Compliance
FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference Compliance
Determining FCC Class
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only)
or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products.
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the
Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.) Digital
electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products.
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired
operation. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.
Consult the FCC Web site at
FCC/DOC Warnings
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions
in this manual and the CE marking Declaration of Conformity*, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department of
Communications (DOC).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by NI could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the FCC
Rules.
Class A
Federal Communications Commission
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference
at their own expense.
www.fcc.gov for more information.
Canadian Department of Communications
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
Compliance to EU Directives
Readers in the European Union (EU) must refer to the manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for information*
pertaining to the CE marking compliance scheme. The manufacturer includes a DoC for most hardware products except for those
bought from OEMs. In addition, DoCs are usually not provided if compliance is not required, for example electrically benign
apparatus or cables.
To obtain the DoC for this product, click Declarations of Conformity Information at
lists the DoCs by product family. Select the appropriate product family, followed by your product, and a link to the DoC appears
in Adobe Acrobat format. Click the Acrobat icon to download or read the DoC.
* The CE marking Declaration of Conformity contains important supplementary information and instructions for the user or
installer.

Overview of FBUS-HSE/H1
Linking Device (LD) Hardware
This chapter provides an overview of the FBUS-HSE/H1 Linking Device
(LD) hardware.
Product Overview
High Speed Ethernet (HSE) is an extension to the Foundation Fieldbus
specification and is governed by the Foundation Fieldbus organization.
HSE compliments the Foundation Fieldbus H1 network (31.25 kb/s)
specification by offering a high speed (10 Mb/s) link to H1 segments.
Built on standard Ethernet, HSE extrapolates the Fieldbus protocol and
offers controllers the ability to schedule and control H1 devices directly
over Ethernet.
An FBUS-HSE/H1 system consists of at least one linking device connected
to an Ethernet network and at least one H1 device.
1
The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD connects a 10 Mbps Ethernet network to Fieldbus
H1 devices. Each H1 network can be connected to multiple Fieldbus
devices. Each FBUS-HSE/H1 can support two H1 segments, and each
segment can support up to 16 H1 field devices (without repeaters). Because
the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is an HSE linking device, your network topology
determines the maximum number of FBUS-HSE/H1 LDs that can be
installed on your Ethernet network.
The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD connects directly to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
The FBUS-HSE/H1 autodetects the speed of the Ethernet connection and
configures itself accordingly.

In a distributed application, many Fieldbus H1 segments are networked
together using HSE LDs. With Ethernet, you can use an unlimited number
of Fieldbus H1 segments. Depending on the Ethernet topology, an
unlimited number of host computers can access each bank from any
distance.
Configuration and Monitoring
The LD permits the NI-FBUS Configurator, installed on any Ethernet
networked computer, to configure H1 Fieldbus devices through an
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD as if the configurator were directly connected to the
H1 Fieldbus network.
The NI-FBUS Configurator, by way of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD,
transparently generates configuration and device-parameter information
about all H1 Fieldbus devices connected to the linking device.
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD User Manual 1-2 ni.com
Once configured, the linking device permits HMI software on any PC
connected to an FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to access and monitor Fieldbus devices
as if the HMI were directly connected to the Fieldbus network.
System Requirements
This section describes the hardware and software components you need
before you can use the linking device. You also should review the
README.TXT file on the linking device setup disk for the latest information.

Compatibility Information
The linking device is compatible with IEEE 802.3, the Fieldbus Foundation
specification, and the Fieldbus Foundation HSE specification.
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Hardware Description
The linking device is designed to be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail and has
one Ethernet port. The Ethernet status LEDs on the front of the linking
device display the current status of Ethernet link.
The linking device has two separate H1 Fieldbus ports. Next to each port is
an LED to display the current port status.
The STATUS LED indicates whether the linking device is powered on and
operating properly.
For more information on connecting and configuring the linking device,
refer to Chapter 2, Hardware Installation and Configuration.
