Step
TIP
Be very judicious about selecting what parameters to edit. By keeping the
default values, you may use the same block type for like vendor devices used
in multiple locations in your application. You can make adjustments to
selected device parameters through Control Builder configuration access.
You can find definitions for many of the standard fieldbus function blocks in
Standard Function Block Parameters in Appendix B in this document.
Vendors also supply a text file that includes definitions for each function block
used in their device.

Adding a fieldbus device to Project
Use either method 1 or method 2 procedure that follows to add a fieldbus device from a
Library tab directory to the Project tab. This procedure assumes that Control Builder is
running and you have made block types for the fieldbus devices that will be used in your
application, using the Type command in Control Builder.
TIP
If a FIM and its associated Links exist in the Project tab, you can drag and
drop a fieldbus device type from a directory in the Library tab directly to a
Link. The following procedure adds a fieldbus device to the Project tab and
then shows how to assign it to a Link through the Assignment dialog box in
the next procedure. Once a device is assigned to a Link, it represents a
matching physical device that is to reside on the given Link.
