  • Page 6: Device Description (Dd)

    Device Description (DD) An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the concept of interoperability, defined as “the ability to operate multiple devices in the same system, regardless of manufac- turer, without loss of functionality.” Device Description (DD) technology is used to achieve this interoperability.

  • Page 7: Intrinsic Safety

    Intrinsic Safety The H1 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applica- tions with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an Intrinsically Safe barrier or galvanic isolator is placed between the power supply in the safe area and the device in the hazardous area. H1 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept (FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a net- work.

  • Page 8: Standard Function Blocks

    Standard Function Blocks Overview The function of a F fieldbus device is deter- ™ OUNDATION mined by the arrangement of a system of blocks defined by the Fieldbus foundation. The types of blocks used in a typi- cal User Application are described as either Standard or Advanced.

  • Page 9: Universal Fieldbus Block Parameters

    2.1.1 universal fieldbus Block Parameters The following are general descriptions of the parameters common to all function blocks. Additional information for a given parameter may be described later in a section that describes the specific block. ST_REV: a read only parameter that gives the revision level of the static data associated with the block.

  • Page 10: Resource Block (Rb)

    Under normal operating conditions, it should be “On-Line.” DD_RESOURCE: A string identifying the tag of the resource that contains the Device Description for this device. MANUFAC_ID: Contains Magnetrol International’s fieldbus ™ manufacturer’s ID number, which is OUNDATION 0x000156.

  • Page 12: Additional Resource Block Parameters

    WRITE_LOCK: When set to LOCKED, will prevent any external change to the static or non-volatile data base in the Function Block Application of the transmitter. Block con- nections and calculation results will proceed normally, but the configuration will be locked. UPDATE_EVT (Update Event): Is an alert generated by a write to the static data in the block.
  • Page 13 FD_M INT_ CTIVE: For error conditions that have been selected for the MAINT alarm category, this parameter reflects those that have been detected as active. FD_CHECK_ CTIVE: For error conditions that have been selected for the CHECK alarm category, this parame- ter reflects those that have been detected as active.

  • Page 14: Transducer Block (Tb)

    SERI L_NUMBER: Manufacturer specific read-only para- meter that corresponds to “Magnetrol Serial Number” in the Transducer Block. SOFTW RE_REV: Read-only parameter that corresponds to “Firmware Version” in the Transducer Block.

  • Page 15: Tb Parameters

    2.3.1 transducer Block Parameters The first six parameters in the TRANSDUCER Block are the universal parameters discussed in section 2.1.1. After the universal parameters, six additional parameters are required for Transducer Blocks. The most notable of these parame- ters are UPD TE_EVT and BLOCK_ LM. It should be noted that these six additional parameters must exist but do not have to be implemented.

  • Page 19: Ai Block Diagnostics

    BLOCK_ERR_DESC: Reports more specific details regard- ing some errors reported through BLOCK_ERR. The MODE_BLK parameter (within both the TB and AI Blocks) must be set to AUTO to pass the PV Value through the AI to the network. Transducer scaling, called XD_SCALE is applied to the PV from the CHANNEL to produce the FIELD_VAL in per- cent.

  • Page 20: Ai Out Display Screens

    NOTE: There are many reasons that AI block Out values can deviate from the measurement value originating in the Transducer block, and because the keypad and local display will only pro- vide access to Transducer block parameters, there is no way to change (or view) the other fieldbus configuration items affecting the AI block output using the keypad and LCD.
