Foundation Fieldbus Design Specifications

Interchangeability
Interchangeability is the capability to substitute a device from one (1) manufacturer with that of an-
other manufacturer on a Fieldbus network without loss of functionality or degree of integration.
Interoperability
Interoperability is the capability for a device from one (1) manufacturer to interact with that of an-
other manufacturer on a Fieldbus network without loss of functionality.
ITK Interoperability Test Kit used for verifying interoperability of Fieldbus devices
Link A Link is the logical medium by which Fieldbus devices are interconnected. It is composed of one
(1) or more physical interconnected H1 segments. All of the devices on a link share a common
schedule which is administered by that link’s current LAS.
Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
A Link Active Scheduler (LAS) is a deterministic, centralized bus scheduler that maintains a list of
transmission times for all data buffers in all devices that need to be cyclically transmitted. Only one
(1) Link Master (LM) device on an H1 Fieldbus Link can be functioning as that link’s LAS.
Link Master (LM)
A Link Master (LM) is any device containing Link Active Scheduler (LAS) functionality that can con-
trol communications on an H1 Fieldbus Link. There must be at least one (1) LM on an H1 Link; one
of those LM devices will be elected to serve as LAS.
Resource Block (RB)
A Resource Block (RB) describes characteristics of the Fieldbus device such as the device name,
manufacturer and serial number. There is only one (1) Resource Block (RB) in a device.
Schedules
Schedules define when Function Blocks (FBs) execute and when data and status is published on
the bus.
Segment
A segment is a section of an H1 Fieldbus that is terminated in its characteristic impedance. H1
segments can be linked by Repeaters to form a longer H1 Fieldbus. Each H1segment can include
up to 32 H1 Fieldbus devices.
Spur A Spur is an H1 branch line connecting to the Trunk via Brick that is a final circuit. A Spur can vary
in length from 1 m (3.28 ft.) to 120 m (394 ft.) as specified ISA S50.02 part 2
Standard Function Block (FB)
Standard Function Blocks (FBs) are built into Fieldbus devices as needed to achieve the desired
control functionality. Automation functions provided by Standard FBs include Analog Input (AI),
Analog Output (AO) and Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID) control. The Fieldbus Foundation™
has released specifications for 21 types of Standard FBs. There can be many types of FBs in a de-
vice. The order and definition of Standard FB parameters are fixed and defined by the specifica-
tions.
System Management (SM)
System Management (SM) synchronizes execution of Function Blocks (FB) and the communication
of Function Block parameters on the Fieldbus, and handles publication of the time of day to all de-
vices, automatic assignment of device addresses, and searching for parameter names or “tags” on
the Fieldbus.

Term Definition
Terminator
A Terminator is an impedance-matching module used at or near each end of a transmission line.
Two (2) Terminators must be used on each H1 segment.
Tick Marked
Tick marked Fieldbus devices are those with validated compliance with FOUNDATION Fieldbus
specifications: ITK. The resource block contains the device approved ITK level.
Topology The segment structure; Tree, Daisy Chain, etc. are examples.
Transducer Block (TB)
A Transducer Block (TB) decouples Function Blocks (FB) from the field Input/Output (I/O) functions
required to read sensors and command output hardware. Transducer Blocks (TB) contain informa-
tion such as calibration date and sensor type. There is usually one (1) TB channel for each input or
output of a Function Block (FB).
Transmitter
A Transmitter is an active Fieldbus device containing circuitry, which applies a digital signal on the
bus.
Trunk/Home-run
A Trunk is the main communication highway between devices on an H1 Fieldbus network. The
Trunk acts as a source of main supply to Spurs on the network. A Home-run is a part of trunk cable
that is laid down between MDF in control room and 1st Fieldbus Field Junction Box (FFJB).
User Layer
The User Layer provides scheduling of Function Blocks (FB), as well as Device Descriptions (DD),
which allow the host system (DCS) to communicate with devices without the need for custom pro-
gramming.

3 Fieldbus System Overview

3-1 Project Objectives


The Process Control System for the xxxx project is based on the Open System Architecture concept コメント [KB3]: Replace by your
with Foundation Fieldbus interfacing capabilities to smart devices in the process field. project name
Key driver for this technology choice is the ability to realize an infrastructure that is ready to implement
advanced diagnostics and asset management capabilities and to prepare for preventative maintenance in
future.
Spin-off advantages could be found in reducing required system cabinets space and savings on cable
procurement, installation costs, etc., but these are not the prime drivers for the technology choice.
The specifications provided in this document are intended to all concerned parties of the project in de-
signing of the Fieldbus based system with minimum effort and risks. Understanding of typical design phi-
losophy and restrictions of the Fieldbus system will realize that the system design with Fieldbus technol-
ogy does not significantly differ from a traditional technology approach.

3-2 Overall System Configuration

3-2-1 General
A Fieldbus system refers to a control system that uses a digital, two-way, multi-drop communication
link among intelligent measurement and control devices. It serves as a Local Area Network (LAN) for ad-
vanced process control, remote I/O and high speed process automation applications. With the YOKO-
GAWA CENTUM CS3000 system, it is possible to build a Fieldbus system according to the CENTUM
CS3000 engineering standard, and to operate and monitor the Fieldbus blocks of the Fieldbus devices in
the same manner as for the traditional function blocks of the Field Control Station (FCS).
By mounting a YOKOGAWA Fieldbus Communication Module (ALF111) in the YOKOGAWA FCS, it is
possible to integrate a Fieldbus system in the following manner:

3-2-2 Integration of Control Function in FCS


A Fieldbus faceplate block is part of FCS function block library that represents a Fieldbus block of a
Fieldbus device and can be expressed on a control drawing in the same manner as the FCS function
block by the system builder function. For example, if a control loop is required to be configured with the
Fieldbus blocks, the loop consists of a FF-AI, FF-PID, and FF-AO as Fieldbus faceplate blocks on the
control drawing instead of using FCS function blocks. The use of a combination of FCS function blocks
and Fieldbus Faceplate blocks is also possible.

3-2-3 Integration of Operation and Monitoring


Fieldbus blocks of the Fieldbus devices can be operated and monitored through Fieldbus faceplate
blocks in the same way as FCS function blocks are operated and monitored.

3-2-4 Integrated Engineering function in YOKOGAWA CS3000 system


An engineering function of YOKOGAWA CS3000 system provides both function block builder and
Fieldbus builder functions as a system builder function in order to integrate the Fieldbus system functions,
such as configuration of Fieldbus H1 segments, registration of Fieldbus devices and control drawings
containing Fieldbus faceplate blocks.
In addition, a Plant Resource Manager (PRM) function is provided. This function is an asset manage-
ment system for field devices. This function is not directly related to above engineering, operation and
monitoring functions, but is a maintenance related function with long-term data storage capability. The
PRM will efficiently handle Fieldbus devices management and maintenance works, which will reduce the

4 Fieldbus System Design Guidelines

4-1 General Concept of Fieldbus System Architecture


Foundation Fieldbus system is an all-digital, serial, two-way communication protocol that interconnects
devices in the field such as sensors, actuators, and controllers. Fieldbus has also the capability to distrib-
ute control applications across its network in the field. Furthermore it enables advanced diagnostics and
asset management tools resulting in higher plant availability. A typical Fieldbus installation provides con-
nection from a network of field devices to a host system (DCS) via a two way, digital communication link.
The cabling and connections are arranged in a multi-drop fashion, requiring only a single pair wire with
parallel connections to field devices. This is quite different from the traditional approach of connecting 4 to
20mA devices to a DCS system using dedicated pairs of wires for each device.
Figure 4-1.1 shows the traditional dedicated pair approaches. Figure 4-1.2 shows a typical Fieldbus ar-
rangement.

Foundation Fieldbus Design Specifications

Each Fieldbus run from the DCS to the field is known as a H1 segment. Each segment consists of a
trunk running from the DCS through the processing plant with parallel-connected spurs linking a brick to
Fieldbus devices such as transmitters and control valves. Fieldbus Field Junction boxes (FFJB) are used
to connect multi pair trunk cable from the Fieldbus power conditioner in control room and to extend the
trunk to subsequent FFJBs and/or bricks. Bricks are used to connect to the individual spurs with field de-
vices.
A Fieldbus power conditioner module provides power to all devices on a H1 segment.

4-2 Main differences between Fieldbus and a traditional installation

4-2-1 Hardware
The difference in cabling is one of the beneficial features of Fieldbus technology. In Fieldbus, the
power and communication is provided over the same cable with some exceptions, such as, Magnetic flow
meter.
In addition, as a result of the network configuration there are less I/O cards, I/O interface racks within
DCS cabinets and marshalling cabinets required in control room or in the Remote Instrument Enclosure
(RIE). Consequently, a reduction in the footprint for the system in control room or RIE is achieved and
installation work is faster.
Also more sensors can be integrated in one (1) Fieldbus device leading to a reduction in field devices
and/or enhanced diagnostic features.

4-2-2 Communication
Fieldbus technology is tag driven, which means that the host system checks and commissions Fieldbus
devices on basis of tags in the database and with the auto addressing of the devices, a reduction in the
loop check effort can be realized. Special Fieldbus tools are available to quickly check the adequate
communication performance of the Fieldbus H1 segments.
The data transfer is fully digital signal that does not cause of degradation of the signal accuracy
through transmission. Furthermore a higher accuracy in process control can lead to less variability and
better product quality.

4-2-3 Protocol
The Fieldbus protocol enables the adequate transfer of all types of messages such as, Process Vari-
able, status, diagnostics, etc. This coupled with the ability of the DCS to convert all these basic data into
information leads to higher plant availability and reduced maintenance costs.
However, there is a need for well-trained and qualified personnel to handle the technology changes
and exploit all the advantages.

4-2-4 General Concept of Fieldbus System Engineering


The aim of this section is to provide a design concept for the basic engineering activities to follow the
Specification phase of the project, especially H1 segment design, field device selection and cabling
schedule.
The Fieldbus system design process itself is similar to the traditional system design. However, for tradi-
tional systems, the device layouts and cable schedules are used mainly for marshalling cabinet design,
and the DCS system is designed based on I/O lists and process operation procedures, irrespective of the
cable schedule or the location of the devices and junction box.
Whereas, in case of a Fieldbus based system, the field side details, i.e. H1 segment design, do affect
the DCS design. This means that the DCS design is dependant on device layout, cable detail, i.e. H1
segment design details. Therefore, at the beginning of detailed engineering in the specification phase,
design information with respect to the layout of field instrumentation and its cable routing is required.

Foundation Fieldbus Design Specifications

4-3 Fieldbus Application


The Fieldbus technology is used for regulatory process controls where the suitable Fieldbus devices
are available. The regulatory process control loops typically include the following:

„ Monitoring loops
„ Simple PID loops (Note 4-3(1))
„ Cascade loops
„ Sequence loops (batch processing & Continuous measurement used to create switching action)
„ Complex loops

Fieldbus will not be used for the following applications:

„ Protective Instrumentation System (PIS) and Fire & Gas Detection System (FGS) signals due to
safety reasons (Note 4-3(2))
„ Discrete signals, i.e. digital signals due to limited availability and lack of enhanced functionality of
such devices. (Note 4-3(3))

For this project, all PID control algorithm reside in the DCS controller (FCS) and not in the Fieldbus de- コメント [KB5]: Yokogawa Rec-

If the customer requires that PID

(Note 4-3(2)): PIS and FGS are used to prevent or mitigate hazardous events. The PIS and FGS is a plain our philosophy to the cus-
separate system. The probability of hazardous events is indicated by the SIL (Safety In- tomer agrees with our recom-
tegrity Level); SIL 0 is minimum risks and SIL 3 is high risk. The PIS and FGS should be mendation.
structured using highly reliable components. Although Fieldbus technology is highly attrac-
tive in PIS and FGS applications, the Fieldbus system has not been approved for these
applications yet. This implies that PIS/FGS applications in the project will need to apply 4-
20 mA field devices. Work is in progress to obtain Fieldbus technology approved for appli-
cations up to SIL 3. Note that for the project, HART devices operating at 4-20 mA can
multiplex HART based diagnostics signals into the plant asset management tools such as
PRM.
(Note 4-3(3)): In general, Fieldbus processing of discrete signals has two (2) drawbacks: (1) the com-
munication protocol has quite some overhead to transmit simple on/off information and (2)
the power requirement of on/off solenoids is more than standard Fieldbus power supplies
that conditioners can deliver. For these applications it is advised to consider ASI bus or
PROFIBUS DP. Only in case of monitoring discrete inputs (e.g. proximity switches) with-
out the need for local logics, a multi-points Fieldbus (MAI or MDI) approach can be con-
sidered. For the Project, Fieldbus technology for desecrate signals is not applied due to
limited availability /functionality of such devices.

4-4 Field Device Selection

4-4-1 Interoperability
The Fieldbus devices have to be fully interoperable with the host system (DCS: YOKOGAWA CENTUM
CS3000) including maximizing of the associated advanced diagnostic features fully coupled to the asset
management capabilities within YOKOGAWA PRM plant asset management system.
Based on the above objective, the following method applies for Fieldbus devices selection:

„ 1st Selection - YOKOGAWA Fieldbus devices


„ 2nd Selection - Other Fieldbus devices already tested in accordance with host system interopera-
bility support test (HIST) procedure and confirmed by YOKOGAWA as fully interoperable with the

ommendation.
In case need to consider adoption of any Fieldbus devices other than specified above in the project To reduce project risks, Yoko-
have to have the following ‘features’ available as a minimum: gawa device or tested device are
highly recommended.

problems at later work phase.

4-4-2 Fieldbus Function Blocks


The Fieldbus Function Blocks (FB) as defined by the Fieldbus Foundation is grouped into standard,
Enhanced and Additional (Fieldbus Foundation Document FF-891 and FF-892), but not all of these FB’s
are appropriate for use in Fieldbus devices, and some are not available and/or do not have interoperabil-
ity tests.
For that reason the following guideline for function block selection is made:

„ AI - Analog Input is used in all transmitters


„ AO - Analog Output is used in all valve positioners
„ PID - Proportional/Integral/Derivative (PID algorithm is in principle only executed in DCS control-
ler; FCS for the project)
„ MAI - Multiple Analog Input is only used in multi channel temperature devices for monitoring ap-
plications.

For all applied function blocks it is essential to clearly define the static parameters for monitoring and
control purpose with feasible default settings, i.e. Input filter time constants, low cut filter and Calibra-
tion/measuring range etc, in accordance with the process control philosophy and requirements of the pro-
ject. The definition of proper defaults avoids tedious additional work during application software imple-
mentation, testing and subsequent commissioning / system start-up work on site.

Foundation Fieldbus Design Specifications

The default setting parameters and data are reconfirmed during the specification phase with referring to
process application characteristic, if required.
The following parameters and data setting are specified at model selection of Fieldbus devices (i.e.
transmitter and valve positioner, etc). To specify proper parameter and data setting at order placement of
Fieldbus devices will also avoid tedious additional work during commissioning phase.

(Note 4-4-2(1)) Input signal filter function in DCS function blocks i.e. PVI and PID shall be utilized as input

4-4-3 Field Device Power


Fieldbus devices may be powered either from the H1 segment, or locally powered, depending on the
device design. Bus-powered devices typically require 12 - 30 mA of current at between 9 and 32 volts.
Some Fieldbus devices are power polarity sensitive and therefore wiring polarity has to be maintained
for all devices.
Externally powered Fieldbus devices such as 4-wire devices are specified with isolation between exter-
nal power and Fieldbus signal inputs, if applicable.
For this project, the bus-powered method is applied unless otherwise specified.

4-4-4 Link Master Devices


No Fieldbus device will be specified as the Link Master since the redundant H1 interface cards (model:
ALF111) within the DCS provide both the active and back-up LAS functionality.

plied by a single vendor.

4-5-2 Level 2 Valves and H1 Segments


Definition:
Failure of a level 2 valve will result in a shutdown of the entire unit. However, the level 2 valve’s proc-
ess dynamics allow time for quick recovery from the failure, either by quickly fixing a fault or by taking
manual control. The material and energy capacity of associated vessels, geographic location, and eleva-
tion/accessibility of such valves should be considered. The difference in level 1 and 2 valves depends on
operations ability to respond to a single failure.
Application:
Level 2 valves and their associated measurement device(s) (transmitter) shall reside on H1 segments
that are only used for control. The H1 segment may have 1 Level 2 Valve and associated Transmitter(s)
when services are independent, or 2 Level 2 Valves or a Level 2 and a Level 3 Valve and associated
Transmitters when services are dependent. Dependent means that either of the 2 valves will shut down
the same piece of equipment (example: pass flows on a fired heater).
To aid in assurance of interoperability, a single vendor shall supply the field devices and interface cards
for a Level 2 design.

4-5-3 Level 3 Valves and H1 Segments


Definition:
Failure of this valve will not result in any short-term risk of total unit shutdown or major operating losses.
Level 3 valves can go to their fail position without requiring immediate operator action.
Application:
Level 3 valves can reside on a H1 segment with up to 3 other level 3 valves, or on a H1 segment with a
level 2 valve.
Fieldbus multi channel temperature device for monitoring purpose is considered as Level 3 or 4 instru-
ments.

4-5-4 Level 4 H1 Segments: No control


Definition:
Level 4 Devices are measurement only devices that shall not be used for control and may be config-
ured in a way that could interrupt control on a H1 segment. Devices in this class contain Multiple I/O
blocks.
Application:
Level 4 Devices can reside on H1 segments with up to 12 Level 4 devices only (no control).

4-5-5 Redundant or Plural Measurement in a Closed Loop


Redundant measurements for control (i.e. measurement select) are distributed across separate H1
segments to increase measurement availability. However in case of Level-1 or Level-2 controls the appli-
cation definition of the respective control take precedence.
In case of plural measurements that require computation (i.e. differential, high/low selection) the meas-
urements are assigned on the same H1 segment.
Project Note: The above H1 segment definition and allocation rules are design guidelines. Physical lo-
cations and cable routing requirements may require exceptions to above rules in order to have a cost ef-
fective solution. These shall be discussed on a case by case basis to reach a conclusion.

4-6 Control Assignment


In general, control related functions are carried out in the DCS controller rather than the field devices.
PID for regulatory control algorithm is located in the DCS controllers.

4-7 Hazardous Area Classification


Hazardous area protections for this project are as follows;

„ FM Non incentive application: EEx (n)


EEx (n) for all devices in Group IIC Zone 2
„ Intrinsic safety application: EEx (ia)
EEx (ia) for all devices in Group IIC Zone 0 and 1 where applicable

Higher availability shall be achieved by implementing the following redundant components: guidelines applied in this country.

„ Redundant Bulk Power Supplies (24V DC) for Fieldbus Power Conditioner Modules
„ Redundant Fieldbus H1 Cards type ALF111 serving 4 H1 segments per pair of cards.
„ Redundant Fieldbus Power Conditioners modules serving 1 H1 segment per pair of power condi-
tioners. コメント [KB15]: Yokogawa
Recommendation.

4-9 H1 Segment Physical Device Loading Requirements on the H1 bus


The Fieldbus Foundation specification states that a maximum of 32 devices per H1 segment can be
connected. Up to 12 devices per a H1 segment are feasible to keep communication spare for future addi-
tion and modification of Fieldbus device diagnostics. See details in section 4-11 for Fieldbus H1 segment
communication performance.
Additionally in order to minimize the Fieldbus design effort for physical limitation check (e.g. validation)
and commissioning related problems, the numbers of devices are limited to 12 devices per H1 segment
as defined in section 4-5. This requirement is consistent with maximum loadings given with 1 second
Macrocycle time unless otherwise specified. Requirements for fast loop execution or scanning of meas-
urement (plural times scanning of measurement(s) within one (1) Macrocycle period) that conflicts with
this directive need to be discussed in specification phase.
With this limit there is no need to calculate the H1 segment load in combination with the recommended
Macrocycle of 1 second with no more than 9 transmitters and 2 closed control loops per a H1 segment as
defined in section 4-11.

4-11 H1 Segment Communication Performance

4-11-1 General
There are two important classifications of Fieldbus communication for a feasible consideration of a H1
segment communication performance; one is ‘Periodic communication’ and another is ‘Non-Periodic
communication’. The details are shown in below.

<Periodic communication>
„ Scheduled communication for control/monitoring I/O
„ Turning parameter (view 3) updates (e.g. process alarm setting points) between Fieldbus function
block of the Fieldbus device and Fieldbus faceplate block of the DCS. (Note 4-11(1), (2))
„ Fieldbus Device diagnostic data communication (e.g. transmitter capsule/body temperature, valve
open/close time etc. that are contained in transducer block of Fieldbus field devices). (Note 4-
11(3))
Note 4-11(1): Data update cycle between Fieldbus device and DCS H1 segment interface card is 4 sec-
ond as system default setting.
Note 4-11(2): This communication applies also Process valuable (PV) update from Fieldbus multi chan-
nel temperature devices to DCS since Fieldbus Multiple Analog Input (MAI) function block
of the device updates process valuable from the sensors more than one (1) second cycle.
Note 4-11(3): This communication is only required in case the diagnostic data need to be indicated on
DCS display (HIS). All static and dynamic parameters that are related with Fieldbus de-
vice diagnostics are available on PRM when manually call the related display on PRM.
PRM acquires and records the device diagnostics information without assignment of
above communication. YOKOGAWA assumed that this communication is not required in
the project.

<Non periodic communication>

„ Alarm / event communication from Fieldbus devices


„ Fieldbus Parameters communication when requested on PRM manually
„ Fieldbus Parameters set and download when requested on host system manually

4-11-2 H1 Segment Communication


30 % of Macrocycle is recommended to keep free from periodic communication in order to maximize
execution of both periodic and non-periodic communication within one (1) Macrocycle period. This design
guidance has been acquired by YOKOGAWA based on their Fieldbus installation history and experience
so far.
A H1 segment of the project principally operates with 1 second of a Macrocycle as such; the following
definitions are applied:

5 Fieldbus Application Design Guidelines

5-1 Naming Conventions

5-1-1 Node addressing convention


Each FOUNDATION fieldbus node must have a unique Node Address. The Node Address is the cur-
rent address that the segment is using for the device. Each fieldbus device shall have a unique physical
device tag and corresponding network address. Table 5-1.1 shows the available address range for the
devices.

0x15 ALF111 (right)
0x16 – (ascending) Fieldbus devices (LM class)
0xF7 – (descending) Fieldbus devices (BASIC class)

5-1-2 Physical Device tag naming convention


Each FOUNDATION fieldbus device must have a unique physical device tag. FOUNDATION fieldbus
device tag shall match the instrument tag Indicated on P&ID.
Project Note: In a CENTUM Fieldbus system, the name of Physical Device (PD) Tag can be up to 16

striction of CS3000.

5-1-3 Block naming convention


Each Fieldbus device contains a number of blocks. These blocks are necessary to describe and con-
tain the information for/from each device. Each block shall include as a suffix, information relative to the
function or block type for which it is defined. Table 5-1.2 illustrates a list of typical suffixes:

diagrams indicating all the devices on one (1) wire pair on the same drawing. When loops contain con-
ventional I/O, a traditional loop drawing is required.
The H1 segment diagram is a hardware-wiring diagram intended to show the physical connections and
layout of the segment. Soft data including display, function block, and configuration data are not shown
on the H1 segment drawing. H1 segment diagrams include the following Fieldbus system details as
minimum:

„ The title block contains the ‘H1 segment name’. The segment name indicates the “Plant / Proc-
ess unit identifier with DCS Controller Domain / Station / Node / Slot / Channel number”.
„ All connections within a H1 segment inclusive of Fieldbus Power conditioner through the field de-

tion time), dimensional data, power consumption, and other data as per the data sheet as a mini-
mum.
„ Information on how to properly install, commission and maintain the device.
„ Information on spare components required to support the Fieldbus specific aspects of a device.

6-6 H1 Segment Checkout Form


The H1 segment checkout form is used to identify the area of problem in case failed Fieldbus segment
communication (e.g. Fieldbus parameters down/up load from the host system has not complete success-
fully). The construction party mainly uses the form during site commissioning phase after cable and wiring
continuity check.
The major contents of the form are as follows.

„ Check point of general standpoint (System rev., Error messages / Download history, etc.)
„ Configurable H1 segment parameter check (Node address, PD Tag, Device rev, DD / cff rev, etc)
„ Fieldbus communication signal quality check (Noise level, Signal voltage level, Signal wave form,
etc.)
