1 INTRODUCTION
Foundation Fieldbus is an industrial fieldbus which allows connecting actuators and
other devices (sensors ...) to a Distributed Control System (DCS)
Logic Controller
(PLC). Many actuators and other devices can be connected on a
fieldbus line provided they are all equipped with a compatible Foundation Fieldbus
interface.
Foundation Fieldbus uses standard Function Blocks. A Function Block could be
digital output (DO) as commands open close, digital input (DI) as feedback status
valve open, valve closed. There is also Function Blocks analog output (AO) and
analog input (AI) for signals as position signals. A Proportionnal / Integral / Derivative
(PID) control may be performed by the field through the use of Function Blocks.
The Foundation Fieldbus interface described in this document has been specially
designed for the Bernard actuators with INTELLI+ control.
Control box with inside Foundation Fieldbus interface could be supplied to connect
other equipment.
Please make sure to get and read the INTELLI+ instructions for start-up
(ref.NR1151) prior going further with the setting of the INTELLIBUS FF interface.
2 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
-
The INTELLIBUS FF interface is powered directly from the fieldbus and is fully
isolated from the actuator.
