2.1 Overview
The USB Fieldbus Interface enables two-way communication between a
computer and fieldbus devices. Its primary function is to allow the setup,
configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices at any
valid FF address through a computer.
The interface is fully compatible with all FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) devices
and is always configured as a "visitor."
It is particularly useful in these plant scenarios:
• Workbench setup and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices
• With a laptop in the field to configure, commission, decommission, set
device address, or troubleshoot fieldbus devices
The USB Fieldbus Interface comes with a USB cable, lead set, user's manual*,
and installation CD/DVD*. The user's manual and installation CD/DVD are not
included in the illustration.
