2 USB Fieldbus Interface
Topics covered in this chapter:
• Overview
• Parts and function
• Power modes
2.1 Overview
The USB Fieldbus Interface enables two-way communication between a
computer and fieldbus devices. Its primary function is to allow the setup,
configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices through a
computer.
The interface is fully compatible with all FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) devices
and is always configured as a "visitor."
Features
Compliant with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications
Works with standard USB cables
Can detect a Link Active Scheduler (LAS) and will take over as a LAS if it is not present on the
segment
Can be connected to any fieldbus segment containing a FOUNDATION fieldbus device
Has software support for both Device Descriptors (DDs) and FDT Device Type Managers
(DTMs)
It is particularly useful in these plant scenarios:
• Workbench setup and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices
• With a laptop in the field to configure, commission, decommission, or
troubleshoot fieldbus devices

Scenarios
Normal scenarios
The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to an externally
powered segment and is able to communicate.
The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power to a fieldbus
segment and is able to communicate.
Other scenarios
The USB Fieldbus Interface is not connected to a powered
computer.
-OR-
The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to a computer but
the computer power is off.
-OR-
The USB FF HSE Server is not running on the connected
computer.
The USB Fieldbus Interface is not connected to a powered
segment.
-OR-
The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to a powered
segment with the wrong polarity.
The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected normally to a
powered segment but the USB FF HSE Server is not running.
The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power but a short
circuit has been detected on the field connection.
The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power and
connected to an already powered fieldbus segment with
reverse polarity.
The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power to a fieldbus
segment and the load on that segment has exceeded its
limit.

Page 9
May 2014 User's Manual
2.3 Power modes
The USB Fieldbus Interface is capable of working in two power modes:
• Mode 1 - The interface does not supply power to the connected fieldbus
device or segment. The fieldbus device or segment is powered by an
external source.
Mode 1 is the default.
• Mode 2 - The interface powers the connected fieldbus device or segment
and no external power is needed.
The interface is capable of powering multiple devices on a fieldbus
segment through an external USB hub. It can provide current of up to 85
mA (typically sufficient for three or four fieldbus devices on the same
segment).
You can configure Mode 2 using the Fieldbus Interface Configuration
utility. For more information, see Section 4.2.
WARNING!
Choose only one power mode. Never attempt to use two power sources at the same time. Doing so
can disrupt communications and may compromise automation safety.

3.5 Setup and connection
Note
Install the Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility first before setting up and connecting the USB
Fieldbus Interface. For more information, see Section 3.2
1. Connect the USB Fieldbus Interface to the computer using the USB cable
provided.
Driver installation should start automatically.
If automatic driver installation fails, you need to manually install drivers.
For instructions, see Appendix D.
2.
Connect the interface to a fieldbus device or to a fieldbus segment using
the field leads.
WARNING!
Do not proceed to the next step if you are connecting to a live (powered) segment. Providing
additional power source to an already powered segment can disrupt communications and may
compromise automation safety.
3. Power the connected fieldbus device or segment.
Connect the fieldbus device or the unpowered segment to an external
power source (Mode 1), or provide power using the Fieldbus Interface
Configuration utility (Mode 2). For more information on the power
modes, see Section 2.3.

5 Using with AMS Device Manager
Topics covered in this chapter:
• Add a network component in AMS Device Manager
• Configure fieldbus devices in AMS Device Manager
AMS Device Manager provides a single application for predictive diagnostics,
documentation, calibration management, and device configuration. Using
AMS Device Manager gives you better visibility into the assets in your plant,
resulting in faster startup and increased availability through more costeffective maintenance and improved asset performance.
Contact your Emerson Sales/Support representative for more information on
AMS Device Manager.
5.1 Add a network component in AMS Device Manager
An FF HSE network component has to be present in order to use the USB
Fieldbus Interface with AMS Device Manager.
24
Notes
• If there is an existing FF HSE network configured for another fieldbus device, you do not need
to add a new FF HSE network component.
• You must have an updated license file that includes an HSE license. The HSE license enables
you to add an FF HSE network component in AMS Device Manager.
If you do not yet have an HSE license, contact your Emerson sales representative and place an
order for part number AW7060HSE.

Topics covered in this chapter:
• Fieldbus device not responding in AMS Device Manager
• Fieldbus device not detected in Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility
• Cannot edit device parameters in FDT Frame Application
7.1 Fieldbus device not responding in AMS Device Manager
In order to configure a fieldbus device in AMS Device Manager, you must first
commission the device in the Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility. For
more information on commissioning a device, see Section 4.3.
Uncommissioned devices are seen in AMS Device Manager as having the
(non-responding device) icon and are characterized by an empty device tag
or by the device default address.

Click OK and check for the following:
• Make sure the fieldbus device or segment is powered either by an external
source or by the USB Fieldbus Interface. For more information, see
Section 2.3.
• Make sure drivers are installed and that the hardware is ready for use.
If automatic driver installation fails, install drivers manually. For more
information, see Appendix D.
• Check that there are no loose connections and that the USB cable does not
exceed 2 meters in length.
• Make sure the USB FF HSE Server is running.

• Check the Node ID in PACTware and the Device Address in the Fieldbus
Interface Configuration utility. The Node ID and Device Address should
match. You may need to manually enter the Node ID in PACTware. For
more information on entering the Node ID, see Section 6.3.
• Update the DTM library. If a new DTM is added, you may need to update
the DTM library. For more information, see Section 6.2.
• Check physical connections. Make sure all devices are properly connected
