Foundation Fieldbus (FF) is one of the leading fieldbuses in Process Automation. Its sophisticated architecture is tailor-made for today's automation systems. Its unique set of features allows for the implementation of true distributed control. The Foundation Fieldbus includes an H1 protocol based on IEC 61158-2 physical layer specification as well as an HSE standard for communication over Ethernet/IP. These features and the possibility for distributed control make the Foundation Fieldbus unique for process control application. The main aim of this workshop is to give you a clear understanding of Foundation Fieldbus and to enable you to specify and design systems using this technology. There has been a surge of interest in Foundation Fieldbus due to the tremendous benefits it provides. This workshop aims to break down the terminology and jargon barriers and to explain Foundation Fieldbus in a simple and understandable way; thus enabling you to apply the technology effectively.

What is FieldBus?
• A smart instrument based system
• Digital data communications
• An internationally and market accepted standard to effectively
replace the ‘old’ 4-20mA standard

Real Benefits
• Greatly reduced wiring costs
• Reduced installation and start-up time
• Improved on-line monitoring and diagnostics
• Easier change-out and expansion of devices
• Improved local intelligence in the devices
• Improved interoperability between manufacturers

Competing Requirements
• A single bus system seems to be technically
possible...
but what happens if the bus fails?
• Simple field devices require simple ON/OFF
status and are real time (m.secs response)
• PLC’s to SCADA systems require large messages
and update times of 10-100 m.secs
