Foundation Field bus, H1 is an all-digital,

serial, two-way communication system with

Speed of 31.25 Kbits /S

Two Types of FF Devices: Bus-Powered 32 Devices Devices take power from Bus Require 10-30 mA of current between 9 and 32 volts. Non Bus-Powered 16 Devices Devices take Power over Separate Wires

Field Bus Signalling

15

 The transmitting device delivers 10 mA at 31.25 kbit/s into a 50 ohm equivalent load to create a 1.0 volt peak-to-peak voltage modulated on top of the direct current (DC) supply voltage. The DC supply voltage can range from 9 to 32 volts. However, for Intrinsically Safe (I.S.) applications, the allowed power supply 16 voltage depends on the barrier rating

Total Trunk Length Repeaters ( Max) Segments ( Max) Max Spur Length

= 1900 m =4 =5 = 120 m

Using Repeaters for 5 Segments, Max Total Cable length = 9500 m

Reducing Noise
Each fieldbus segment must have exactly two terminators. Terminators located in the field should be installed in a junction box;

20

A terminator is used to prevent reflection at the ends of a field bus cable.This reflection is a form of noise that distorts the signal.

21

Lightning/Surge Protection

Surge suppression shall consist of lowcapacitance silicon avalanche diodes or spark gaps, wired for both normal- and common-mode protection, connected to the electrical safety ground grid.

22

Field bus Cable Specifications

All cables shall be single or multiple twisted pair with an individual shield for each pair. Multi-pair cables shall have an 23 additional overall shield.

Single Pair Field Bus Cable

Total Cable Length

25

 The total length includes the trunk and all spurs.

26

Barriers

27

Galvanic Isolator
Maintains safety by having high integrity isolation that prevents the transmission of electrical surges or overloads from the safe to the hazardous area

28

29

Safety barrier may also function as a Repeater

30

Intrinsic Safety Barriers

Category Ex-ia : Suitable for all zones, especially Zone 0. Category Ex-ib : Suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2.

33

FISCO - Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept

More power more devices Higher voltage longer cable Used in Zone 0 100 mA (ia, IIC) ~8 devices/barrier (ia, IIC) 1,000 m ( ia ) 5,000 m ( ib )
34

35

FNICO
Fieldbus Non-Incendive Concept It is only applicable to Zone 2 (Division 2). FNICO puts the current limitation on the trunk without any further limitations on the spur.

Flame Proof Enclosure

Flameproof Ex d is one way of installing in hazardous areas, but this method is at a disadvantage in field bus, because it is necessary to power down the entire network to service one device.

39

Power Supply Impedance Module PSI302

Requires an Input Voltage of 20-35 VDC Is Redundant, Load Sharing and Output Current Limited Provides Impedance Matching Connects Maximum 4 channels per module The power supply impedance has built in functionality for automatic and bumpless switch over from a main to a backup
40

Power Supply Impedance Module

41

 A power supply impedance module prevents short circuit of communication signal by the power supply. The power supply impedance also regulates the power supply voltage.

If ordinary power supply is used it will absorb signals on the cable, as it will try to maintain a constant voltage level.
