2.2.1 Configuration using TROVIS-VIEW software
The positioner can be configured using the TROVIS-VIEW Configuration and Operator Inter-
face software.
The positioner is equipped with an additional digital SERIAL INTERFACE to connect the RS-232
or USB port of the computer to the positioner over an adapter cable.
The TROVIS-VIEW software enables the user to easily set parameters in the positioner and view
process parameters online.
The Mounting and Operating Instructions EB 8384-5 EN contain a description on how to con-
figure and operate the positioner over TROVIS-VIEW.
2.2.2 Configuration using the NI-FBUS™ Configurator
The NI-FBUS™ Configurator from National Instruments can also be used to configure the
positioner. For this purpose, an interface card must be installed in a computer to connect it to the
F
OUNDATION™ fieldbus.
The integrated function blocks can be linked using the NI-FBUS™ Configurator.
2.3 Communication
The positioner is completely controlled over the digital signal transmission implemented accord-
ing to F
OUNDATION™ fieldbus specification.
Data are transmitted as bit-synchronous current modulation at a rate of 31.25 kbit/s over
twisted-pair cables conforming to IEC 61158-2.
Note: In the case, complex functions are started in the positioner, which require a long calcula-
tion time or lead to a large quantity of data being stored in the volatile memory of the
positioner, the alert “busy” is issued over DD.
This alert is notafaultalarmand can simply be confirmed.
