Connecting The Svi Ff - GE Baker Hughes Masoneilan SVI FF Installation And Operation Manual

Quite often the Field Instruments connected to the Yokogawa DCS are restricted to be
between 20 (0x14) and 32 (0x20). This range is adjustable and may be further restricted or
extended.
It is a good practice to review the list of devices already configured or connected to the
segment in the device list and select one of the un-used device addresses for the new device.
Use ValVue3 or a similar tool to set the device address with the selected value before the
device is connected to the bus.

2. Connecting the SVI FF

The device can be connected to an active FF segment at any time. If a duplicate device
address is detected, the device is moved to a temporary address and may require additional
address assignment.
Starting Device Recognition Registration
1. From the Fieldbus Builder, right-click on the segment and select Device Recognition
Registration from the menu (Figure 76).
This starts a procedure to discover all devices connected to the Foundation Fieldbus
Segment (Figure 77).
The Fieldbus Builder software and the Fieldbus interface module interrogates the
connected devices and collects information required to identify the devices. The results
are presented in the message window in the Fieldbus Builder.
The information includes Device Tag, Device ID, Device Address, Basic or Linkmaster class,
etc. If the device is recognized for the first time, additional information is collected about
the device blocks, device parameters, device capabilities and default device parameters
settings. If the CFF file is not found for that device, the Fieldbus Builder also creates a
(temporary) CFF File.
