Segment Checklist
There can be several reasons for a F
OUNDATION fieldbus
™
installation to be in a faulty condition. In order to ensure
that communication can be established, the following
requirements must be met.
• Device supply voltage must be higher than 9 VDC with a
maximum of 32 VDC.
• Total current draw of a given segment cannot exceed the
rating shown on the power conditioner and/or barrier.
• Device polarity must be correct.
• Two 100 Ω, 1 µF terminators must be connected to the
network—one at each end of the segment.
• Cable length plus spur length must not exceed the
following values:
• The cable shield is to be hard grounded only at one point
close to the DCS. In addition, the cable shield can be
capacitively grounded in multiple places to improve EMC
protection.
• Ensure all devices are on the “live list,” and the schedule
has been downloaded.
• Ensure that the Resource Block, then the Transducer
Block, and lastly the Function Block(s) are in“Auto” mode
rather than Out of Service (OOS).
If all of these requirements are met, stable communication
should be established.
