2.4 What is FOUNDATION® Fieldbus?

The Fieldbus Foundation summarizes the technology:

FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system that serves as a Local Area Network (LAN) for factory/plant instrumentation and control devices. The fieldbus environment is the base level group of the digital networks in the hierarchy of plant networks. FOUNDATION fieldbus is used in both process and manufacturing automation applications.

Unlike proprietary network protocols, FOUNDATION fieldbus is neither owned by any individual company, or regulated by a single nation or standards body. The technology is controlled by the Fieldbus Foundation, a not-for-profit organization consisting of more than 100 of the world’s leading controls and instrumentation suppliers and end users.

While FOUNDATION fieldbus retains many of the desirable features of the 4-20 mA analog system, such as a standardized physical interface, bus-powered devices, and intrinsic safety options, it offers a host of additional benefits to users.

● Device Interoperability

With interoperability, one fieldbus device can be replaced by a similar device with added functionality from a different supplier on the same fieldbus network while maintaining specified operations. This permits users to “mix and match” field devices and host systems from various suppliers. Individual fieldbus devices can also transmit and receive multivariable information, and communicate directly with each other over a common fieldbus.

2-2

● Enhanced Process Data

With FOUNDATION fieldbus, multiple variables from each device can be brought into the plant control system for archival, trend analysis, process optimization studies, and report generation. This access to accurate, high resolution data enables processes to be finetuned for better manufacturing throughout and reduced plant downtime. These efficiencies add up to higher plant performance and profitability.

● Expanded View of the Process

Modern fieldbus devices, with powerful, microprocessor-based communications capabilities, permit process errors to be recognized faster, and with greater certainty. As a result, plant operators are notified of abnormal conditions or the need for preventive maintenance, and can make better production decisions. Problems that detract from operating efficiency are more quickly corrected, enabling yields to go up while raw material costs and regulatory problems decrease.

● Improved Plant Safety

Fieldbus technology will help manufacturing plants keep up with increasingly stringent safety requirements. By providing operators with earlier notification and warning of pending and current hazardous conditions, fieldbus allows for corrective action before an unplanned shutdown. Enhanced plant diagnostic capabilities also reduce the need for frequent access to hazardous areas, thus minimizing the risks to field personnel.

● Easier Predictive Maintenance

Enhanced device diagnostics capabilities make it possible to monitor and record such conditions as valve wear and transmitter fouling. Plant personnel are able to perform predictive maintenance without waiting for a scheduled shutdown, thus avoiding or reducing downtime.

IM 21B04C50-01E

● Reduced Wiring and Installation Costs

FOUNDATION fieldbus’ use of existing wiring and multi-drop connections provides significant savings in network installation costs. This includes reductions in intrinsic safety barrier termination and cable costs, particularly in areas where wiring is already in place. Additional cost savings can be achieved through the decreased time required for construction and start-up, as well as simplified programming of control and logic functions using software control

2.4.1 Guide to a successful Foundation fieldbus installation

There are many levels of skills required for a successful Foundation fieldbus installation. It is beyond the scope of the ValveNavi software user’s manual to cover all phases of fieldbus design and installation. Prior to using the ValveNavi software the fieldbus segment must be running properly, without wiring, installation, power supply, or configuration irregularities. The YVP positioner must be mounted on a control valve. Numerous resources are available to cover each of these installation issues.

2-3

IM 21B04C50-01E

3. INSTALLATION OF HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

3.1 What you need to get started with ValveNavi

To begin using ValveNavi the following tools and software are needed.

•ValveNavi software on its installation CD-ROM

•A PC running Windows 2000 service pack 4 , XP service pack 2, or Vista service pack 1

• National Instruments AT-FBUS, PCI-FBUS or PCMCIA-FBUS interface card and NIFBUS software V. 3.0 or later, for Vista V. 3.2.1 or later

• Instruction manuals for the NI-FBUS interface card and software

• The Model YVP110 positioner installed on a valve

• The Model YVP110 User’s Manual

•A Foundation fieldbus power supply and power conditioner with terminators

3-1

• Additional fieldbus devices that will be installed on the bus segment (optional)

Before we can describe installation of ValveNavi software we must first describe the process for installing the Foundation fieldbus communications hardware and software. To help to reduce the need for terminology that used in digital communications, we will refer to an example reference process and Foundation fieldbus segment.

IM 21B04C50-01E

3.2 Reference Model Process

Throughout this manual we will use a simplified Fieldbus Reference Model Process. This is an example of a simple process (It is not a practical process) that illustrates many elements of Foundation fieldbus that are required in a successful installation.

3-2

Figure 3.1 ValveNavi Reference Model Fieldbus Segment

This User’s manual is intended to instruct the use of the ValveNavi software with a Yo k ogawa YVP valve positioner. ValveNavi may be used offline but is normally connected to a YVP positioner. Prior to using ValveNavi:

• The positioner must be correctly installed on a valve and connected to an air supply. See the YVP110 User’s Manual(IM 21B04C01-01E).

• The PC running ValveNavi must have a National Instrument AT-FBUS, PCI-FBUS or PCMCIA-FBUS interface card installed and configured in the Windows registry. Carefully follow the installation instructions provided with the interface card.

WARNING

Improper setup can interfere with process control.

• NI-FBUS communications manager software must be setup and running.

• The positioner must be assigned a fieldbus node address and a device tag. It is recommended that this be performed while the device is connected as a single device to a test segment, not while connected to an operating control segment. This will require a different configuration of the interface card.

• The entire fieldbus segment must be configured, with all required function blocks softwired and scheduled.

Wiring practices for Foundation fieldbus differs significantly from 4 to 20 mA instrument wiring. Please Refer to the Foundation Fieldbus Application Guide 31.25 kbits/s Wiring and Installation, AG-140 Revision 1.0 or later. However, a few remarks regarding wiring of the devices are included here. The positioner must be installed properly on a segment before the ValveNavi software can be used.

IM 21B04C50-01E

3.2.1 Wiring requirements

Note that there are cable requirements that must be met for reliable installations. The cable used must support the digital data signals without reflections, noise or attenuation. The type A cable should be used whenever possible and especially for long transmission distances or for segments with many branches (spurs).

● Power conditioner

Use a power conditioner for each segment. The conditioner must be foundation fieldbus compliant. The power conditioner functions to isolate the digital signals from the power source.

● Power supply

The YVP positioner complies with the foundation specification voltage requirements of 9 to 32 volts. The power supply must conform to these requirements with consideration for the current drawn by all devices powered by the segment. The YVP maximum current consumption is 17 mA.

● Terminator

Every fieldbus segment requires two (and only two) approved terminators. Terminators are passive circuits that damp signal reflections in the circuit. For simple segments having short runs and few spurs, the terminator location can be at each end of the longest cable. For very short cables both terminators can even be located in the power conditioner.

3-3

IM 21B04C50-01E

3.3 Installing NI-FBUS

ValveNavi software interfaces to the fieldbus segment through an interface card that must be installed in the PC running ValveNavi. The card is supplied with NI-FBUS installation software. ValveNavi is designed to operate only with National Instruments NI-FBUS cards, which are AT-FBUS, PCI-FBUS, or PCMCIA-FBUS.

Prior to using ValveNavi, install the NI-FBUS card and its software in accordance with the instructions provided by National Instruments, Inc. Note that the instructions are different for the AT card used in a desktop and the PCMCIA card normally used with a laptop. Furthermore, the instructions are different for Windows 2000, for Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

Note that there are two NI configuration tools that serve separate purposes:

• NI-FBUS Interface Configuration Utility- This is used to install and set up interface boards. It provides access to IRQ and memory settings needed for Windows. It provides tools for importing DD’s. It is described in the Getting Started manual supplied with the NI-FBUS interface card.

• NI-FBUS Fieldbus Configuration System- This is the tool for configuring the Foundation fieldbus network, including the devices, setting up the control strategy, and schedule. It is described in the NI-FBUS Configurator User Manual installed in the program online help. After opening the NI-FBUS Fieldbus Configuration System, click Help>>Online Help to open the manual in PDF format.

WARNING

Do not configure the interface as a Link Master when connecting to the segment with an existing host. Disruption of control may result.

3.3.1 Configure the NI-FBUS interface card safely for different tasks

The configuration of a portable PC for use with ValveNavi will vary depending on the immediate task. If ValveNavi will be used to maintain or configure a valve on an existing Foundation fieldbus segment, the PC running ValveNavi must configured carefully so it does not interfere with control communication. Two configurations are described in the following sections.

Tab le 3.1 Two configurations of the NI-FBUS Interface Card

To configure a positioner in the Foundation fieldbus segment with a host computer.

To configure a positioner in the segment without other host (Initial Setup, for example).

The NI-FBUS Interface card must be configured as a BASIC DEVICE at a Visitor address.

The NI-FBUS Interface card must be configured as a LINK MASTER DEVICE at a FIXED address (0⫻10 is recommended).

● Configuring the interface card to safely connect to the Foundation fieldbus segment with a host computer

If the YVP positioner is connected on a segment that has a host computer, the interface card and PC must be configured as a BASIC DEVICE at a Visitor address. Open the configuration utility (NI-FBUS Interface Configuration Utility) and follow the instructions in the NI manual.

Select Port and click Edit to bring up the Port dialog shown in Figure 3.2. Set the parameters exactly as shown in the figure, and click OK. (The Device Tag can be set to any name that will be meaningful when seen by a remote interface operating on the same segment.)

WARNING

ValveNavi is the tool for setup and maintenance. Do not connect it to the operating process. That may change the mode of YVP and cause unpredictable stop or events on the process. Use it only when the process is OFFLINE.

● Configure the interface card for one to one Communication

The visitor configuration described previously will not work if the only devices that are connected to the segment are YVP positioner and the NI-FBUS interface card, because there will be no link master to schedule messages. It is necessary, therefore, to configure the interface card as a link master, exactly as shown in Figure 3.3. (The interface name and Device Tag may be any convenient names. The names will not be seen by any other interfaces and are not important.)

4. ValveNavi ADMINISTRATION

In the previous chapter, we described the installation of the Foundation fieldbus communications software and hardware. In this chapter, we will describe the procedures for installing ValveNavi software.

The ValveNavi installation procedures outlined in this chapter assume a working knowledge of Microsoft Windows, the Yokogawa YVP positioner, and of Foundation fieldbus communications and function block technology. For further information about the YVP positioner, see YVP110 User’s Manual (IM 21B04C01-01E).

4.1 Hardware and Software Requirements

ValveNavi runs on a standard IBM-compatible computer. To successfully install and run ValveNavi, the computer system must meet minimum hardware and software requirements. The following lists the minimum hardware and software requirements:

•Windows 2000 service pack 4, XP service pack 2, or Vista service pack 1 operating system

•Pentium 166 MHz microprocessor or faster

4-1

• CD-ROM drive

• National Instruments NI-FBUS interface card and server software

• 500 MB of free hard disk space to install and run ValveNavi

4.2 Installing ValveNavi

ValveNavi is distributed on a CD-ROM for Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista.

1. Insert the ValveNavi installation CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Click Start > Run, then type x:setup (x is the letter of the CD-ROM drive.)

3. Follow the prompts on your screen to complete the installation process.

ValveNavi Administration and ValveNavi Help are also installed along with ValveNavi. After successful installation of ValveNavi software, the system administrator of ValveNavi should change the default logon and password and set up user accounts through the ValveNavi Administration program. Secure the ValveNavi CD-ROM in order to provide system security. Anyone with access to the setup disk could reload the software and thereby get access to YVP devices. For more details, see 4.6.

NOTE

In case of ValveNavi install folder (ex: C¥Program Files¥ValveNavi) is not writable, some functions can not be used.

4.6 Setting Up User Accounts

4.6.1 System Administration, Passwords, and Privilege Levels

In a plant with many users with various levels of training and responsibility, it is often desirable to restrict certain users access to a limited range of functions. Starting the ValveNavi program requires a valid account with a user name and a password for each user. The privilege level associated with a ValveNavi account determines which functions of the program the user is allowed to access.

The ValveNavi Administration program allows the administrator to perform all user account administrative functions to run ValveNavi and to control access to the functionality of the YVP positioner.

These administrative functions include:

• Adding new user accounts

• Deleting existing user accounts

• Changing existing user accounts

• Adjusting privilege levels

4-5

4.6.2 Start the Administration Program

After installation of ValveNavi, the ValveNavi administrator should change the default passwords, set up the initial user accounts through the Admin program, and secure the setup disk. Anyone with access to the setup disk could reload the software and thereby get access to YVP devices.

To start ValveNavi Admininistration, select Start->Program->ValveNavi->ValveNavi Admininistration. The administrative program prompts you for a logon name and password. Log in for the first time with an administrator account. Enter the default logon name (“Admin”) and leave password blank. (Note: The system is case sensitive, and you must type the default names in correct case.) Then, clicking OK to open the VFAdmin dialog (Figure 4.5).

Figure 4.5 Add Users in VFAdmin dialog

IM 21B04C50-01E

The program already contains two accounts.

• The first account is the administrator account, which you are using, with the logon name “Admin” (note that this is case sensitive with a capital A) and the initial password is blank (no password). Immediately use the administration program to install a password for administration to make the system secure from unauthorized use.

• The second account enables use of the YVP process controller simulator with the logon name of “training” (lower case) and password of “training” (lower case). The process control simulator will simulate, in software, a process with a dead time of one second and a lag of five seconds. The process controller simulator is useful for training users on the many functions and features of the YVP positioner and its PID function block.

WARNING

Do not logon with a “training” account to use ValveNavi with a valve that is not isolated from the operating process. Control links will be destroyed by using the simulate function.

CAUTION

4-6

It is important that the administrator change the default logon names and passwords for the administrator account and the training account. Continued use of the default logon account names and passwords makes the system less secure.

4.6.3 Privilege Levels

Each user is assigned an account. For each account, there is an associated privilege level. Privilege levels range from 0 to 9, with level 0 the lowest and 9 the highest. The following defines several privilege levels, which control access to specific functions of the ValveNavi program. Services which are not accessible to a particular level are “grayed” out.

Level 0

Allows the user to logon to ValveNavi only if the connected YVP is in Auto. The user can send commands that will reply with configuration, calibration, and status information, but the user cannot change any information. Level 0 users cannot go to Out Of Service or Manual.

Level 1

Allows the user access Auto, Manual or Out Of Service states. The user can transfer from one mode or state to another (i.e. the user can take the YVP out of Auto and put it in Manual). The user can then set valve position. However, the user cannot change the calibration or configuration. The level 1 user cannot access the PID dialog.

Level 2

This level is not defined.

Level 3

Allows the user to change the configuration or calibration values, but does not allow the user to perform calibration and tuning operations that stroke the valve (Find Stops, Autotune or diagnostics).

The user may open the PID dialog and use it to change PID modes and to move the valve in manual or change process variable setpoint. The user can enter tuning parameters for the process variable PID control.

IM 21B04C50-01E

Level 4

Allows the user to perform all operations except Download Configuration to YVP.

Level 5

This level is not defined.

Level 6

This level is not defined.

Level 7

This level is not defined.

Level 8

This level is intended for training and should be used cautiously. It grants all of the privileges of level 4 plus allows access to the Simulation State of the process controller. (The simulation of the PID Block allows the user to run the process controller without connecting a process variable input to the YVP and is useful for learning how to operate the process controller).

WARNING

4-7

The simulation state must not be used if the valve is connected in a control loop or the if the valve is controlling process flow.

The simulation state will permanently remove important control loop configuration information from the YVP valve positioner. The soft-wired connection between the PID functions block and its input function block must be restored after simulation is used.

Reconfigure function block links after using simulate. The Clear Device command must be used when downloading restored configuration.

Level 9

Allows access to all YVP functions. In addition, it is the only level allowed to logon to the administration program.

The administrator has an account of privilege level 9. There must be at least one user of privilege level 9 in order to get access to the administration program.

5. FOUNDATION FIELDBUS OVERVIEW

This chapter will introduce concepts that are used in most parts of the manual. It will briefly introduce Foundation Fieldbus blocks, and some of the essential block concepts. Throughout the manual we will reference a simple process example. The example is a simple heat exchanger with two control valves, and three measurement devices. The controls are configured in a cascade arrangement to illustrate concepts of transfer between modes and states of the various levels of control.

5.1 Reference Model Process Used in This User’s Manual

The heat exchanger model is shown in Figure 5.1. It is not a practical process, but incorporates elements that illustrate important features of ValveNavi. Note that each of the devices has a device tag that will be used to identify devices in ValveNavi. The process consists of a vessel with a product vapor inflow, which is condensed, and flows out as a liquid outflow. The tank level is controlled by an outflow control valve, LV 201. The tank contents are chilled by coolant water. The temperature is controlled by a temperature controller cascaded to a flow controller. The coolant flow is controlled by control valve FV

101.
