The FIM constantly monitors the live list for each fieldbus link connected to it. When the
LAS for the link recognizes a new device at a default address, it adds it to its live list
according to the data link layer procedures. The FIM detects the change in the live list
and makes a connection to the new uncommissioned device. It gathers the following
information from the device to be passed to Control Builder.

Control Builder uses the device information to create an item in its Monitoring tree to
represent the new uncommissioned device on the given link. Users can now view and
configure pertinent information for the uncommissioned device through appropriate Link
block and device block configuration forms in Control Builder.
TIP
The FIM must be configured and loaded through Control Builder before you
can view it and its links through the Monitoring tab of Control Builder.
