into consideration:
• Communication of the temperature signals from the MAI FB will be performed
during the unscheduled communication period of the macrocycle and a delay
of up to four seconds may be experienced between a change in measured

Appendix-A
8.1 General
Foundation Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication protocol that
interconnects devices in the field such as sensors, actuators, and controllers.
Foundation Fieldbus has also the capability to distribute control applications
across its network in the field. Furthermore it enables advanced diagnostics and
asset management tools resulting in higher plant availability. A typical Fieldbus
installation provides connection from a network of field devices to a host system
via a two way, serial communication link. The cabling and connections are
arranged in a multi-drop fashion, requiring only a single pair wire with parallel
connections to field devices. This is quite different from the traditional approach
of connecting 4 to 20 mA devices to a DCS system using dedicated pairs of
wires for each device.
Fig. 8.1.1 (1) shows the traditional dedicated pair approach. Fig.8.1.1 (2) shows
a typical Fieldbus arrangement.

Each Fieldbus run from the host system to the field is known as a segment.
Each segment consists of a trunk or home-run running from the host system
(DCS) and out through the processing plant with parallel connected spurs linking
to field devices such as transmitters and control valves. Junction boxes are
preferred to connect the trunk to the individual spurs.
A power supply connected to the trunk provides conditioned power to all devices
on the Fieldbus segment.
8.2 Main Differences between Fieldbus & Traditional Installation
8.2.1 Hardware
The difference in cabling is one of the beneficial features of Fieldbus technology.
In FF the power and communication is provided over the same cable with some
exceptions such as Magflow meters.
In addition, as a result of the network configuration there are less I/O cards, I/O
interface racks and marshalling cabinets required both in CCR’s and in the
SRR’s.
Also more sensors can be integrated in one FF device leading to a reduction in
field devices and/or enhanced diagnostic features.
8.2.2 Communication
FF technology is tag driven, which means that the host will check and
commission devices on basis of tags in the database and with the auto
addressing of devices, a reduction in the loop check effort can be realised.
The data transfer is fully digital which eliminates the need for re-ranging and re-
calibration because of drift.
Furthermore a higher accuracy in process control can lead to less variability and
less product give away.

8.2.3 Protocol
The FF protocol enables the adequate transfer of all sorts of messages such as,
Process Variable, status, diagnostics, etc. This coupled with the ability of the
host to convert all these basic data into information leads to higher plant
availability and reduced maintenance costs.
However, there is a need for well-trained and qualified personnel to handle the
technology changes and exploit all the advantages.
8.2.4 Engineering
The Fieldbus system design process itself is similar to the traditional system
design. However, for traditional systems the device layouts and cable schedules
are used mainly for marshalling cabinet design, and the DCS system will be
designed based on I/O lists and process operation procedures, irrespective of
the cable schedule or the location of the devices and junction box.
Whereas, in case of a Fieldbus based system, the field side details, i.e. segment
design, do affect the DCS system design. This means that the DCS system
design is dependant on device layout, cable detail, i.e. segment design details.
