Overview

The USB Fieldbus Interface enables two-way communication between a
computer and fieldbus devices. Its primary function is to allow the setup,
configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices through a
computer.

The interface is fully compatible with all FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) devices
and is always configured as a "visitor."

Features

Compliant with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications
Works with standard USB cables
Can detect a Link Active Scheduler (LAS) and will take over as a LAS if it is not present on the

segment
Can be connected to any fieldbus segment containing a FOUNDATION fieldbus device
Has software support for both Device Descriptors (DDs) and FDT Device Type Managers

(DTMs)

It is particularly useful in these plant scenarios:

•

Workbench setup and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices

•

With a laptop in the field to configure, commission, decommission, or
troubleshoot fieldbus devices
