3.21.9 Polling for FOUNDATION fieldbus devices
When you connect the Trex unit to a FOUNDATION fieldbus device, the Field
Communicator application polls the most common addresses for a fieldbus segment. You
cannot set a specific range or a specific address. If the device is not detected, tap the My
Device Not Found option to have the Field Communicator application automatically
expand the polling range, if the Trex unit is the LAS. This option expands the following
settings:
• Polling addresses - By default, the Trex unit polls addresses 0-48 and 232-255. This
range is then expanded to include all valid fieldbus addresses.
• Slot time - The slot time is increased to enable the Trex unit to find older FOUNDATION
fieldbus devices on the fieldbus segment.
3.21.10 Set a FOUNDATION fieldbus device to be a link master or
basic device
If a device can be a Link Active Scheduler (LAS), the Link Master Configuration menu
option displays in the Service Tools menu. Select Master if you want the device to attempt
to be the LAS, or select Basic to prevent the device from becoming the LAS. After you set
the option, the Trex unit disconnects from the device.
Setting the device as a link master does not set the device as the LAS. The link master
device must follow the process to become the LAS if other link master devices are on the
fieldbus segment.
Note
You cannot change the device to be a link master or basic device when a host/linking
device is detected on the fieldbus segment. To change the device to be a link master or
basic device, use the host system or remove the device from the fieldbus segment and
connect it directly to the Trex unit.
Procedure
1. Connect to the FOUNDATION fieldbus device.
2. Tap Service Tools.
3. Tap Link Master Configuration.
