FIELDBUS TUTORIALTM A FOUNDATION Fieldbus Technology OverviewFieldbus - the future today.TM FOUNDATION Fieldbus is the technological evolution to digitalcommunication in instrumentation and process control. It differs fromany other communication protocol, because it is designed to resolveprocess control applications instead of just transfer data in a digitalmode. The Fieldbus technology is explained along this overview so youcan check its advantages, feel its power and go a little further usingfieldbus as an outstanding and reliable technology into your controlsystem.TM FOUNDATION Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communicationsystem, which interconnects “field” equipment such as sensors, actuatorsand controllers. Fieldbus is a Local Area Network (LAN) for instrumentsused in both process and manufacturing automation with built-incapability to distribute the control application across the network.Plant NetworkHierarchy.Smar has already hundreds of fieldbus control systems installedworldwide. They make use of a full set of products and value-addedsoftware. Their highlights are the variety of field devices and the LC700TM programmable logical controller with FOUNDATION Fieldbus module,enabling the association of the discrete and the analog worlds.The control strategy is distributed along the field devices. It is possiblebecause, besides having function blocks in their microprocessors, theyhave also ability to communicating fast and ...
