Step 1: Connect the computer to a FOUNDATION fieldbus digital valve controller
Figure 2-1 shows how to connect to a single instrument with a fieldbus power
hub (Relcom part number FCS-PH-110-PL, or equivalent). The power hub
provides a power supply and double terminator. Up to four devices can be
connected to the Relcom power hub. The computer with ValveLink Solo and the
NI-FBUS interface card is considered as one device. This product is used for
bench testing. It is not designed for field applications.
For more information on connecting to fieldbus instruments, see the ValveLink
software Installation Guide.
