This presentation will show how Foundation Fieldbus meets the requirements of the NeSSI network of STANDARD interfaces while providing the functionality required using technology available TODAY. What is required is the commitment from manufacturers to develop the H1 chip in a suitable form factor and for the End Users to help define the parameters they want to standardize for reporting of the system operations.
We will now show how each of the communication layers use standard technology available today.

4. Fieldbus H1: Connecting the Sensors
Can be used in all Area Classifications and environments
Intrinsically Safe
Full immersion, Dust,…
Bi-directional communications
Supports Discrete (on/off) and Analog signals
Power supplied on cable
Single wire pair to each device
Proven technology for more than 10 years in the field
Global support

5. Fieldbus H1 Capabilities (cont)
Control in the Field
No central controller required for regulatory control
Deterministic
Execute at specific time
Acyclic (without taking system off line)
Maintenance information
Alarms
Configuration changes
Control
Information AI
PID AO

7. Available H1 Sensors

8. High Speed Ethernet (HSE)
Controller Level communications protocol based on Standard Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) Ethernet
100 MBps normal bandwidth
Encapsulates ALL the functionality of Foundation Fieldbus H1 protocol
No conversion of data required means full integration in a single control environment
Linking Device used to “bridge” from H1 to HSE

11. Control in the Field
When developing HSE the Flexible Function Block (FFB) was also created
Two Flavors
Multiple I/O – 8 signals sent as one packet
Flexible – FULLY user configurable and programmable using IEC standard languages
FFB can be programmed by End User or Manufacturer to perform ANY calculation they wish

12. Flexible Function Block Uses
Protocol Conversion
Logic solving
If this condition respond in this way
Batch recipes
Based on time (i.e. reference signal at 07:00 every day)
Advanced Control applications
“Portable” to other systems

13. SAM – Sensor Actuator Manager
Separate Functionality of SAM across more than one Physical Devices
Those functions that cannot be handled by the Linking Device are few leaving “traditional” SAM to serve as an HMI only
Vendor independent HMI possible
OPC to connect with any other system
Full integration with Distributed Control System
