fieldbus technology uses Device
OUNDATION
Descriptions (DD) and function blocks to achieve
interoperability between instruments and control
systems or hosts from various manufacturers. The DD
provides information to describe the data interface to
the device.
The following table describes the compatibility
between the DVC6200f firmware revisions and DD
revisions.
Device Description Compatibility
Firmware Revision
2.0 2 and 3
For fieldbus devices, in addition to providing
parameter definitions and other information required
by the control system to communicate with the
fieldbus device, the DD may also include methods.
Methods can be used for a variety of functions
including automatic calibration, setting protection,
setting up the instrument, etc. These methods are a
predetermined sequence of steps for information
required to setup, calibrate, and perform other
functions on the instrument. How the method prompts
the user, and how messages appear is determined by
the host system. For information on using methods on
the host system see the appropriate host system
documentation.
Table E-1 contains the methods available in the
DVC6200f, the block it is found in, and the page
number where it is described.
