Technology
all digital, serial, two way
serial means you have transmission telegrams one after the other like this: two way gives you the ability for closed control loops on one bus

Technology

Dedicated Fieldbus power supplies

Bulk power supply represents a very low impedance
Much less than 50 Ohm

If this impedance will be connected directly to a fieldbus segment this will short the communication signal To avoid this, a matching impedance is required

Balanced power supply

Noise

Z/2 Z

Potential noise source: - bad wiring practices (AC cables close to + fieldbus bus cables) - Corrosion (i.e. field device flooded)

And on the physical layer?

Electrical wiring
loose wire strands, water ingress, faulty devices, EMC, etc..

Bus topology connects multiple devices

Serial communications signal One fault can effect several devices

Available tools are for conventional technology

Tools lack ability to visualize fieldbus related signals Locating the problem is difficult and time consuming (many devices in one loop; interoperability)

Commisioning

Saving time during commissioning with Fieldbus physical layer diagnostic

1200 devices are connected. Each loop has to be checked for pole-to-pole continuity and pole-to-shield isolation. Under the assumption of 1% failure rate of a manual check the appropriate MTTR has to be added. Each loop has to be calibrated. Again a failure rate of 0.5% will cause a substantial add up of MTTR.

Summary

Fieldbus is a proven technology. Users have utilized CAPEX savings in engineering, set-up and commissioning. Users will utilize OPEX savings as soon as they move to predictive maintenance concepts. Fieldbus enables users to implement completely new control and maintenance strategies. The investment into fieldbus technology guarantees long-term availability and acceptance.
