What you'll learn

  • Fundamentals of Foundation FieldBus.
  • Understanding FF Configuration & Network Topologies.
  • FF Cable Selection, Installation, wiring & termination
  • Foundation Fieldbus Segment Design & Grounding best practices

Course content

9 sections • 21 lectures • 1h 2m total length

  • Introduction10:43

    Explore the foundation fieldbus open standard, its digital bus network, distributed control, and how cross-vendor devices enable remote monitoring, reduced installation costs, and asset management.

  • Comparing FF with Conventional 4-20mA3:30

    Compare foundation fieldbus with conventional 4-20 mA, highlighting loop current proportional to pressure, voltage signal conversion, and easy, low-cost single-pair wiring versus distributed analog i/o with multiple devices.

  • Basic Concepts of FieldBus3:08

    Connects high-speed digital communication over a two-wire local area network, powering multiple devices and exchanging measurements, diagnostics, and control data. Transmits discrete digital values with error detection.

  • Introduction to Foundation FieldBus3:01

    Introduce Foundation Fieldbus as a real-time digital network connecting sensors, actuators, and controllers with two-way communication, easy startup and configuration, and access to diagnostic data for cost savings.

  • Understanding Foundation FieldBus Networks1:43

    Understand foundation fieldbus networks and their high-speed, intrinsically safe architecture for communication between controllers and field devices, with separate power and use of existing cables.

Requirements

  • This course assumes little or no prior knowledge of FOUNDATION technology, but students should be familiar with process control. Students should already be acquainted with existing 4-20mA technology found in present day installations.

Description

Foundation FieldBus installation and Wiring A to Z

What is foundation Fieldbus

Foundation Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system that serves as the base-level network in a plant or factory automation environment. It is an open architecture, developed and administered by FieldComm Group.

Foundation Fieldbus is an open standard, which allows you to use Foundation Fieldbus products from different vendors interchangeably.


COURSE DESCRIPTION

Students will become familiar with the basic concepts and new terminology related to the FOUNDATION Fieldbus integrated architecture. The technology introduces new terminology that control personnel must be confident with if they intend to be successful. Students will understand the key strategies for wiring and installation of a fieldbus network. Special emphasis will be made on such design issues as power requirements, device types and topologies
