General load considerations
The following are some general load considerations to keep in mind, when you are
loading fieldbus components. In most cases, the Load Dialog box will quickly guide you
through the load operations and will alert you to potential load problems.
If you are loading . . . Then, consider this . . .
A FIM.
Be sure ALIV does not appear in the LED display
on the front of the FIM. If it does, you must first load
the FIM's personality firmware using the NTOOLS
utility supplied with Experion Engineering Tools.
A CM that contains only
fieldbus function blocks.
We recommend that CMs containing only fieldbus
function blocks be assigned and loaded to the
appropriate FIM LINK. They will only take up
unnecessary memory and execution time in the
CEE. .
A CM that contains both
Experion and fieldbus
function blocks.
Be sure CMs that contain Experion function blocks
are assigned and loaded to a CEE. Control Builder
enforces this.
A fieldbus device.
Be sure the device configuration in Project tab has
the proper PD_TAG specified. While you can load
a device to the link from Project, you cannot load
and commission a device until it is connected to the
link and its PD_TAG and address agree with those
specified in Project. Please see the next two
sections Fieldbus device states and Fieldbus
device matching rules for more information.
Fieldbus device states
A fiel
dbus device is unaware of the steps being executed to configure a network. Its
System Management Kernel (SMK) does sense the completeness of its configuration to
determine what services it can provide. The following table shows the three major states
a SMK in a field device must go through and the associated services for each state before
a device can fully function on the network.
SMK State System Management Services
Uninitialized
SM_IDENTIFY
SET_PD_TAG (Clear = False)
