11. 1111 Successful Implementation & Improved Operation
Assigning the I/O
Foundation fieldbus devices are recognized by three
mechanisms: a traditional node address for communication, a
human readable device tag corresponding to the project P&I
diagram, and a unique identifier allowing the system to
automatically resolve any tag or address conflicts.
The system automatically assigns the address to all devices,
avoiding human errors such as address duplication associated
with manually managed protocols, and saving time.
Therefore technicians work based on tag and need not be
concerned with address.
Thanks to the unique identifier, multiple devices can be
connected and commissioned at the same time.
It is plug-'n'-play.

Why Foundation Fieldbus
The global process industry loses $20
billion, or five percent of annual production,
due to unscheduled downtime and poor
quality.
ARC estimates that almost 80 percent of
these losses are preventable, with 40 percent
largely due to operator error.

Collaboration with NAMUR
Using the power of FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and
considering NAMUR requirements, the new standard
diagnostic profile aim to:
– Standardize the integration of diagnostic information
– Guarantee valuable information to the user
18. 1818 Successful Implementation & Improved Operation
Diagnosis results must be reliable
Diagnosis results must always be viewed in
the context of the application.
Internal diagnosis must be categorized into 4
standard “status signals”
Configuration must be free, as reactions will
depend on the user's requirements

Need for diagnostics
• Field study by installation and commissioning
Engineers around the world shows that more
than 80% of the plant disturbances come from
the physical layer level be it conventional
4-20mA applications or Fieldbus applications.
• Unless the engineers sufficiently trained for
Fieldbus applications the most common
mistakes are made at the physical layer level
such as wiring faults, wrong termination etc.

Conclusion
– Advanced Diagnostics tools for for physical layer
reduced physical layer commissiong time and
provided online monitoring and reporting system that
saves CAPEX and OPEX
– Most problems at early bus installations were due to poor installation.
However, simple, user-friendly, Fieldbus testers are now available,
allowing the installation crew to easily check the wiring, and the device
commissioning crew to check network operation, spotting any problems
early
– Many contractors and Technicians are trained and are skilled in Fieldbus
installation and commissioning, and have the test equipment and in-
house procedures to ensure reliable operation
