Complete Device Integration via Fieldbus

Simplifying Plant Automation

All field devices connect to the host system via FOUNDATION fieldbus™ H1. This fieldbus transmits data with high
accuracy and power via a single two-wire cable to up to 31 devices per segment. FieldConnex® provides the
infrastructure: power supplies, installation equipment and accessories for a reliable connection between any field
device and the Yokogawa CENTUM system. The entire installation is continuously monitored by the Advanced
Diagnostic Module integrated in the FieldConnex power supply.

Integration of the ADM in PRM

Monitoring the physical layer is now an integral part of PRM.
And configuration of the ADM is just as easy.

Physical layer in plain sight without the configuration hassle

Now physical layer diagnostics is integrated into the intuitive look and feel of PRM.
Operators and maintenance personnel can get to the right information at the right
time, enabling proactive responses to system messages.

Automated configuration
Software tools read PRM‘s plant engineering data and automatically generate the
configuration for the ADM. The physical layer of the fieldbus as presented by the
ADM now appears as a managable asset in PRM.

Continuous monitoring
The system is now set up for online physical layer diagnostics. From commission-
ing and online monitoring to review and interpretation by maintenance teams,
everything is ready to get the plant started and keep it online. Historian and integrated
oscillosopes are included for in-depth analysis of your fieldbus segments.

Actionable information
The ADM is now fully integrated into PRM. Plant personnel find Operator Guide Message
and Maintenance Guidance Message in the usual places. The FieldConnex® Diagnostic
Manager is only one mouse click away, providing details to the segment in question with
actionable information: data on potential problems and possible remedies.
