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 at any
valid FF address through a computer.

The interface is fully compatible with all FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) devices
and is always configured as a "visitor."

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, set

device address, or troubleshoot fieldbus devices

The USB Fieldbus Interface comes with a USB cable, lead set, user's manual*,
and installation CD/DVD*. The user's manual and installation CD/DVD are not
included in the illustration.

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.

8

January 2019 User's Manual

2.3 Power modes

The USB Fieldbus Interface has 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.

In Mode 2, 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 USB Fieldbus Interface Configuration
utility. For more information, see Section 4.3.

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 USB 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.

USB driver installation should start automatically.

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.

14

Connect the fieldbus device or the unpowered segment to an external
power source (Mode 1), or provide power using the USB Fieldbus
Interface Configuration utility (Mode 2). For more information on the
power modes, see Section 2.3.

January 2019 User's Manual

Sample benchtop connectionFigure 3-3:

3.6 Connect to a live fieldbus segment

WARNING!

Do not use the Supply Power option on the USB Fieldbus Interface
Configuration utility when connecting to a live segment. Doing so can disrupt
communications and may compromise automation safety.

1. Make sure the USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to the computer and
that all software and drivers are installed.

2. Plug one end of the field lead to the fieldbus device connection socket of
the interface and connect the other end to the live fieldbus segment.

Notes

• The USB Fieldbus Interface draws current of 10 mA from the segment.

Make sure the segment has enough power and has the capacity to
provide this additional current.

• Make sure the lead set is connected to the live fieldbus segment with

the correct polarity.

• Changing the device tag/address is only allowed when the USB

fieldbus Interface is acting as Link Active Scheduler (LAS).

15

User's Manual January 2019

• When a fieldbus device is acting as a LAS, you can cycle power to the

device, or remove and replace the fieldbus device from the segment to
make the USB Fieldbus interface act as the LAS. You can check the LAS
address next to the segment info to find out which device is the LAS.

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 is required to use the USB Fieldbus Interface
with AMS Device Manager.

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.

• Cannot edit device parameters in FDT Frame Application

7.1 Fieldbus device not responding in AMS Device Manager

To configure a fieldbus device in AMS Device Manager, you must first
commission the device in the USB Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility. For
more information on commissioning a device, see Section 4.4.

Uncommissioned devices are marked in AMS Device Manager with the
(non-responding device) icon and are characterized by an empty device tag
or by the device default address.
