Foundation Fieldbus Interface
The parameters required for integration of the device into the PLC are divided into functional groups.
The “Resource Block” contains information about the device (e. g. type of the device, manufacturer).
The “Transducer Block” contains sensor-specific parameters as well as the measured values (flow,
density, temperature)
The “Analog Input function block” (AI) contains parameters forming the output value (limits, range,
low flow cutoff, damping value, …). The UMC3-FF contains 4 AI blocks:
flow,
density,
temperature,
forward totalizer
The UMC3-FF is capable of performing a LAS functionality. The device does not support any write
protection.
A detailed description of the functions and the Foundation Fieldbus standardized parameters are
published by the Fieldbus Foundation
