    PROFIBUS P ™ Overview Description PROFIBUS PA is a digital communications system that ™ serially interconnects devices in the field. A fieldbus system is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS) with two exceptions: • PROFIBUS PA is a system that allows the user to ™...

  • Page 5: Benefits

    All PROFIBUS PA ™ devices must be tested for interoperability by a PI accredited, independent testing agency. Magnetrol Model R86PA device certification infor- mation can be found at www.profibus.com. 2. Operation: A PROFIBUS PA ™ system allows for multiple variables to be brought back from each device to the control room for additional trending and reporting.

  • Page 7: Intrinsic Safety

    Intrinsic Safety The IEC 61158 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applications with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an IS barrier or galvanic isolator is placed between the power supply in the safe area and the device in the hazardous area. IEC 61158 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept (FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a network.

  • Page 27: Troubleshooting And Diagnostics

    4.0 Troubleshooting and Diagnostics The PULSAR Model R86 transmitter is designed and engineered for trouble-free operation over a wide range of operating conditions. The transmitter continuously runs a series of internal self-tests and displays helpful messages on the large graphic liquid crystal display (LCD) when atten- tion is required.

  • Page 28: Diagnostics (Namur Ne 107)

    If the Model R86 fails to find a measurable level, the TRANSDUCER BLOCK maintains the last good value as the output and flags the failure. The QUALITY is “Bad,” the SUB_STATUS is “Sensor failure” for no level, and the LIMIT attribute is “Constant.” Refer to Section 4.2 for additional information.
