motors. In this way, most of the signals that leave the driver's door are consolidated onto the two wires that form the communication bus.

– Very simply, they serve as a Local Area Network (LAN) for instrumentation

used in automatic process control and manufacturing applications.

– The LAN is a digital, bi-directional, multi-drop, serial-bus communications

network used to link field devices (often referred to as “Nodes”), such as controllers, transducers, actuators and sensors.

There are a number of different manufacturers that produce Fieldbus devices.

– Each produces different hardware interfaces, wiring and connector types,

speed, and the amount of bytes of data that can be exchanged on the network, among other things.

01/13

36 51297 Rev. 1

Section 6: Fieldbus/Bluetooth

Additionally, the current Fieldbus communications network is replacing the older 420mA Analog Signal.

– The older 4-20 mA analog signal requires each device to have its own set of

wires and its own connection points. – A Fieldbus eliminates this need as, generally, twisted pair wiring is used. – All devices on the network are now connected together.

Fairbanks Scales currently offers three different Fieldbus Devices: DeviceNet™, ControlNet™, Profibus®, and Ethernet/IP.

For more information and EDS files, see http://www.hms.se/default.shtml.

5.2. Fieldbus Connections

The term system that interconnects measurement and control equipment such as sensors, actuators and controllers.

The Fieldbus assembly connects to the 32-pin header on the FB2255 main PCB Assembly.

It is provided with two (2) standoffs which support the right side of the card.

• DEVICE NET™ (29578)

the backbone technology and defines an application layer to cover a range of device profiles.

• CONTROL NET® (31979)

– An open control network in real-time, for high-throughput applications.

• PROFIBUS® (29576)

maximum of 244 data bytes per node per cycle.

• ETHERNET/IP (29873)

5.2.2. DEVICENET (29578)

DEVICENET

is a low-cost communications link that connects industrial devices to

a network, eliminating expensive hardwiring.

– It is based on a broadcast-oriented, communications protocol the CAN. – The CAN Protocol was originally developed by BOSCH for the European

automotive market for replacing expensive wire harnesses with low-cost network cable.

– The CAN Protocol has fast response and high reliability for applications like

anti-lock brakes and air bags.

DEVICENET

also provides power to the network. This allows devices with limited

power requirements to be powered directly from the network.

– This reduces connection points and physical size. – The maximum network size is up to 64 Nodes, with message data packets up

to 8 bytes.

– Baud (Communication) Rates are selectable, and overall end-to-end network

distance varies with speed.

– The maximum standard Baud Rate is 12Mbps, with a maximum distance of

100M (328ft), and 1200M (3936 ft.) at 93.75Kbps without repeaters.

–

PROFIBUS

connects to a wide variety of field devices including the

following:

▪ Discrete and analog I/O Drives. ▪ Robots. ▪ HMI/MMI products. ▪ Pneumatic valves. ▪ Barcode readers. ▪ Weigh scales. ▪ Transducers. ▪ Flow measuring equipment.

ENDIAN

The Endianess of a module is determined by the network type, but can be changed from Little Endian to Big Endian, or vice versa by

using the

LITTLE ENDIAN FORMAT OR INTEL ORDER

In Little Endian Format, the least significant byte is stored first, followed by the next three more significant bytes.

• Address + 2 0x34

• Address + 3 0x12

BIG ENDIAN FORMAT OR MOTOROLA ORDER

In Big Endian Format, the most significant byte is stored first, followed by the next three least significant bytes.

For example, a 32bit value of BIG ENDIAN as shown below.

OUTPUT

Data from the FB2255 comprises of three (3) 32-bit words.

• Gross Weight

• Tare Weight

• A 32bit Status Word

• Gross and Tare weights can be selected as either a 32-bit Integer or a 32-bit

Floating Point Word.

• The Most significant Byte indicates the Weigh Mode for Net.

• The Next Order Byte indicates command received. (See INPUT Commands)

The next order byte indicates the weight units.

•

"l"

•

"k"

pounds

kilograms

"O"

Overcapacity,

"G"

for Gross, and

"M"

Motion of the last

"N"

•

"o"

ounces

•

"g"

grams.

The Least Significant Byte indicates the number of decimal places, if the weight output is selected to be a 32-bit Integer word.

– If a Floating point word is selected, this byte will be

“0”.

INPUT

Single Byte Commands can be sent from the network.

– Although the input is read as a 32-bit word, only the Least Significant Byte is

used in this process.

– When the command is sent and recognized, it is entered into the 32 -bit status

byte in the Least Significant Command Byte location.

– New commands can be transmitted after transmitting a

NULL

command.

4. The decimal point is returned by the scale as part of the ASCII string.

5. Interpretation of scale status digits The high order nibble of each status byte has a value of 3 (0011 B). The low order

nibble of the first and second bytes are defined as follows:

1st Byte: Bit 0 - High = scale is in motion Low = scale is stable

Bit 1 - High = scale at zero Low = scale not at zero

Bit 2 - Low = not used Bit 3 - Low = not used

2nd Byte: Bit 0 - High = scale is below zero Low = scale is not below zero

Bit 1 - High = scale is over capacity Low = scale is not over capacity

Bit 2 - High = scale ROM program failure Low = scale ROM okay

Bit 3 - High = faulty calibration data* Low = scale calibration okay

*This is the result of an incorrect checksum An example of the scale response to an "S" command would be:

The following status conditions are in effect for this response:

•scale at zero

•scale is not below zero

•scale is not over capacity

•scale ROM okay
