FOUNDATION Fieldbus System

Chapter

Introduction

This section explains the components of a typical FOUNDATION Fieldbus system and the integral roles that RSFieldbus configuration software and the Rockwell Automation linking devices (catalog numbers 1757-FFLD and 1757FFLDC) contribute to process control.

Through the FOUNDATION Fieldbus protocol, the 1757-FFLD and 1757-FFLDC linking devices provide connectivity for fieldbus devices to Logix controllers, such as ControlLogix and CompactLogix. The linking devices bridge RSFieldbus host to Fieldbus Foundation H1 segments for high-speed transmission of process data.

The 1757-FFLD linking device connects H1 segments to Fieldbus Foundation’s High-speed Ethernet (HSE) running over the EtherNet/IP network. The 1757-FFLDC linking device bridges from the ControlNet network to fieldbus devices on H1 segments.

Both linking devices can have either two or four H1 segments, with each segment supporting the recommended maximum 8…10 devices, and a maximum of 64 publisher and 64 subscriber VCR connections.

Fieldbus Standards

The term fieldbus refers to an all-digital, two-way communication system that connects control systems to instrumentation.

The Fieldbus Foundation organization developed the F protocol to create a fieldbus network based on the principles of the ISA and IEC standards (ISA S50.0 and IEC61158). Today, this protocol is widely accepted as the standard for pure digital communication with ‘smart’ (microprocessor-based) field devices. Devices connected by a F for sophisticated, highly-distributed process control.

OUNDATION Fieldbus technolog y has been integrated into the PlantPAx

F Process Automation System based on Rockwell Automation’s Integrated Architecture through Fieldbus Foundation linking devices (catalog numbers 1757-FFLD and 1757-FFLDC).

EtherNet/IP

EtherNet/IP and 1757-FFLD Linking Device Example

To set up communication between a controller and a linking device, you need a bridge module and Logix5000 Logix Blocks. Logix Blocks, which transfer signals between a ControlLogix environment and a fieldbus environment, have to be configured by using RSFieldbus software and RSLogix 5000 software.

RSLogix 5000 software sees the linking device as a remote chassis with a virtual backplane with up to 16 available slots. When a Logix Block is added, the linking device is recognized by RSLogix 5000 software as an analog module. Each configured Logix Block module takes one slot and is assigned a unique slot number in the chassis.

A communication module, such as catalog number 1756-ENBT, establishes the EtherNet/IP address to allow the 1757-FFLD linking device to communicate with the ControlLogix controller.

For topology, equipment, and wiring details, see the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Design Considerations Reference Manual, publication RSFBUS-RM001

ControlNet and 1757-FFLDC Linking Device Example

The ControlNet network combines the functionality of an I/O network and a peer-to-peer network, providing high-speed performance for both functions. Devices can be scheduled for deterministic transfers of important data in addition to unscheduled time intervals for non-critical information.

The 1757-FFLDC linking device has the option of being programmed for scheduled, repeatable data transmissions on the Connection tab of the Module Properties dialog box in RSLogix 5000 software. You must also run RSNetWorx software to schedule the Logix Block to the network connection.

Licensed Blocks

From the Help menu, choose About to determine how many blocks you have licensed.

The licensed block information appears below the Rockwell Software copyright.

When choosing an RSFieldbus license, keep in mind that a typical device requires a minimum of three blocks (Resource, Transducer, and process control) with an average of five blocks used. For example, a 64-block RSFieldbus license will support approximately 21 devices. Any device that requires more than three blocks will reduce the number of supported devices.

The Main window contains a counter in the lower-right corner that lets you see how many blocks you have in use.

Strategy Window

The Strategy window shows a graphic representation of the blocks, parameters, and links in a control strategy.

To open the Strategy window, you must first create a control module.

See page 48

for more information.

Function Blocks and Parameters

Functions that can be performed by a device are represented as function blocks. The set of function blocks available is dependent on the types of devices on your fieldbus network. Function blocks contain algorithms and algorithm-controlling parameters.

The standard blocks for fieldbus devices include the following:

• Analog Input (AI) • Discrete Output (DO)

• Analog Output (AO) • Proportional Derivative (PD)

• Discrete Input (DI) • Proportional Integral Derivative (PID)

You can change or set the action of a block by changing the settings of its parameters. A block parameter that is written to the bus is referred to as an output parameter. A block parameter that is receiving data is referred to as an input parameter.

Blocks are linked, or connected, inside the devices. These links let you send data from one block to the other block. Links connect blocks within the same device and blocks that are in different devices.

For more information on function blocks, see Chapter 2 in the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Design Considerations Reference Manual, publication RSFBUS-RM001

Create an RSFieldbus Software Project

Introduction

This section describes procedures for creating a fieldbus project by using the RSFieldbus configuration software.

Projects contain both a physical and logical component. The physical component contains the project hardware and the logical component contains the function blocks and algorithms that are used to control the project. Projects can be started from either component.

You must have RSFieldbus software installed on the computer that will be used as the host server.

In addition, you need all the device description (DD) and capabilities files to configure your fieldbus devices. There is a DD file for each device type provided by the manufacturer. The capabilities file, which has a .cff extension, is located within the DD files.

The table lists the main topics described in this section.

TIP

Do these steps to initiate an RSFieldbus project.

1. To start the RSFieldbus software program, choose Start>Programs>Rockwell Software>RSFieldbus>RSFieldbus.

The RSFieldbus Main window appears.

There is a choice for a demo license that lets you create a limited number of function blocks. In the non-demo mode, you must activate a license.

To check how many blocks are licensed on your system, choose About on the Help menu.

When choosing an RSFieldbus license, keep in mind that a typical device requires a minimum of three blocks (Resource, Transducer, and process control), with an average of five blocks used. For example, a 64-block RSFieldbus license will support approximately 21 devices. Any device that requires more than three blocks will reduce the number of supported devices.

2. Click the New icon and choose Project.

To open an existing project, see page 31 for procedures.

The Setup New Project Workspace dialog box appears.

3. Type a project name for the File name.

Our example shows PID. The ‘.ffp’ extension for saved projects denotes FOUNDATION Fieldbus project.

4. Click Save.

The Project Window appears.

See an example on page 30

Chapter 3 Create an RSFieldbus Software Project

IMPORTANT

Define the Server

When a new project is created, your computer is defined as the HSE host and the bridge from the RSFieldbus software to your HSE fieldbus devices. The HSE host also has been designated as the Link Master.

Do these optional steps to make sure the server path is correct to store the field device data. Otherwise, proceed to Create a New Bridge (linking device) on

page 31.

1. In the Setup New Project Workspace dialog box, double-click the file name with the .ffp extension.

In our example, it would be PID.ffp.

You cannot have two computers running RSFieldbus software with the HSE host defined locally and connected on the same network.

The Project window appears.

• Area 1 contains the process cell that contains the function block logic. This is where the logical component of the project is created.

• Fieldbus Networks is where the physical bridges and devices are found. This is where the physical component of the project is created.
