This chapter provides an overview of the FBUS-HSE/H1 Linking Device (LD) hardware. Product Overview High Speed Ethernet (HSE) is an extension to the Foundation Fieldbus specification and is governed by the Foundation Fieldbus organization. HSE compliments the Foundation Fieldbus H1 network (31.25 kb/s) specification by offering a high speed (10 Mb/s) link to H1 segments.
Figure 1-1 shows an FBUS-HSE/H1 LD connected to an Ethernet network. 1 FBUS-HSE/H1 LD 2 Ethernet Cable In a distributed application, many Fieldbus H1 segments are networked together using HSE LDs. With Ethernet, you can use an unlimited number of Fieldbus H1 segments. Depending on the Ethernet topology, an unlimited number of host computers can access each bank from any distance.
Ethernet port. The Ethernet status LEDs on the front of the linking device display the current status of Ethernet link. The linking device has two separate H1 Fieldbus ports. Next to each port is an LED to display the current port status.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration 1 Cover 2 Lip Removing the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD To remove a linking device, unlock it from the DIN rail by placing a screwdriver in the slot on the rail snap and open the rail snap to the unlocked position, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Mounting the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to a Panel Complete the following steps to install the optional Fieldbus network panel mount accessory and mount the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD network module to a panel. You can order the panel mount accessory from National Instruments.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Connect Your FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to the Network Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. You also can connect an FBUS-HSE/H1 LD directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable.
Connect the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to the Fieldbus Network The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD can be one of up to 32 devices connected to a Fieldbus H1 network. The connection is made through one of the two 9-pin male D-sub Fieldbus H1 connectors on the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD, shown in Figure 2-4.

Appendix A Resetting the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Reset Switch Note There are three switches on the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD. The Reset switch is at the right in Figure A-1. The other two switches are reserved for future use. You should not change the Reset unless you want to reset the device.
Appendix B Troubleshooting 1 H1 Port1 Network Status 2 Power 3 Process Ethernet LEDs The six Ethernet LEDs are located on the top panel. The green POWER LED is lit while the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is powered up. This LED indicates that the power supply connected to the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is acceptable.

Module STATUS LED The module STATUS LED is located on the front of the linking device, between the two Fieldbus (H1 Network) connectors, as shown in Figure B-1. It indicates whether the linking device is powered, configured, and operating properly. Table B-2 shows how to interpret the STATUS LED states.

Operational state indicates the linking device has left standby state because the necessary network configuration (if any) has occurred. H1 Network Status LEDs Each Fieldbus (H1 Network) port on the linking device has an LED to indicate the functional states of the port. Table B-3 describes each state. Steady green...
