- Why Digital Fieldbus?

Operation & Maintenance – Better accuracy

• No precision lost in D/A & A/D

 – High signal integrity• Distortions can be detected

 – More powerful diagnostics• More current for devices

 – Engineering unit• Measure to sensor limits

• No range mismatch

 – Stave off obsolescence

• Firmware download

 – Easier device troubleshooting• Remote Diagnostics

 – Validity display and loop shuts

down

 – Predictive maintenance• Diagnostics Alerts

 – Fewer Connections

Easier:Fewer Connections Fewer signal wires to disconnect and connect

when replacing devices – Electric actuator (MOV)

• Open, stop, close, ESD, overload...

 – Valve positioner

• Setpoint, feedback, limit switches... – On/Off actuator

• Setpoint, limit switches...

 – Mass flow transmitter• Mass, volume, density, temperature...

Faster, fewer mistakes Conventional:

Multiple pairs

Per device

Bus:

Single pair

Many devices

Two wires,

non evenpolarity

Easier and Safer:High Signal Integrity

Digital signal does not get "limited" – If 18 mA becomes 16 mA you won't know• Increase in resistance due to terminal corrosion

 – If 16 mA becomes 18 mA you won't know• Ground loop due to inadvertent ground connection

Digital signal distortion does not go undetected – It is not possible to tell difference between analog

signal noise and process fluctuations

Electrical noise or actual process?  Any distortionof a digital

process

variable is

alerted

Process Variable Validity

Hardwired – Device drives current

<4 mA or >20 mA on

device failure• Looks like process

problem – PID counteracts thus

tripping the loop

 – Operator cannot tell

the difference betweena process alarm and a

device alarm

Fieldbus – Device health indicated

by associated status

 – Controller holds last

position on device

failure• Shutdown is optional

 – Operator can easily

distinguish process

problem from a deviceproblem

Valve and Positioner  Actual position transmitter feedback

transmission on the same two wires – Further reduced wiring

 – No AI card

 – More than just value: status

Software limit switches

 – No DI cards – No extra wiring

Easy to add feedback as an afterthought

Bumpless transfer on local hand operation – Smoother operation

Bumpless firmware download – Upgrade while process is running, without

replacing circuit board

Continuous, real-

time, actual

position feedback

for every control
