Configuring the FB700 Module

Since the beginning, Smar has been the leader in Foundation Fieldbus (FF) technology and the
DF65 was the first logic controller type of device to support a module that can be completely
integrated in a Foundation Fieldbus network.
The FB700 module is a standard FF device that can be integrated into a control strategy throughout
a relationship with other function blocks located inside other devices in the network.
Smar has developed a couple blocks on the FB700 allowing data transactions between the Logic
Ladder network and FF devices. These function blocks act as links between two worlds. For discrete
signal interface we use the CIDD or CODD while for analog signal interface we use the CIAD or
COAD blocks.
Block Diagram
For the FB700 module makes sure to enter the same physical device tag, (e.g. MIO-123 etc.) for the
module as you have entered in the Syscon software.
Syscon is a dedicated tool to configure, download, troubleshoot and monitor a Foundation Fieldbus
network. It is where the FF control strategy is set connecting function blocks from different devices.
From the SYSCON each FB700 is seen as a regular FF device and consequently the user has to
associate the unique "Device Tag" to it. The Syscon is also where the user defines the number of
each I/O function block (MDO, MAO, MDI, MAI) necessary to interact with the FB700.
The table below shows the direct relationship between function blocks seen in the Syscon and how
they are represented on the LOGICVIEW.

The following dialog box, in the LOGICVIEW, must be filled in to be compatible with the Syscon.
Description
ALARM - The input signal will be examined and an
appropriate output will be set in order to reflect its
condition.
Comm. Input Digital Data - 8 Digital signals from the
input will be available for the PLC.
Comm. Input Analog Data - 8 Analog Signals from the
input will be available for the PLC.
Comm. Output Digital Data - 8 Digital signals from the
PLC can be sent to the network.
Comm. Output Analog Data - 8 Analog signals from
the PLC can be sent to the network.
