Emerson S-series 4-port Foundatio Fieldbus I/O

Emerson S-series 4-port Foundatio Fieldbus I/O

If you want an efficient, economical, and secure process control

system, use DeltaV™ Foundation™ fieldbus I/O. It greatly enhances

device diagnostics that affect your control strategy and alerts

operators to device malfunctions.

Foundation fieldbus I/O modular design offers flexibility during

installation. It’s designed to be installed in the field, close to

your devices. Foundation fieldbus is equipped with function

and field-wiring protection keys to ensure that the correct

I/O card is always plugged into the corresponding terminal

block. Modularity, protection keys, and increased input/output

capacity make Foundation fieldbus I/O a smart choice for your

process control system.

Benefits

Increase I/O capacity while reducing wiring.

Use Foundation fieldbus I/O instead of Classic I/O to increase

the I/O density and quality of information of your field devices.

Take advantage of Foundation fieldbus digital communications

to access additional information from your smart devices. Get

more information over one wire with up to 16 Ff devices per H1

segment, and 4 segments per card for up to 64 devices per

H1 card.

Maximize smart device capabilities. Increase your quality and

throughput by taking advantage of the added diagnostics of

Foundation fieldbus I/O devices. Field device status is updated

continuously using Foundation fieldbus I/O. For multi-variable

devices, all process variables are available on the single fieldbus

at the cost of a single Device Signal Tag.

Redundant 4-port H1 cards provide increased availability.

The DeltaV system offers redundant 4-port H1 interfaces.

The two 4-port H1 interfaces are connected with a redundant

terminal block to provide back-up link active schedule (LAS)

capability that also maintains communication with the host

system. Transfer to the standby card is automatic and requires

no special configuration. Ongoing diagnostics ensure the

standby 4-port H1 card is available on demand. This process

requires no user interaction.

Product Description

The Foundation fieldbus S-series 4-port H1 card supports four

Ff H1 segments, each supporting up to 16 Ff devices. Each

segment runs an independent scheduler that controls the order

of execution of each function block configured on the segment.

DeltaV control modules provide a function block structure that

defines the order of execution of each block on the segment,

making it easy for each loop to be sequenced for efficient

loop execution.

Each field device commissioned on the segment consumes

a single DST license and provides access to all its I/O data,

including diagnostic parameters. This greatly increases the

value of multi variable transmitters as wel

The Foundation fieldbus 4-port H1 interface is packaged in a

very small form factor enclosure and installs on any I/O slot of

the S-series horizontal carriers. The interface uses a separate

terminal block to which the segment wires are connected.

A single interface is used with the 1 wide terminal block in a

simplex installation. Two 4-port H1 interfaces can be mounted

in adjacent slots using the 2-wide redundant terminal block.

The DeltaV controller recognizes the presence of redundancy

and presents both cards as a single pair within the system.

There is no additional user configuration required to set up the

redundant H1 hosts.

Segment Power must be provided by using third party Ff

power supplies, wich can also provide segment physical layer

diagnostics.The H1 interface segment wires connect to these

power supplies, while a separate segment trunk wire connects

to the field devices.

The S-series 4-port H1 interface provides local LED indicators to

assist in trouble shooting:

„ 4 Yellow LED’s: One per port Indicating the port is enabled

and communicating with devices

„ Fault LED: Indicates internal fault with the H1 card

„ Power LED: Indicates available LocalBus power

The 4-port Fieldbus I/O Card meets ISA G3 corrosion

specifications by using superior electronic components and

conformal coating.

One of the most powerful features of Foundation fieldbus

devices is their diagnostic data. Using AMS Device Manager,

you can access all of the necessary information to configure,

commission, monitor, and troubleshoot all your Foundation

fieldbus smart devices. Improved device diagnostics can lead to

increased product quality and minimize unplanned downtime.

Improve the productivity and profitability of your process

control system with Foundation fieldbus.

Fieldbus devices not manufactured by Emerson Process

Management divisions are categorized as third-party devices.

The DeltaV system provides third-party device support for

devices that have successfully passed rigorous testing by

Emerson Process Management and are registered by the

Fieldbus Foundation. This allows you to benefit from the open

fieldbus architecture when selecting field devices.
