one variable, one direction Point-to-point wiring

Traditional Analog & Discrete Instruments

How is Fieldbus Different from 4-20

4-20mA fieldbus P.S. P.S.

Fieldbus devices are connected in parallel on the bus, which carries digital data from/to all the devices on the bus Fieldbus devices provide almost unlimited information to all other devices on the network Data have cyclical redundancy checking (CRC) to ensure receiving devices use only good data A multidrop fieldbus does not have the shortcoming of pointto-point wiring

In todays systems, control functions all reside in central controllers.

Fieldbus can be used in the same way, but fieldbus also enables control and I/O functions to be distributed to field instruments.

Fieldbus is the Next Generation

Fieldbus

offers:

Reduced wiring and installation costs Expanded view of the process More information for engineering, maintenance, and support functions Distribution of control functions to field devices

Power Conditioner
A

power conditioner is a power supply impedance matching network and is required

May be integral to the fieldbus power

supply or external

May contain either

traditional inductors or the electronic equivalent

Terminators
A terminator is an impedance matching device

used at near and far ends of a fieldbus segment to prevent reflections of signals There should be exactly two terminators per fieldbus bus segment. Rule of thumb: place terminators

as far apart as possible

Polarity
Fieldbus devices may be sensitive to polarity Therefore, treat all devices as polarity sensitive

until all your suppliers say their devices are not polarity sensitive Fieldbus twisted pairs cables are required to indicate polarity (color coding of conductors) Polarity should be maintained through all connection points

Grounding
Grounding rules used in the installation of

the fieldbus should follow current standard practices based on company/plant standards and applicable international standards one point

Fieldbus shield should only be grounded at Fieldbus devices should not connect either

conductor of the twisted pair to ground at any point in the network Shield may not be used as a power conductor

Summary - Preparing for Fieldbus

Select appropriate wire type and size for fieldbus

application Locate junction boxes in strategic locations Power and terminate segment properly Locate loop devices on one network, if possible Avoid
Segments and spurs that are too long Too many devices on one network
Loop

devices on more than one segment Series wiring
