Device Management & Fieldbusses
This section describes how to use Device Management software for efficient
planning, operation and monitoring of field devices within the 800xA System.
As part of the Device Management PROFIBUS & HART and Device Management
FOUNDATION Fieldbus the Device Library Wizard is a required tool to create and
extend System 800xA Device Integration Libraries.
Details on the Device Library Wizard can be found in System 800xA Device
Management, Device Library Wizard (2PAA102573*).
Details on PROFIBUS and HART device configuration can be found in System
800xA Device Management, PROFIBUS and HART Configuration
(3BDD011934*).
Details on FOUNDATION Fieldbus device configuration can be found in System
800xA Device Management, FOUNDATION Fieldbus Configuration
(3BDD012902*).
Device Library Wizard
A range of pre-configured device types for System 800xA are available for the
fieldbus protocols FOUNDATION Fieldbus, PROFIBUS and HART.
The Device Library Wizard is a tool that is used for adding these separately
delivered device types to the device libraries of an 800xA system.
This section describes the process of adding these device types to an 800xA system
using Device Library Wizard.
Prerequisites
The following requirements must be met to allow adding device types to the Device
Integration Libraries of an 800xA system using the Device Library Wizard.
Before starting to work with the specific Device Management section, follow the
instructions of Device Library Wizard.
Detailed information about the Device Library Wizard and further functionality is
described in System 800xA Device Management, Device Library Wizard
(2PAA102573*).
