Before using a Fieldbus configuration tool other than the existing host, confirm it does not 
affect the loop functionality in which all devices are already installed. Disconnect the 
relevant control loop from the bus if necessary.
Integration of DD
If the host supports DD (Device Description), install the DD of the FVP110. Check if the 
host has the following directory under its default DD directory:
594543/0001
594543/0007 (/EE) (594543 is the manufacturer number of GE Masoneilan, and 0001 or 
0007 is the FVP110 device number, respectively.)
If this directory is not found, the DD of FVP110 has not been included:
1. Create the above directory.
2. Copy the DD file (0m0n.ffo,0m0n.sym) (m, n is a numeral) into the directory. The 
name and attribute of all parameters of the FVP110 appear.
Off-line configuration is done using the capability file (CFF). If you do not have the DD or 
capability file for the FVP110, download it from www.masoneilan.com/fld/FIELDBUS/.
CAUTION For offline configuration, use the CFF which matches the 
specification of the instrument for configuration. For FVP110, 
there are two types of CFF file; one for standard type 
instruments and the other for the instruments with /LC1 option 
in which PID function block is available. Using unmatched 
CFF will cause an error on downloads, etc.
