Course Outline
- Review and further explanation of concepts and terminology
related to FF technology
- FF concepts necessary to write clear explanations of
design
- Practical design considerations for wiring and installing
an FF network including Intrinsically Safe systems.
- Impact of power requirements, topology, redundancy, and
FF specific wiring practices
- Equipment requirements for desired segment implementation
- Basic communication mechanisms and related concepts
- Control strategies, loop times, and device types available
for target segments
- Impact of configuration on communication mechanisms and
control schemes
- FF Function Blocks and non-specified Custom Blocks
- Registration of blocks and related support materials
- Blocks are required for desired control schemes, as well
as limitations that may exist.
- Application of FF Device Description and capabilities
file technology
- Concepts of mode, status, links, alarms, and trends
- Impact of features on control strategy
- Key host features
- Impact of interpretations on H1 device usage
- View demonstration using actual fieldbus instruments
- Demonstration of installation, design, configuration,
and download of H1 devices and loops
- Demonstration of special features and benefits of fieldbus
Background and Prerequisites
The course assumes completion of the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Overview
course. Review of the Fieldbus Inc. Fieldbus Primer would
help prepare and provide background for some of the concepts
covered.
- Trainers are FOUNDATION fieldbus experts (minimum 10
years of Fieldbus experience)
- Small Class size (limited to 6 students)
- Trainers have field experience and process control backgrounds
