Fieldbus ™ OUNDATION Overview fieldbus is a digital communications system ™ OUNDATION that serially interconnects devices in the field. A Fieldbus system is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS) with two exceptions: • Although a Foundation fieldbus system can use the same ™...
Device Description (DD) An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the concept of interoperability, defined as “the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system, regardless of manufac- turer, without loss of functionality.” Device Description (DD) technology is used to achieve this interoperability.
Intrinsic Safety The H1 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applica- tions with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an Intrinsically Safe barrier or galvanic isolator is placed between the power supply in the safe area and the device in the hazardous area. H1 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept (FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a net- work.
Standard Function Blocks Overview The function of a F fieldbus device is deter- ™ OUNDATION mined by the arrangement of a system of blocks defined by the Fieldbus foundation. The types of blocks used in a typi- cal User Application are described as either Standard or Advanced.
2.1.1 Universal fieldbus Block Parameters The following are general descriptions of the parameters common to all function blocks. Additional information for a given parameter may be described later in a section that describes the specific block. ST_REV: a read only parameter that gives the revision level of the static data associated with the block.
Under normal operating conditions, it should be “On-Line.” DD_RESOURCE: A string identifying the tag of the resource that contains the Device Description for this device. MANUFAC_ID: Contains Magnetrol International’s fieldbus ™ manufacturer’s ID number, which is OUNDATION 0x000156.
Page 10
CYCLE_TYPE: Identifies the block execution methods that are available. CYCLE_SEL: Allows the user to select the block execution method. MIN_CYCLE_T: The time duration of the shortest cycle interval. It puts a lower limit on the scheduling of the resource. NV_CYCLE_T: The minimum time interval between copies of non-volatile (NV) parameters to NV memory.
BLOCK_ALM (Block Alarm): Is used for configuration, hardware, connection, or system problems in the block. The cause of any specific alert is entered in the subcode field. ALARM_SUM (Alarm Summary): Contains the current alert status, the unacknowledged states, the unreported states, and the disabled states of the alarms associated with the block.
Page 12
FD_OFFSPEC_MAP: Maps conditions to be detected as active for the OFFSPEC alarm category. FD_MAINT_MAP: Maps conditions to be detected as active for the MAINT alarm category. FD_CHECK_MAP: Maps conditions to be detected as active for the CHECK alarm category. FD_FAIL_MASK: Used to suppress an alarm from being broadcast for single or multiple conditions that are active in the FAIL alarm category.
“simulation” indicator in the Block Error parameter. SERIAL_NUMBER: Read-only parameter that corresponds to “Magnetrol Serial Number” in the Transducer Block. FIRMWARE_VERSION: Read-only parameter that corre- sponds to “Firmware Version” in the Transducer Block. HARDWARE_VERSION: Read-only parameter that corre- sponds to “Hardware Version”...
2.3.1 transducer Block Parameters The first six parameters in the TRANSDUCER Block are the universal parameters discussed in section 2.1.1. After the universal parameters, six additional parameters are required for Transducer Blocks. The most notable of these parame- ters are UPDATE_EVT and BLOCK_ALM. It should be noted that these six additional parameters must exist but do not have to be implemented.
On the other hand, part of the advantage of F OUNDATION fieldbus™ is to provide the ability to monitor changes and make adjustments to a transmitter. The Fieldbus™ concept allows a user to make adjustments if deemed necessary. 2.3.4 Eclipse Model 706 FF device-Specific Configuration Parameters Please refer to ECLIPSE Model 706 I/O Manual BE 57-606 for detailed information on the Model 706 device-specific...

ST_REV: a read only parameter that gives the revision level of the static data associated with the block. This parameter will be incremented each time a static parameter attribute value is written and is a vehicle for tracking changes in static parameter attributes.
Page 17
CHANNEL: The number of the logical hardware channel that is connected to this I/O block. (This information defines the transducer to be used going to or from the phys- ical world). L_TYPE: Determines if the values passed by the transducer block to the AI block may be used directly (Direct), or if the value is in different units and must be converted linearly (Indirect), using the input range defined for the transducer...
LO_LO_ALM: The status for low-low alarm and its associ- ated time stamp. BLOCK_ERR_DESC: Reports more specific details regard- ing some errors reported through BLOCK_ERR. The MODE_BLK parameter (within both the TB and AI Blocks) must be set to AUTO to pass the PV Value through the AI to the network.
NOTE: There are many reasons that AI block Out values can deviate from the measurement value originating in the Transducer block, and because the keypad and local display will only pro- vide access to Transducer block parameters, there is no way to change (or view) the other fieldbus configuration items affecting the AI block output using the keypad and LCD.

4.0 Model 706 Transmitter Configuration Although the ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter can be delivered pre-configured from the factory, it can also be eas- ily reconfigured in the shop or at the installation using the local LCD/Keypad. Bench configuration provides a conve- nient and efficient way to set up the transmitter before going to the tank site to complete the installation.
4.2 Menu Traversal and Data Entry The four push buttons offer various forms of functionality for navigation and data entry. The Model 706 user interface is hierarchical in nature, best described as a tree structure. Each level in the tree contains one or more items.
4.2.3 Entering Numeric Data Using Digit Entry This method is used to input numeric data, e.g., Probe Length or level offset. Push button Keystroke Action Moves up to the next highest digit (0,1,2,3,..,9 or decimal point). If held down the digits scroll until the push button is released.
4.2.5 Entering Character Data This method is used for parameters requiring alphanumeric character entry, such as for entering tags, etc. General Menu Notes: Push button Keystroke Action Moves to the previous character (Z...Y...X...W). If held down, the characters scroll until the push button is released.
This password will be provided, when necessary, by Factory technical support. Factory Password Calibration-related and other factory settings are further protected by a Factory Password. 4.4 Model 706 Menu: Step-By-Step Procedure The following tables provide a complete explanation of the software menus displayed by the ECLIPSE transmitter.

5.0 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics The ECLIPSE Model 706 transmitter is designed and engi- neered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of oper- ating conditions. The transmitter continuously runs a series of internal self-tests and displays helpful messages on the large graphic liquid crystal display (LCD) when attention is required.
While changing any transmitter parameters using the local display or through a system configuration tool (with the MODE_BLK in OOS), the output might be inaccurate because of the changing parameters. When the device is set to OOS, the TRANSDUCER BLOCK will still output level but the QUALITY will be shown as “Bad”...

In essence, this approach ensures that the right diagnostic information is available to the right person-at the right time. In addition, it allows diagnostics to be applied, as most appropriate, for a particular plant application (such as process control engineering or asset management mainte- nance).
