6.4 Commissioning FOUNDATION FIELDBUS units
For units with a FOUNDATION fieldbus, the settings of the DIP switch must be checked prior to
commissioning.
The DIP switches on the unit must be set correctly as follows:
• DIP switch 1 must be OFF.
• DIP switch 2 must be OFF.
Otherwise, the hardware write protection and the process control system prevent the unit from
recording information.
When integrating the unit in a process control system, a DD file (device description) and a CFF
file (common file format) are required. The DD file contains the device description. The CFF file
is required for segment engineering. Engineering can be performed online or offline.
The DD and CFF files are available to download from the ABB homepage
http://www.abb.com/flow.
The FOUNDATION fieldbus interface for the unit is compliant with the standards FF-890/891
and FF-902/90. The transmission signal of the transmitter is designed in accordance with IEC
61158-2.
The device is registered with the FOUNDATION fieldbus.
Registration for the FOUNDATION fieldbus is recorded under Manufacturer ID 0x000320 and
Device ID 0x0124.
