Registration Program3rd Party compliance testing executed by the Fieldbus Foundation– Field Devices– Fieldbus Power Suppliers/Conditioners– Couplers– Cable– Hosts

First registered product 1998Interoperability Test Kit (ITK) is only one of many tools used for product registration

Device Level Methods and Views


CommissioningCommissioningUser Experience– Download offline configuration results in errors– Multiple downloads typically resolve errors, but this

increases overall commissioning time

Analysis– Devices apply checks to maintain consistency during

download– Device expects a specific order for parameter

download– Some parameters should not be written during an

automated download


ITK 6 Profile Improves Commissioning“no_download” lists inform host which parameters should not be part of an automated download– Described in EDD– e.g. calibration parameters– e.g. vendor specific behavioral parameters

Deferral of inter-parameter checks– Disables consistency checks during automated

download– Once completed, device re-evaluates configuration – Reduces errors due to parameter order mismatch

New parameter BLOCK_ERR_DESC_n– Provides more detail to the configuration block error


MaintenanceUser Experience– Maintenance is a costly activity– Digital networks can provide information overload– Diagnostic data is represented in different forms,

making integration difficult

Analysis– Condition based monitoring can improve maintenance

management– A common structured approach across networks is

necessary to bring the right information to the right person in context.


Types of Maintenance Activities

• Performed on a healthy asset.Unnecessary maintenance

• Performed after the asset has failed.Reactive maintenance

• Performed on a regular schedulePreventive maintenance

• Schedule based on basis of failure rate and drift statistics.

Predictive maintenance

• Schedule based on built-in asset diagnostics.Proactive maintenance

• Combination of proactive maintenance along with special events (e.g. shutdown)

Opportunity based maintenance

NAMUR NE107: Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices

Diagnosis results must be reliable

Diagnosis results must always be viewed in the context of the application.

Internal diagnosis must be categorized into 4 standard “status signals”

Configuration must be free, as reactions will depend on the user's requirements

Detailed information can be read out by the device specialist

* Parameter names will have localized text labels. e.g. “Failure Alarm”


Device ReplacementUser Experience– Delivered/Replacement devices are sometimes newer

than the device used during initial configuration– Replacing devices is semi-automated

Analysis– Enhanced specifications for hosts and devices

supports automated device replacement


ITK 6 Improves Device ReplacementITK 6 Improves Device ReplacementFieldbus Foundation published an application note for suppliers to define rules for ‘Like’ device replacementNew parameter COMPATIBILITY_REV declare compatibility rulesEnables systems to use an updated device that was commissioned with a prior version device versionSimplify the 2 a.m. device replacement scenario


Device Setup and MaintenanceUser Experience– Data presentation and methods (procedures) are

restricted to blocks– Users may need interact with more than one block,

especially with complex/modular devices

Analysis– Extend EDDL technology to include device level

menus and methods– Also referred as “X-Block”

Class 61 – Integrated Host

Class 63/64 – Bench Host

Class 62 – Visitor Host


Host Profile Specification - Key FeaturesDefines five profiles

– Integrated Host– Bench Host (for use with on-process devices)– Bench Host (for use with non-commissioned devices)– Visitor Host– FOUNDATION for Safety Instrumented Functions Integrated Host

For each profile, features are marked– (M)andatory - required for system interoperability– (O)ptional - useful, but not essential– (P)rohibited - to prevent interoperability issues

Staged Implementation– Two stage profile (6Xa, 6Xb) provides time for systems to become compliant
