Operating the field indicator
6.3 FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ technology
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ (FF) is a purely digital, serial communication system that
connects fieldbus devices (sensors, actuators), automation and process control systems with
each other. As a local communications network (LAN) for field devices the FF was primarily
designed for the requirements of process technology. The FF thus forms the basic network
throughout the hierarchy of a communication system.
Please refer to Operating Instructions BA013S/04/en "FOUNDATION Fieldbus Overview:
Installation and Commissioning Guidelines" for configuration information.

6.3.1 System architecture

The following figure shows an example of a FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ network with the
associated components.

HSE = High Speed Ethernet, H1 = FOUNDATION Fieldbus-H1
The following system connection options are possible:
–A linking device can be used to connect to higher ranking fieldbus protocols (e.g. to the High Speed
Ethernet - HSE) (Control Net)
–A H1 card is required for direct connection to a process control system.
–System inputs are available directly for H1 (HSE).
The system architecture of the FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ can be divided into two
subnetworks:

Visualization and monitoring
e. g. P View, FieldCare
and diagnostic software
High speed Ethernet
(HSE) 100 Mbit/s
