70 Section 7: Accessories 7.2. Fieldbus Installation Fieldbus is a general term that describes an all-digital two-way communications system that interconnects measurement and control equipment such as sensors, actuators and controllers. Fieldbus traces its beginnings in the automotive industry, where efforts to simplify and reduce wiring resulted in a multiplexed Controller Area Network (CAN) system of modules installed at various points of a car For example, many cars have multiple controls on the door, such as power-window, power-mirror, power-lock and power-seat controls. To eliminate the thick bundle of wires of the older method, a driver's-door module monitors all of the switches. If the driver presses the window switch, the door module closes a relay that provides power to the window motor. If the driver presses the switch to adjust the passenger-side mirror, the driver's door module sends a packet of data onto the communication bus of the car. This packet tells a different module to energize one of the power-mirror motors. In this way, most of the signals that leave the driver's door are consolidated onto the two wires that form the communication bus. As time has progressed, many different Fieldbus types have been developed, each with different characteristics and specifications. Very simply, they serve as a Local Area Network (LAN) for instrumentation used in automatic process control and manufacturing applications. The LAN is a digital, bi-directional, multi-drop, serial-bus communications network used to link field devices (often referred to as Nodes ), such as controllers, transducers, actuators and sensors. There are a number of different manufacturers that produce Fieldbus devices. Each produces different hardware interfaces, wiring and connector types, speed, and the amount of bytes of data that can be exchanged on the network, among other things. Additionally, the current Fieldbus communications network is replacing the older 4-20mA Analog Signal. The older 4-20 ma analog signal requires each device to have its own set of wires and its own connection points. A Fieldbus eliminates this need as, generally, twisted pair wiring is used. All devices on the network are now connected together. Fairbanks Scales currently offers three different Fieldbus Devices: DeviceNet, ControlNet, Profibus, and Ethernet/IP. For more information and EDS files, see 03/ Rev. 12

71 Section 7: Accessories 7.3. Fieldbus Connections The term FIELDBUS usually describes an all-digital two-way communications system that interconnects measurement and control equipment such as sensors, actuators and controllers OVERVIEW OF TERMS There are currently three (3) different of Fieldbus Interfaces listed as standard accessories for the FB2550 Instrument. DEVICE NET A network system to interconnect control devices for data exchange. It uses a differential serial bus, called Controller Area Network (CAN), as the backbone technology and defines an application layer to cover a range of device profiles. CONTROL NET An open control network in real-time, for high-throughput applications. PROFIBUS Non-powered two-wire (RS485) network, with up to 126 nodes, transferring a maximum of 244 data bytes per node per cycle. ETHERNET/IP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used for address requests. The data is transmitted continuously from this module. The IP address may be made static by downloading the IP Configuration Tool Software. ETHERNET/IP can be easily confused as a simple combination of EtherNet and the Internet Protocol. Instead, it is an Industrial Application Layer Protocol used for communication between industrial control systems and their components. Such components include Programmable Automation Controller, Logic Controller, or an I/O System. The IP in EtherNet/IP is not an abbreviation for Internet Protocol, but instead, it stands for Industrial Protocol. 03/ Rev. 12

72 Section 7: Accessories DEVICENET (29578) DEVICENET is a low-cost communications link that connects industrial devices to a network, eliminating expensive hardwiring. It is based on a broadcast-oriented, communications protocol the CAN. The CAN Protocol was originally developed by BOSCH for the European automotive market for replacing expensive wire harnesses with low-cost network cable. The CAN Protocol has fast response and high reliability for applications like anti-lock brakes and air bags. DEVICENET also provides power to the network. This allows devices with limited power requirements to be powered directly from the network. This reduces connection points and physical size. The maximum network size is up to 64 Nodes, with message data packets up to 8 bytes.

76 Section 7: Accessories PROFIBUS (29576) PROFIBUS is one of the best-known industrial fieldbus protocols from Europe. It is an established standard, used in a wide range of applications as a multi-application communications link for industrial devices. The ProfiBus protocol was originally developed by a committee founded by the German government. PROFIBUS utilizes a non-powered two-wire (RS-485) Network. A ProfiBus Network may have up to 126 nodes, transferring a maximum of 244 bytes data per node/ per cycle. Baud (Communication) Rates are selectable, and overall end-to-end network distance varies with speed. The maximum standard Baud Rate is 12Mbps, with a maximum distance of 100M (328ft), and 1200M (3936 ft.) at 93.75Kbps without repeaters. PROFIBUS connects to a wide variety of field devices including the following: Discrete and analog I/O Drives. Robots. HMI/MMI products. Pneumatic valves. Barcode readers. Weigh scales. Transducers. Flow measuring equipment.
