    User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus General FI5-IS Intrinsically Safe Fieldbus Interface allows you to ca- librate Intrinsically Safe FOUNDATION Fieldbus instruments. All you need is a fieldbus compatible MC5-IS and a FI5-IS suited for your fieldbus type. The MC5-IS/FI5-IS for FOUNDATION Fieldbus features listed below are presented in more detail further on in this manual.
  • Page 7: What Is Fieldbus

    User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus What is Fieldbus Fieldbus is an industrial digital communications network specif- ically designed for process automation use. It is meant to re- place the existing standard 4 … 20 mA analog signal. Fieldbus technology has been around since late 80's, but de- veloping an international standard took a long time.
  • Page 8: Batteries

    User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Batteries The rechargeable battery inside FI5-IS provides supply power to the communication between MC5-IS and FI5-IS. With fresh, fully charged batteries, FI5-IS may be used for ap- prox. 10 hours without recharging. To save batteries, discon- nect the fieldbus cables when FI5-IS is not used.

    Avoid short circuiting the batteries. The short circuit cur- rent may cause burns to you, damage to the device or even fire. The batteries may be replaced by Beamex or a Beamex authorized service only. Rechargeable batteries may vent small amounts of gas during recharge.
  • Page 14 User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Fieldbus Related Warnings When calibrating an instrument that is part of a control system (live segment), first make sure, the control loop the instrument is part of is set to manual. Also remember to check other dependencies between the instrument to be calibrated and other instruments.

    User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Service FI5-IS may only be serviced by Beamex or a Beamex author- ized service. Contact: BEAMEX OY AB Ristisuonraitti 10 FIN-68600 Pietarsaari FINLAND E-mail: service@beamex.com Internet: http://www.beamex.com Opening of the casing of FI5-IS is not allowed due to ATEX safety reasons.
  • Page 16: Terminology

    In the user interfaces and manuals of fieldbus instruments and fieldbus control system software, the second phase is called "Calibration", "Adjustment" and/or "Trimming". So, to avoid confusion Beamex uses the term "Verifying Calibration" for the comparison phases in fieldbus environment. General...
  • Page 17: Mc5-Is, Fi5-Is And Foundation Fieldbus

    MC5-IS, FI5-IS and FOUNDATION Fieldbus A FOUNDATION Fieldbus segment always has a master de- vice called Link Active Scheduler (LAS). Beamex's MC5-IS and FI5-IS are together seen as a guest device (visitor). Con- necting FI5-IS only to the fieldbus does not "awaken" LAS, but once MC5-IS is communicating with FI5-IS, the LAS should in- dicate that a guest device is part of a fieldbus segment.
  • Page 18 User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus 2. Verifying Calibration, As Found Perform the Verifying Calibration using MC5-IS/FI5-IS for FOUNDATION Fieldbus as presented in chapters further on. Verifying Calibration of fieldbus instruments is basically done as the calibration of analog and HART® instruments. The mi- nor differences that exist are due to the instrument's fully digi- tal output.
  • Page 19: Device Descriptions

    Therefore Beamex publishes special device descriptions for MC5-IS and the instruments connected to it. Please contact Beamex if you need device descriptions for new instruments. For contact info, see the first pages of this manual. The following chapters describe how available device descrip- tions can be viewed in MC5-IS and also how to add new de- vice descriptions to MC5-IS.
  • Page 20: Device Description Sender

    User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Device Description Sender Beamex offers a tool for sending device descriptions to MC5- IS. This can however be done in safe are only. Running the Device Description Sender software opens a win- dow with a list of device description data it contains.

  • Page 22: Connecting To A Foundation Fieldbus Instrument

    Beamex recommends that instruments should first be removed from a live segment before attempting to communicate with it using MC5-IS and FI5-IS. For advice on how to remove an in- strument from a live segment, see chapter Calibration Proce- dure of a Fieldbus Instrument, General on page 12.
  • Page 23: Method 1: External Supply

    User Guide – MC5-IS Fieldbus Option for FOUNDATION Fieldbus Method 1: External Supply This is a method where the instrument is not part of the process or a factory fieldbus segment. The instrument com- municates with MC5-IS as a standalone instrument. A sepa- rate power supply provides the loop power for the fieldbus "stub".
  • Page 24: Method 2: Connecting Mc5-Is To A Fieldbus Segment

    Please read chapter Notes and Warnings on page 8 before attempting to connect using this method. Beamex cannot be held responsible for any damages caused by connect- ing MC5-IS to a live factory fieldbus segment.
