This section provides instruction on basic fieldbus functionality in the 475 Field
Communicator. It is based on the operation of the F OUNDATION Fieldbus Application version 5.0.
Procedures and instructions in this section may require special precautions to ensure the safety of the personnel performing the operation. Information that raises potential safety issues is indicated by a warning symbol ( ). Refer to the safety messages before performing an operation preceded by this symbol. Other warning messages can be found in the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
WARNING
If a segment is connected to a host system, the changes made with the 475 Field
Communicator may not be recorded in the host system’s permanent database. Verify the changes in the database. Otherwise, this could cause unpredictable results and, depending upon your application, process disruption leading to property damage, serious injury, or death. Ensure all safety precautions and work procedures have been followed.
WARNING
Changing device parameters could adversely affect the control of your process. Put the control loop in Manual/Out of Service before applying changes. Verify the output before returning the control loop to Auto. Failure to do so could result in property damage, serious injury, or death. Ensure all safety precautions and work procedures have been followed.
WARNING
The 475 Field Communicator draws approximately 12 mA from the fieldbus segment. Be sure the power supply or barrier on the fieldbus segment has the capacity to provide this additional current. If a heavily loaded fieldbus segment is drawing near the capacity of the segment’s power supply, connecting the 475 Field Communicator may result in loss of communication.

4-2 Fieldbus Functionality
BASIC FEATURES AND
FUNCTIONS
Fieldbus Application
Functionality
The Fieldbus Application lets you communicate with connected fieldbus devices, modify settings for the application, and run diagnostics. Your 475 Field Communicator must be licensed for F OUNDATION Fieldbus to run this application. See your sales representative or the Online Licensing feature in the Field Communicator Easy
Upgrade Utility to purchase this license.
Link Active Scheduler (LAS)
All segments have only one Link Active Scheduler (LAS). The LAS operates as the bus arbiter for the segment. The 475 Field Communicator is set up to always be the last node to become the LAS on a segment.
The devices that are capable of becoming the LAS are called link master devices. All other devices are referred to as basic devices. When a segment first starts up, or upon failure of the existing LAS, the link master devices on the segment bid to become the
LAS. The link master that wins the bid (the one with the lowest address) begins operating as the LAS immediately upon completion of the bidding process. Link masters that do not become the LAS can act as LAS backups by monitoring the segment for failure of the LAS and then bidding to become the LAS when a LAS failure is detected.
Although the 475 Field Communicator is capable of becoming the LAS, it does not maintain the communication schedule and should not be thought of as a backup LAS.
Only one device can communicate at a time. Permission to communicate on the bus is controlled by a centralized token passed between devices by the LAS. Only the device with the token can communicate. The LAS maintains a list of all devices that need
access to the bus. This list is called the Live Device List; see “Displaying the
Connected Fieldbus Devices” on page 4-7.
LAS Hierarchy
When a 475 Field Communicator is connected to a live fieldbus segment, it joins the fieldbus segment but not as the LAS. This means the 475 Field Communicator can view and edit device parameters, but the control of the segment is still handled by the node that is designated the LAS for the segment. You can also read and write if there is another LAS. Prior to connecting to a host system, review the 475 Field
Communicator Host System Interoperability on www.fieldcommunicator.com.

WORKING ONLINE WITH
FIELDBUS DEVICES
The online menus display data for the device to which you are connected, and they display critical, up-to-date process information, including the segment Live Device List,
Block Lists, device menus, and parameter information.
NOTE
It is normal for processes to take longer the greater the amount of scheduled communication. This is influenced by the number of devices and the control methods in place.
Connecting to a Fieldbus
Device
Connect the 475 Field Communicator by using the lead set with the appropriate connectors in parallel with the device. Due to measurement circuitry, the 475 Field
Communicator fieldbus connectors on the communication terminals are polarity sensitive. An error message appears if the lead set is connected incorrectly.
For information about Intrinsically Safe connections, see Appendix B.
NOTE
Dynamic variables shown while online represent the digital data being sent from the device.
Digital communication is susceptible to electrical noise; follow proper wiring instructions.
Fieldbus Communication Terminals
Three terminals for the lead set are on the top of the 475 Field Communicator. Each red terminal is a positive connection for its protocol. The black terminal is a common terminal shared by both protocols. An access door ensures only one pair of terminals
is exposed at any one time; see Figure 4-2. Several markings indicate which pair of
terminals is for which protocol.

Fieldbus Functionality
Block Modes
4-9
The resource, transducer, and all function blocks in the device have modes of operation. These modes govern the operation of the block. Every block supports both automatic (AUTO) and out of service (OOS) modes. Other types of modes that may also be supported are Cas, RCas, ROut, IMan and LO.
Types of Modes
For the procedures described in this manual, it is helpful to understand the following modes:
AUTO
The functions performed by the block will execute. If the block has any outputs, these will continue to update. This is typically the normal operating mode.
MAN
In this mode, the output of the block can be manually overwritten for testing purposes.
Out of Service (OOS)
The functions performed by the block will not execute. If the block has any outputs, these will typically not update and the status of any values passed to other blocks is “BAD”. Before you make changes to the configuration of the block, change the mode of the block to OOS. When the changes are complete, change the mode back to AUTO.
Mode Parameters
Mode parameters are used to change the block mode from one state to another. There are four types of mode parameters: Target, Actual, Permitted, and Normal.
The Target mode is the mode assigned to a block and is used to change a block to a desired mode.
The Actual mode is the current mode of the block.
The Permitted mode lists the modes that are allowed for a block. Setting the Permitted modes prevents unauthorized changes to the operating mode of a block. To do this, configure the Block:Mode Permitted parameter to allow only the desired operating modes. It is recommended to always select OOS as one of the Permitted modes.
The Normal mode is the mode the block should be set to during normal operation conditions.
Locate Mode Parameters
In the resource and transducer blocks, the mode parameters are normally found in the
Process menu. In all other function blocks, they are found in the Common Config
menu. The mode parameters are also included in the All parameter list; see “Device
You can view and edit the Target mode parameter by tapping the MODE button in the menus.
4-10 Fieldbus Functionality
Change Modes
Whenever you need to change the parameters or properties of a block, you need to change the mode. A warning message may appear if the mode of any block is included in a list of parameter changes to be sent to a device.
To change the block mode:
1. Tap the MODE button in the Block Menu or device menu. See Figure 4-7.
2. If prompted, select a block from the list and tap OK.
3. Remove the checkmark next to the current mode by tapping the checkbox next to it.
An asterisk (*) symbol appears next to Block Mode Target and the checkboxes are highlighted yellow to indicate the change to the Target mode has not been sent to the device. If the mode checkboxes are read-only, the block may have been set to allow only one mode.
4. Tap the checkbox next to a mode to select it as the new Target mode.
5. Tap OK.
6. When the message appears, tap YES to apply and send the change to the device, or tap NO to cancel. A Mode Change window showing the Target mode and Actual mode appears until the Actual mode changes. If the window does not disappear, the actual mode cannot be changed due to the current device state. Tap CLOSE to close the Mode Change window.

ROUBLESHOOTING
OVERVIEW
This section provides basic troubleshooting techniques for the 475 Field
Communicator.
Below are methods for troubleshooting networks that are experiencing problems communicating between a device and the 475 Field Communicator.
Troubleshooting Suggestions
Answer the questions below and use the tables in this section before calling Technical
Support personnel.
• Does the control system have HART or fieldbus communication capabilities?
• Is it configured to communicate HART or fieldbus?
• Is it reporting communication problems? If not, stop communications on the control system and re-test communication with the 475 Field Communicator.
• Is there a barrier installed?
• Is the barrier capable of passing along the signal?
HART Loops
Verify the HART loop current and voltage on the device. Almost all devices need at least 4 mA and 12V DC to operate properly.
If there are multiple devices on a multidrop loop, set the 475 Field Communicator to
Poll by Address. See “Changing the HART Polling Options” on page 3-15 for more
information on polling options.
Inspection of the loop wiring can often reveal problems. The shield is normally grounded at one end only, which is usually the control system.
Verify the loop has a minimum of 250 ohms resistance. If there is not an external resistor, then, normally, the total resistance is the resistance of the process-indicating device monitoring the loop. Check the manuals for the process-indicating device to determine its loop resistance. If the resistance of the process-indicating device is unknown, it can be determined by knowing the current flow in the loop and the voltage across the process-indicating device.
The resistance can be calculated using the formula, Resistance = Voltage / Current.
The 475 Field Communicator can be used to measure the voltage; see “DC Voltage
Measurement (HART Terminals)” on page 3-18.

5-2 Troubleshooting
Sample Values
Loop Current Flow Minimum voltage for 250 ohms.
4 mA 1 Volt
8 mA 2 Volts
12 mA 3 Volts
16 mA 4 Volts
20 mA 5 Volts
If the voltage across the process-indicating device is greater than the value listed for a given current flow, the device has at least 250 ohms of internal resistance. If the voltage is less than the value listed in the table for the given current flow, more resistance needs to be added to the loop.
If an oscilloscope is available, use it to look for noise on the loop. Use a scope with differential mode capability or a battery powered/isolated scope to avoid grounding one side of the loop. Noise with a frequency of 500 Hz to 10,000 Hz is of particular interest, as this represents frequencies near the HART frequencies of 1200 and 2200
Hz.
Troubleshooting 5-3
Table 5-1. Troubleshooting Table for the HART Protocol
Symptom Possible Causes Solution
Intermittent communication
Insufficient loop current and voltage at the device terminals.
Verify there is at least 4 mA and 12V DC at the device
Noise on the field loop.
Noise or signal distortion from the control system (i.e., noise from the power supply powering the devices or front end analog circuitry inside the control system may be distorting the HART signal.
Poor wiring.
Check wiring terminations and exposed signal wire for damage.
No communication with device.
Insufficient loop resistance at the HART frequencies.
Add an additional 250 ohm resistor in series in the loop.
Place the leads across the resistor and verify if communication has been restored.
Cannot connect to a
HART device
Insufficient loop current and voltage at the device terminals.
Device may be set to a HART address other than zero
(multidrop mode).
Change Polling mode to Poll
by Address. See “Changing the HART Polling Options” on page 3-15.
The polling address or tag may not match the device.
Verify that there is at least 4 mA and 12V DC at the device
Check the Polling Options to ensure the proper polling type is selected.
Control system is communicating HART, but the Field
Communicator is not communicating properly.
HART communication is being prevented by the control system.
Stop HART communications on the control system and verify if communication between the devices and the
475 is restored.
A HART device appears at multiple addresses.
More than one Field
Communicator or other
Secondary Master may be attached to the control loop.
The incorrect polling addresses may be used.
Ensure there is only one
Primary Master and one
Secondary Master on the control loop.

5-4 Troubleshooting
Table 5-2. Troubleshooting Table for the Fieldbus Protocol
Symptom Possible Causes Solution
No communication with device.
The Field Communicator is connected to a segment with DeltaV and the device on the same segment is being commissioned using
DeltaV.
The Field Communicator is unable to communicate with this device until you go offline and then back online.
Connected to a segment in a bench configuration and the
Live Device List remains blank (even the Field
Communicator does not appear).
This issue is caused by the speed at which certain LAS-enabled devices are attempting to run the segment.
Establish communication by putting the Field Communicator on the segment first and then adding one or more devices. By putting the Field Communicator on first, it will remain the LAS and control the communication.
Unable to change the address of a device.
The Field Communicator is unable to change the address of a device that is currently the LAS.
Establish communication by putting the Field Communicator on the segment first and then adding one or more devices. By putting the Field Communicator on first, it will remain the LAS and allow the address change.
The Field
Communicator does not remain the LAS on a segment.
A host takes over as the
LAS.
When a host is established on a segment, it will take over as the
LAS. No action is required.
A backup LAS takes over as the LAS. The lower the address and Slot Time of the device, the more likely this will occur.
See “Changing the Slot Time” on page 4-16.

Charts
C-3
Charts display a graphic view of variables as they occur over time. There are four major types of charts:
• Strip/sweep/scope - Displays variable data with an x-axis of time.
A strip chart continually updates the chart, scrolling from right to left.
A scope/sweep chart paints the window from left to right, and then paints the window from left to right again, overwriting the oldest data. A vertical line is used to separate the old an new data. When the data reaches the right edge of the screen, the data is then plotted from the left edge of the screen and the x-axis is updated.
• Horizontal bar - Displays data represented as bars from left to right.
• Vertical bar - Displays data represented as bars from bottom to top.
• Gauge - Displays a gauge chart, similar to an analog car speedometer.
NOTE
If a chart is displayed for an extended time period, the 475 Field Communicator will have decreased response time due to the large number of data points in the chart.
Strip/Sweep/Scope Charts
The strip/sweep/scope chart formats device data into a line chart that displays device data over time. The labels and axis displayed are determined by the device manufacturer. Use the drop-down list to select the variable you want to highlight. The selected variable is displayed as a bold, solid colored line. Other variables that share the same source or same Y-axis appear as thin colored lines on the chart. Variables that do not share the same axis as the selected variable appear as dashed, colored lines. The colors displayed are determined by the device description and may vary between devices.
A vertical line may be displayed in the chart to distinguish between the old and new data. The vertical line advances as new data is displayed.
For the sweep and scope charts, the pan, zoom-in, zoom-out, and reset affect only the
Y-axis.
The time shown on the x-axis starts at the time the chart starts. The chart update rate is determined by the device manufacturer. The default chart update rate is 1 second.
Figure C-3. Strip/Sweep/Scope Chart Example
