Configuring Fieldbus Components In a Control
Strategy
About control strategy configuration
You use the Control Builder application to configure a process Control Strategy using
predefined function blocks. Since Fieldbus Foundation components have been
functionally integrated with the Experion system, the Control Builder includes fieldbus
related Function Blocks for easy integration of fieldbus functions within the overall
Control Strategy.
The Control Builder includes a New->Type command on the File menu. The Type
command lets you create block types for fieldbus devices based on the vendor supplied
Design Description (DD). This means each fieldbus device has an associated block type
for viewing and defining the configurable attributes of its fieldbus function blocks. These
attributes include naming and identifying the component's location within the network as
well as setting device and channel specific parameters, as applicable.
ATTENTION
The following information is only intended as a supplement to the Control
Building Guide and does not repeat the basic functionality details for calling
up, navigating, and interacting with the application. Also, be aware that
menus selections, tree views, and configuration forms may vary depending
upon the licensed options installed on your system.
Please refer to the previous section Before You Start for general control
building data references.
Example Application and Control Strategy for Procedural Reference
The following figure shows a process feed and recycle line application being controlled
through an Experion control strategy loaded in a Control Process Module (CPM) and
associated Control Execution Environment (CEE). This sample application and control
strategy will be used for reference to illustrate the applicability of functions in the
following procedures
