Changing the configuration
Separating FOUNDATION Fieldbus from PROFIBUS DP
If you want to separate the interface module for the FOUNDATION Fieldbus from PROFIBUS
DP in HW Config, observe the following:
● The bus system is orphaned with all FF devices.
● The FF devices and CiF interconnections will be retained.
● The addresses will be released.
● The interconnections between the FF and the automation system will be retained.
● This bus system is not taken into account when you compile and download the automation
system.
Changing interconnections - Impact on communication
● The FF device must be restarted when you change (device-internal) interconnections. The
FF device is not available during the restart period.
Connecting the separated FOUNDATION Fieldbus to an automation system (behind
PROFIBUS DP)
When you connect an interface module for the FOUNDATION Fieldbus, which is separated
from PROFIBUS DP, to an automation system (behind PROFIBUS DP), observe the following:
● Interconnections between the FOUNDATION Fieldbus and the automation system can be
restored.
● Address conflicts caused by interim configuration will be detected. A dialog box shows
options for resolving the address conflicts.
Deleting FF segment
When you delete an FF segment in HW Config, observe the following:
● The FF segment and all FF devices configured there will be removed.
● The interconnections with the I/O blocks of the FF Link will be removed.
4.2.3 How to assign addresses for FF device signals
You need to assign addresses to the FF device signals that you want to process further with
the automation system.
Requirements
● FF devices have been created in HW Config.
● The necessary FF device signals are known.
