Deterministic Scheduling
• Execution of function blocks and communication is
scheduled
• Execution is deterministic
• Control is really distributed “on the wire”
• KEY feature of FOUNDATION fieldbus - it is a system,
not just a bus
• FF also includes provisions for a back-up schedule

Device Descriptions
• Device descriptions describe all the capabilities of a
Foundation Fieldbus device in a standard language
• Device description services uses device
descriptions to provide all the information from a
device to the system’s host devices
Benefits of device descriptions include:
• Operators use only one HMI, and all process data
looks and feels the same for operators
• Maintenance needs only one configurator, not a
different handheld for each device
• Device descriptions are the key to interoperability

• Provide for redundant devices; devices connect to
all network types.
• Test connectivity through all ports; devices make
independent decisions about which port to use.
• Devices share knowledge of network status.

Interoperability
Interoperability is the capability to substitute a field
device from one manufacturer for that of another
manufacturer without loss of functionality.
Interoperability offers:
• Freedom to choose the right device for an
application
• The ability of the manufacturer to add new and
useful features
• Elimination of proprietary protocols and custom
software drivers and upgrade
