CAUTION

Make sure that the sum of power supply voltage and fieldbus supply voltage does not exceed 60 VDC!

The FG-200 does not meet the requirements of impact protection and IP54 (according to IEC 60529). It must be installed in a protective enclosure which meets the requirements for resistance to impact and IP as stated in section 26.4 of IEC/EN 60079-0. This enclosure must be fully mounted and intact. If the enclosure is damaged, the operation is not permitted.

The FG-200 is defined as instruments and apparatus of low energy according to clause 23 of IEC/EN 60079-15; thus the requirement stated in sub-clause C, limiting the transient characteristic to 40% above the rated voltage, has to be adhered to when erecting the equipment.

When removing the packaging ensure that no dirt can enter the enclosure or the plugs. If any vibration during the operation may cause parts of the plugs to loosen, then the plugs have to be

provided with a light firm varnish used for securing screws. An extraction force of 0.5 Nm has to be achieved at an equivalent thread.

To circuits of Zone 2 only such equipment may be connected that is suitable for operation in this zone and has been certified accordingly.

Components may only be replaced by original spare parts which are also approved for the use in Exatmospheres. Spare parts are ordered as complete units giving the material number stated on the device (marking, type label).

Only such auxiliary components may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres which meet all requirements of European and national directives and legislation.

The environmental conditions specified in the manual have to be followed strictly. The FG-200 is not to be used in systems where cathodic systems for corrosion protection are in place.

Although special precautions may allow the use in such systems (additional earthing bridges), the manufacturer has to be consulted in each case.

The operator has to provide measures for protection against lightning. According to the local conditions and in compliance with the environmental rules, the operator is

responsible to visually inspect the system and to remove dust settlements in a regularly interval (every 6 months).

The company installing the device has to ensure that the transient characteristic is limited to 40% above the service voltage.

Additional precautions have to be taken, if the presence of hydrosulfide, ethylene oxide and/or carbon monoxide is to be expected: those substances are of a vary low ignition energy.

Do not power up FG-200s while the serial link is missing

If the two FG-200s forming a redundant set are powered while the serial link is missing, both devices will behave like independent, non-redundant Primary Devices. If they operated in redundant mode before and therefore have identical configuration information, both will use the same H1 node addresses, which will cause problems on the H1 links. The ERR (error) LED will blink. In this case, remove the power, install the serial link and apply the power again.

First powered device operates as primary device

When using a redundant set of two FG-200s, the device which is powered first will operate as primary device. If both devices are powered at the same time, the one with the lower IP address will operate as primary device.

Before removing the power supply from primary device make sure the secondary device is operational

In a redundant set of FG-200s, removing the power supply, the Ethernet cable or the redundancy link interface cable from the primary device causes a redundancy change-over. Before doing so, make sure that the secondary device is operational (and not still booting due to a prior change-over). Otherwise the system breaks down or the configuration information might get lost. Therefore wait at least one minute between such checks.

When using two FG-200s as a redundant set, the redundancy link interfaces (RDL) of both FG-200s (primary and secondary) must be connected by a cable, thus forming a redundancy link. If the redundancy link is not installed during start-up (power-on), the FG-200 will operate in non-redundant mode.

The maximum cable length is 0.5 m according to EMC requirements. The pin assignment is as follows:

Note

The fieldbus shield is not connected directly to functional earth. For EMC reasons, it is only connected via a capacitor. If a direct connection to functional earth or protective earth is required, you need to implement this separately.

2.8 Connecting FF-H1 interfaces

Connect the H1 links to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Since the FG-200 does not provide power to the H1 links, a power supply, a power conditioner and a bus termination is required for each H1 link. When using a redundant set of two FG-200s, make sure to connect each H1 link to the same channel (FF 1 .. FF 4) on both FG-200s.

The FG-200 provides four Foundation Fieldbus H1 interfaces. These interfaces are named CH1 to CH4 and are used to connect an FF-H1 bus to the FG-200.

2.9 Powering up the device

Hint

Refer to Use FG-200 as a redundant set and to Redundancy mode for more information on the redundancy concept.

Turn on the power supply. The boot process takes a few seconds. For indication of proper operation of a FG-200 refer to Status indicators - LEDs.

2.10 Adding a second FG-200 to form a redundant set of FG-200

To form a redundant set of FG-200, add a second device to an already commissioned FG-200 that is operating in the role "Primary, no backup" by following these steps:

Chapter 2 - Hardware installation

1. Set the IP configuration (IP address and subnet mask) of the second FG-200 in a way that it is in the

same IP subnet as the primary device (refer to Settings - Internet Protocol ).

2. Connect the H1 links to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Make sure to connect each H1 link to

the same channel (FF 1 .. FF 4) on both FG-200s.

3. Connect the second FG-200 to the Ethernet switch or hub.

4. Connect both serial ports by means of a redundancy link interface cable.

5. Connect the second FG-200 to a 24 V DC power supply. Use different or redundant power supplies for

redundant FG-200s.

6. After turning on the power supply the boot process takes approx. 50 seconds.

7. The second FG-200 will take over the configuration data from the primary device and will start

operation in the role "secondary". For indication of proper operation as a secondary device refer to

Status indicators - LEDs .

Important Note

If the FG-200 acts as a visitor host, no comConf project must be downloaded into the FG-200 and the field devices.

Working with the FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus

4.1 FG-200 acts as a Modbus / FF-H1 Gateway

Main purpose: PLC with Modbus interface accesses IO parameters of FF-H1 field devices FG-200 supports access to IO parameters of FF-H1 field devices via client/server connections (CLT/SRV

connections) and via publisher/subscriber links (PUB/SUB links). When accessing device IO parameters it is not possible to mix CLT/SRV connections and PUB/SUB links.

For the selection of the communication mode see below.

4.1.1 FG-200 acts as link active scheduler

If FG-200 acts as a link active scheduler , no other FF host system is connected to the H1 segment. For accessing field device parameters CLT/SRV connections as well as PUB/SUB links can be used. PUB/

SUB links are the standard way for accessing IO parameters in FF installations. If you want to use PUB/SUB links, you have to configure them using the configuration tool comConf. For more information see the

Configuration Communication Tool User Guide.

As there is no other FF host system you have to download the function block schedule into the field devices. You can generate the function block schedule and download it to the field devices by means of comConf.

Before you go online with the comConf update your general settings in the FG-200's web interface. Go to Configuration Settings General Settings:

If you have changed your settings click [Change Settings] to apply the new values. For more configuration details, see the Configuration Communication Tool User Guide.

4.1.2 FG-200 acts as visitor host

In this case the FG-200 is connected to an H1 segment that is controlled by another FF host system. The links between the FF field devices and the FF host system are working. The FG-200 is not allowed to disturb the operation by reconfiguring working communication paths.

The FG-200 is just allowed to use CLT/SRV connections for reading contained parameters and function block output parameters. The parameters to be read have to be configured in the Softing Configuration Communication Tool (comConf). See the comConf User Guide for more details.

Parameter settings

Make sure Enable automatic VCR Creation is activated.

Activate or deactivate Link Master Functionality depending on the following presumptions:

For this scenario we recommend configuring the Node Address within the range from 252 to 255 for

the FG-200. If you want prevent the FG-200 to take an active role in the H1 segments, deactivate Link

Master Functionality. Usually this is not required if the H1 bus parameters used in the control system

are not too slow.

If Link Master Functionality is activated make sure that all activated H1 links of the FG-200 are

connected to H1 segments with an active host system interface. Otherwise the FG-200 would wait for

a 6 minute period for activity on the H1 segments and would then disable the segments without

activity i.e. the segments without an active host interface.

4.1.3 Configuring the Modbus mapping table

The FG-200 supports the mapping of a set of function block parameters to Modbus registers. The set of available parameters depends on the type of communication (PUB/SUB links or CLT/SRV connections) used for transferring IO data.

The FG-200 selects PUB/SUB links or CLT/SRV connections depending on the downloaded comConf project.

Perform mapping on the web server application

Prerequisite: You have downloaded the comConf project.

1. Open the web browser and login.

2. Go to Configuration Fieldbus Blocks and click [Reload Live List].

3. Select Configuration Fieldbus Devices.

4. Load the .csv file with the Modbus mapping. Select Configuration Modbus Mapping Import/Export.

Click [Import] and load the file generated by comConf.

Mapped values are now accessible in the configured Modbus registers and can be accessed by a Modbus control.

4.2 FG-200 acts as a FF-HSE/ FF-H1 gateway

4.2.1 FG-200 acts as an H1 interface used by Emerson AMS System

Emerson provides its AMS Device Manager for calibration, diagnostics and device configuration for various fieldbus technologies. Using the FG-200 enables AMS Device Manager to access FF-H1 devices. As a precondition it is necessary to enable FF-HSE interface in the AMS Device Manager and integrate the FF device descriptions of the FG-200 (CFH-File) and the H1 Devices that have to be accessed.

In order to use the FG-200 the following general settings have to be done via the webserver interface:

Make sure Enable automatic VCR Creation is activated. Otherwise no access to H1 device parameters would be necessary.

Additional settings depend on the user scenario:

Offline access (Standalone network FG-200 and H1 devices)

In this scenario the FG-200 would be the primary host device and Link Master Functionality is activated. In addition we recommend disabling the Visitor Mode and setting Node Address to 16 or 17. Make sure all required H1 Links are activated i.e. a Link ID >= 0x1000 is assigned for those links.

Access in field (H1 devices are used as part of a control system)

For this scenario we recommend configuring the Node Address within the range from 252 to 255 for the FG-200. If you want prevent the FG-200 to take an active role in the H1 segments, deactivate Link Master Functionality. Usually this is not required if the H1 bus parameters used in the control system are not too slow.

If Link Master Functionality is activated make sure that all activated H1 links of the FG-200 are connected to H1 segments with an active host system interface. Otherwise the FG-200 would wait for a 6 minute period for activity on the H1 segments and would then disable the segments without activity i.e. the segments without an active host interface.

Chapter 4 - Working with the FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus

H1 Device Alarms

AMS Device Manager supports monitoring a subset of H1 device alarms. To make use of this functionality you need to enable this feature in the AMS Device Manager and to configure the FG-200 and the attached H1 devices accordingly. Note that within AMS Device Manager alarms are designated as "Alerts". Activate this setting with Enable HSE Alarms in the General Settings web page of the FG-200.

We recommend activating Visitor Mode in the General settings web page. Thus you disable the alarm configuration of H1 devices. This would prevent an impact on an existing device configuration but could lead to situations where it is not possible to receive alarms from some H1 devices. To display which devices are affected go to Configuration Fieldbus Device and search in column "Alarm configured" for the respective device.

AMS Device Manager is supporting standard Fieldbus Foundation alarm messaging using the UDP protocol, but it has an preconfigured UDP multicast address (239.255.0.33) and UDP port (45000) for the reception of the alarm messages. This is used as default in the FG-200 but could be altered if a future AMS Device Manager version would expect a different multicast address or UDP port by changing the settings in the following web page.

Note

The feature Enable automatic VCR Creation has to be activated when the tool comConf is to be used for the Foundation fieldbus configuration.

Hint

The use of the point pages creates a lot of traffic of the FF-H1 network. If you do not use this Monitor feature then you can save more H1 bandwidth and faster reaction time over Modbus.

Note

If you are using Modbus TCP, activate the option Enable Modbus only. If you are using Modbus RTU, activate both options Enable Modbus and Enable RTU.

Display Blocks

This feature enables or disables the point page functionality.

Enable HSE Alarms

The FG-200 is able to use the already configured alarm VCRs in the FF-H1 devices or can established new ones. Or it will configure the FF-H1 devices accordingly. The behavior depends whether the Visitor Mode is enabled or not.

Link Master Functionality

In case of visitor mode it can make sense to disable the Link Master functionality. If no Link Master is available on a segment connected to an activated H1 Link of the FG-200, a timeout will occur after 6 minutes to indicate this. The FG-200 will not be visible in the HSE live list during this period. To avoid this assure that a Link Master is present for all activated H1 Links or deactivate H1 Links of the FG-200.

Visitor Mode

When the FG-200 is in visitor mode it can be connected to a running FF-H1 network with the FF-Host system without affecting the established communication.

Chapter 6 - Redundancy mode

Redundancy mode

Redundancy mode is possible in all environments/use cases where the FG-200 acts as link active scheduler.

Redundancy mode is not possible when FG-200 acts as a visitor host or when the serial RS232 interface of the FG-200 is used for Modbus communication.

6.1 Redundancy concept

FOUNDATION fieldbus is a distributed control architecture that provides increased availability compared to centralized control architectures.

To improve the availability of the FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus, it is possible to combine two FG-200s which then form a redundant Linking Device:

Figure 1: System Topology A redundant Linking Device (also called "a redundant set of devices") consists of two physical Linking

Devices that are connected to the same HSE subnet and to the same H1 links. The redundant set of devices behaves like one logical Linking Device. By duplicating the physical Linking Device, it is possible to tolerate one fault in one of the two devices.

In a redundant set of devices one Linking Device acts as primary device and performs actively all communication functions, including the Link Active Scheduler (LAS) function on the H1 links. In a redundant set it is the primary device that has to be addressed by Hosts and configuration tools.

The second Linking Device, named secondary device, acts as backup device. It receives automatically the same configuration as the primary device, but uses different node addresses on the H1 links and a different IP address on HSE.

The secondary device is able to take over the function of the primary device if the primary device fails. In that case the Linking Device is reduced to a non-redundant system that is not able to tolerate any further failure. Therefore it is necessary to replace the defective device as soon as possible to recover redundancy.

The secondary device acts as Backup Link Master on each H1 link attempting to take over the LAS role if required. Additional Link Master Devices may be configured to act as Backup Link Master on the H1 links.

FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus - User Manual

The two devices forming a redundant set communicate via a redundancy link interface and via Ethernet. The serial line is used to establish a redundant set of devices, to exchange signs of life, and to control redundancy switch-over, while the Ethernet is used to transfer configuration information from the primary device to the secondary device. Therefore an operational serial communication path and an operational Ethernet path between both devices are required for proper operation.

The two physical Linking Devices forming a redundant set of devices are determined by the serial link between them. Without that serial link, both devices operate like independent, non-redundant Primary Devices.

6.2 Fault domain

Figure 2: Fault Domain The shaded area in the figure above shows the fault domain. Faults within the fault domain can be

detected and covered by the redundancy features. Those are:

permanent faults within the Linking Device - (1)

transient faults within a Linking Device that lead to loss of functions - (1)

a loss of the serial connection between the two Linking Devices - (2)

a loss of an H1 connection between the primary device and the entire H1 link; this may be caused by

disconnecting an H1 cable from the primary device - (4a) if LD1 acts as primary device; (4b) if LD2 acts

as primary device). Detecting a loss of an H1 connection between the primary device and the entire H1 link requires that at

least two H1 devices have been connected to that H1 channel of the Linking Device and have appeared in the H1 Live List before the loss of the connection occurs.

Permanent fault within the FG-200

Replacement of the detective FG-200.

Transient fault within the FG-200

Restart of the FG-200 (performed automatically).

Loss of the serial connection between the two FG-200s

Re-establishment of the serial connection.

Only one of the listed faults may be present at a time. Another fault cannot be tolerated until the redundant set has been repaired and a fully operational secondary device is available.

The following fault conditions cannot be detected and covered:

A loss of an H1 connection between the primary device and a subset of devices on an H1 link

A loss of an H1 connection between the secondary device and the entire H1 link or a subset of devices

on an H1 link. The conditions for a switch-over from the primary device to the secondary device are listed below.

Transfer from primary device to secondary device

The primary device transfers its role to the secondary device

if Host system or configuration tool request to transfer the role or the primary device detects a failure of its own Ethernet port or the primary device detects a failure on at least one H1 interface or the primary device detects a loss of the connection to all devices on an H1 link.

This requires that at least two devices have been connected to that H1 channel of the Linking Device and have appeared in the H1 Live List before the loss of the connection occurs.

The secondary device accepts the transfer

if its H1 interfaces are operational and faultless and its Ethernet port is operational and it has a valid configuration.

Take over of primary role

The secondary device takes over the primary role

if the serial connection to the primary device is lost and it acts as Link Active Scheduler on all configured H1 links and its Ethernet port is operational.

Restoring redundancy

Only one of the listed faults may be present at a time. Another fault cannot be tolerated until the redundant set has been repaired and a fully operational secondary device is available.

The required measures for repairing the redundant set of devices depend on the present fault. For an overview refer to Table 15.

FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus - User Manual

Appendix

8.1 FOUNDATION Fieldbus basics

8.1.1 Link active scheduler

The link active scheduler (LAS) is a deterministic, centralized bus scheduler that controls the communication in the H1 segment. It is responsible to maintain the live list.

8.1.2 Visitor host

A visitor host is a secondary on-process host typically used for asset management and device maintenance. The visitor host uses CLT/SRV connections only. It usually should be assigned to node addresses in the range from 252 to 255.

8.1.3 Live list

The Live list is a list of all currently active devices.

8.1.4 Publisher/subscriber links (PUB/SUB links)

Publisher/subscriber links is used for cyclic transfer of process values (input data and output data). The process value is send by a publisher. Multiple subscribers linked to the publisher are able to receive the process value.

The LAS coordinates the cyclic data transfer on base of a synchronized system time. The cyclic data transfer is synchronized with the execution of the function blocks in the field devices. The schedules for cyclic data transfer as well as for the execution of the function blocks are generated by the comConf tool.

Input data

In case of input data the input function block executed and immediately after the function block execution the new data are transmitted over the line.

Output data

In case of output data the output function block is executed immediately after the transmission of the output data.

Output function blocks detect the absence of fresh PLC output data. If the PLC does not provide fresh output data then output function blocks will switch into a fault state mode. As the PLC write accesses to the FG-200 Modbus registers are not synchronized with the cyclic data transfer in the H1 segment it is necessary that the PLC writes "oversample" the H1 macrocycle. If, for example, the macrocycle time in the H1 link is one second then it is assumed that the PLC writes fresh output data every 500 milliseconds.

8.1.5 Client/server connections (CTL/SRV connections)

Client/server connections are used for acyclic transfer between FG-200 and field devices. Acyclic data transfer is performed in the gaps between cyclic data transfer.

For client/server connections the client (FG-200) establishes and server (H1 field device) is established. Once the connection is established the FG-200 can send read and write requests to the field device. After processing the request the field device sends a read or write response to the FG-200.

In case of client/server communication the FG-200 build internal read lists with all parameters configured in the Modbus mapping table or in the point pages. The FG-200 executes this read lists periodically. The time for executing the read lists depends on various factors. As a rule of thumb you can assume that a read request and the corresponding read response will take about 100 millisecond. Thus, if you have, for example, 25 parameters in your Modbus mapping and/or in your point pages each Modbus register and point page parameter will be updated every two and a half second.

Chapter 8 - Appendix

The main time consuming factors in read request handling are the low baud rate in an H1 segment (31.25 kbit/sec) and the processing time of the read request in the H1 field device. The processing time within the FG-200 is negligible.

The FG-200 supports four H1 segments. If, enhancing the example above, 25 parameters are configured in each segment the update time of the 4 * 25 parameters will still be two and a half second.

Please consider that the execution of the FG-200 read lists is not synchronized with the periodic execution of the function blocks. Assuming the function blocks are executed one time per second and the execution of the read list takes two and a half seconds then you will get only each second or third value produced by the function block.

8.1.6 Macrocycle

Macrocycle is the period of the function block schedule and the cyclic data transfer schedule. Typical macrocycle times are 500 milliseconds, one second, two seconds and four seconds.

8.1.7 Input/output parameters (I/O parameters)

Input and output parameters are used for accessing process values (input data and output data). They are structured parameters composed of a status and a value.

IO parameters are typically transmitted via publisher/subscriber links. If no publisher/subscriber links are configured IO parameter can be read and written via client/server connection.

8.1.8 Contained parameters

Contained parameters are used for data that are not process values. Contained parameters contain status information and configuration data.

Contained parameters are read or written via client/server connections. It is not possible to transmit contained parameters via publisher/subscriber links.

8.2 Redundancy

8.2.1 Redundancy behavior

The following table provides detailed information on the redundancy behavior. This may be useful to get a correct understanding of what fault conditions can be covered and how the system recovers from those fault conditions.

In any case, the fully redundant state is obtained again when the secondary device indicates "operational" (RUN-LED flashing) and its H1 live lists are complete. In highly populated, tightly configured H1 links it may take several minutes to acquire the live lists. Before the live lists are completed, redundancy switching is possible but client server connections can only be established to H1 devices which are in the live list.

Any further error that occurs before the fully redundant state is reached may cause the system to fail.

8.2.2 Duration of redundancy switch-over

Switch-over duration PUB/SUB links

During redundancy switch-over, the activity on H1 links is interrupted. From the perspective of a single H1 device, PUB/SUB links are interrupted for a period of time that is composed of the following times:

fault detection time t fd

redundancy switching time t rs

macro cycle duration t mc The time of inactivity due to redundancy switch-over for a single process value is therefore:

time of inactivity =t fd + t rs + t mc

compared to t mc during regular operation. The fault detection time is:

t fd =800 ms if the primary device fails.

t fd =1500 ms if the Ethernet connection on the primary device is removed. The redundancy switching time is:

t rs =500 ms.

The macrocycle duration depends on the configuration and is usually in the range of 500 ms to 2 seconds.

Switch-over duration for CLT/SRV connections

In case of CLT/SRV connections the switch will take about one minute.

FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus - User Manual

If contained parameters such as BLOCK_ERR or channel are accessed, it will take about one minute until

the registers in the secondary FG-200 show the current parameter values.

8.2.3 Replace a defective FG-200 in a redundant set

For replacing a defective FG-200 in a redundant set of FG-200s, perform the following steps:

1. Identify the defective FG-200. Refer to Status indicators - LEDs .

2. Remove the power terminal block from the FG-200.

3. Remove the redundancy link interface cable and the Ethernet cable.

4. If not indicated on the cable, make a note to which channel each H1 link is connected. Then remove

the H1 terminal blocks.

5. Make sure that the new FG-200 has the same IP configuration (IP address and subnet mask) as the

replaced defective device. See Internet Protocol submenu for more information.

6. Replace the defective FG-200.

7. Plug in the H1 terminal blocks. Make sure to use the same allocation as before.

8. Connect the Ethernet cable and the redundancy link interface cable.

9. Make sure that the redundancy link interface cable is connected before plugging in the power terminal

block.

If the replaced FG-200 is powered while the serial link is missing, it will behave like an independent,

non-redundant primary device. If in this case the FG-200 has a valid (possibly unknown) configuration,

it might use H1 node addresses which are already in use on the H1 links. This will disturb or interrupt

communication and application processing on the H1 links.

10. Plug in the power terminal block. The boot process and the download of the configuration information

take about 1 minute. For indication of proper operation as a secondary device refer to Status

indicators - LEDs .
