Maximum cable length of an H1 segment using maximum 4 repeaters: 5 x 1,900 m = 9.5 km. All spurs from the field devices to the junction boxes have to be included in the total length calculation.
Actuator controls General information regarding Foundation Fieldbus AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Foundation Fieldbus To meet these requirements, the Foundation Fieldbus needs a central communication control system (Link Active Scheduler = LAS). 2.4.1. Link Active Scheduler - LAS A field device performing the Link Active Scheduler (LAS) function controls and schedules the bus communication.
Actuator controls AC 01.2/ACExC 01.2 Foundation Fieldbus General information regarding Foundation Fieldbus However, performance and functionality of the communication system considerably depend on these services. Fieldbus Access Sublay- The FAS services create Virtual Communication Relationships (VCR) which are used by the higher-level FMS layer to execute its tasks. VCRs describe different types of er (FAS) communication processes and enable faster processing of the associated activities.
