Foundation Fieldbus Bridge 1.0 Description The Foundation Fieldbus Bridge is a bi-directional digital communication interface that provides data communication between the Model 700 sensors and Foundation Fieldbus enabled devices. The open, nonproprietary Foundation Fieldbus architecture provides a communications protocol for control and instrumentation systems in which each device has its' own "intelligence" and communicates via an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system.
Foundation Fieldbus Bridge 2.0 Installation The Foundation Fieldbus Bridge replaces the Transient Protection Assembly in the condulet the Model 700 sensor is attached to. The condulet and the Model 700 sensor should be mounted as prescribed in the sensor’s manual. For units that have been ordered with the Foundation Fieldbus Bridge installed, the section on installing the FF Bridge PCA can be skipped. 2.
Foundation Fieldbus Bridge 3.0 Operation When power is applied to the Foundation Fieldbus Bridge with the Model 700 sensor attached, the FF Bridge will go through a boot up sequence that will last for approximately 10 seconds. After the boot up sequence the FF Bridge will enter normal operation, and communication with the Host will begin. A green LED Labeled “Fieldbus” on the FF Bridge will illuminate when the FF Bridge is communicating with the Foundation Fieldbus Host.
