Configuration

• Easy to configure
• Use of function blocks will make the

configuration look like the P&ID

• Use of templates
• Self Addressing
• Addressing is not necessary

Configuration

• Concerns
• Too many parameters!!!! – No need to configure all of them
• Cross reference on Tags and address for OPC database

– Not necessary! FF refers to tag only and follow a standard for tags Servername/Tag_name.parameter.Value, status

• FAT – Need all devices for FAT!!! Not necessary,

simulation and typical loops test are enough.

Configuration

• ONLINE Configuration
• Detect devices Automatically
• Address defined automatically
• Macrocycle calculated automatically
• Possibility to import templates
• Instantiate the function blocks according to your need
• Download will not interrupt other loops, even in the same

bus segment

Interoperability

• Concept

The ability to operate multiple devices from multiple manufacturers, in the same system, without loss of functionality.

• Different hosts and field devices interacting, exchanging

data and executing control, seamless interfaced.

• ITK – Interoperability Test Kit
• HIST – Host Interoperability Support Test

Interoperability

• HIST – Host Interoperability Support Test
• Profiles defined by Fieldbus Foundation
• Tests execute Mandatory, Optional and Prohibited

features

• Four Profile Classes:
• Class 61 – Integrated Host
• Class 62 – Visitor Host
• Class 63 – Bench Host (non-commissioned device)
• Class 64 – Bench Host (commissioned device)

Interoperability

• DD and EDDL

Device Descriptions

The DD file set is compounded by three files: Capability Files ( *.cff extension ) and Device Description Files ( *.sym, *.ffo extensions )
