The NI-FBUS Configurator
Configurator Startup

Reference Figure 3–2 for this step.
a.
The NI-FBUS Configurator automatically detects all valid devices
connected to the network. If the connected devices are registered by
the Fieldbus Foundation as compliant devices and the DD files
have been imported, the configurator will detect the device and the
blocks contained within the device. This process can take a few
minutes. When complete, the configurator main screen will open,
and the configuration tree will display all valid devices found on the
network.
b.
Check the blocks available. The LevelPRO with fieldbus supports
three blocks that allow you to configure and control the system.
They are:
RESOURCE_ XXXXXXXXX (RB2): The resource block
contains device information, such as device name and serial
number.
AI_TRANSDUCER_ XXXXXXXXX (AITB): Open the
AI_TRANSDUCER block to configure or view setup
parameters and access system diagnostic tools.
ANALOG_INPUT_ XXXXXXXXX (AI): The
ANALOG_INPUT block (AI) takes the manufacturer's input
data and makes it available to another function at its output.
