Function

The FieldConnex® Fieldbus Diagnostic Handheld FDH‑1 is a comprehensive measurement and commissioning tool. The handheld can be
connected to any point of a segment. Via display and push buttons, FDH‑1 guides the user through many scenarios of testing. FDH‑1 can record
and store data for up to 32 segments with maximum device count without requiring a connection to a PC.
FDH‑1 supports inexperienced and expert users alike through different operating modes. Failure margin checks and device coupler tests help set
up the optimum condition of the fieldbus infrastructure and find weak spots in the installation. The expert system and wizards enable easy
handling and require little or no training. FDH‑1 supports multiple languages that can be downloaded onto the handheld.
FDH‑1 Manager Software Premium can operate the handheld with enhanced visualization. The software loads data from FDH‑1 and saves data
back, to allow for comparisons between actual and planned physical layer attributes.

Additional Information

Functional Overview of FDH-1

Pre-commissioning FDH-1 checks:

– Installed cables for fieldbus suitability

Segment commissioning and
troubleshooting

Release date: 2021-01-12 Date of issue: 2021-01-12 Filename: 250382_eng.pdf

– Insulation levels and ground faults

The commissioning wizard with automated segment check procedures reports and stores
comprehensive physical layer measurements. The wizard detects or measures, e. g.:

– Physical layer attributes and compares actual setup against planned setup
– Over- and undertermination

Commissioning reports can be uploaded for backup, storage, and documentation.

External oscilloscope can be triggered on fieldbus-specific events via separate output.

Fieldbus Diagnostic Handheld

FDH-1

Expert system An expert system interprets the raw physical layer measurement data. The system

translates the data into easy-to-follow messages that describe causes of faults and
suggest steps for corrective actions.

Device coupler output test Function for testing short circuit current limitation for device coupler outputs and measuring

the maximum current.

Failure Margin Test Function for testing the resistance of each node against adverse signal quality. FDH-1

alters signal level, noise and jitter to determine the maximum levels at which
communication still operates.

Online monitoring Connection to any part of the segment including intrinsically safe circuits is possible for

quick checks during operation.

FDH-1 automatically creates a live list with address, tag, manufacturer, and device type.

Data storage and history Upload of history recordings to FDH-1 Manager software enables comparison at a later

time for best practices in plant upkeep. (Premium edition only)

Supported measurements
(selection)

– Ground faults and unbalance
– Signal level
–Jitter
