Configuration

Local configuration

The configuration of FOUNDATION Fieldbus communications
for an AWT210 transmitter can be set locally using the keypad
and menus however it is recommended that the configuration
is set remotely by a FOUNDATION Fieldbus master.

Fieldbus application processes

FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices can be divided into two parts
under the point of view of technical competence who must take
care of its configuration and use.
• The Device Application Process (DAP) is device specific and
stays with the device wherever it is used.
• The Control Application Process (CAP) is configured for the
specific plant location and may be spread over multiple
devices.
Communication between the DAP and CAP takes place using
channels. Each I/O function block in the CAP has exclusive use
of exactly one channel. A channel may be bi-directional and it
may have multiple values.

Device Application Process (DAP)

The DAP is used primarily by the instrumentation technician or
maintenance personnel for configuring I/O when the
instrument is going to be installed in the plant and/or during
maintenance operations and for this reason mainly focused on
the Resource Block and Transducer Blocks of the device.
Used to configure the communications.

Control Application Process (CAP)

The CAP is used by the control engineer for configuring the
plant control strategy and for this reason mainly focused on the
Function Blocks of the device.
