Several documents exist that cover the technical aspects of fieldbus in great detail. For
the purposes of this discussion, fieldbus technology allows devices from multiple
manufacturers to connect to a communications bus. The communications protocol is
designed to allow multiple devices to share information based on a schedule that is
executed by a Link Active Scheduler (LAS).
A Link Master device controls when devices access the fieldbus and executes the link
schedule which synchronizes communications with function block execution on the
fieldbus. The H1 card or any field device that supports Link Master functionality can
function as a Link Master device. Only one Link Master device can be active at a time
on the fieldbus segment. This device is called the LAS. The DeltaV system can
configure one Link Master device to function as the Primary Link Master device.
When the Primary Link Master device is attached to the fieldbus, it takes over as the
LAS. The H1 card always functions as the Primary Link Master. All other Link Master
devices are backup Link Master devices that can take over as LAS only if the Primary
Link Master device fails. One backup Link Master device is supported per fieldbus
segment. The fieldbus devices communicate on a schedule (executed by the LAS) as
required to implement the control strategy.
A key benefit of fieldbus technology is interoperability the ability to operate
multiple devices, independent of manufacturer, in the same system, without loss of
functionality.
This document is based on the following assumptions about a fieldbus application or
installation:
Devices are connected at one end of the segment and the fieldbus power supply is
connected at the other end of the segment.
If these assumptions are incorrect for your application, this document attempts to
provide information that will help you to resolve the issues and design a suitable
solution. For complete information on the fieldbus protocol, refer to the Fieldbus
Foundation.

Components
The following sections describe the primary components in a fieldbus segment:
terminators
wiring components
Redundant Series 2 H1
For redundant applications, the redundant Series 2 H1 cards ensure uninterrupted
communications between a fieldbus segment and the DeltaV system. For applications
requiring additional protection such as high availability applications, the redundant
Series 2 H1 card can be used in conjunction with redundant power and short circuit
protection. Figure 14 on page 55 shows the use of a Series 2 redundant H1 card in a
high availability application. Figure 2 shows a redundant Series 2 H1 card.

The H1 card is the only primary link master allowed on the fieldbus segment. The
DeltaV system supports one backup link master device on each fieldbus segment.

Fieldbus Power Supply
15
Simplex Power
Emerson Process Management recommends either the MTL5995 Fieldbus Power
Supply or the Relcom Fieldbus Power System Dual (FPS-DT) for applications
requiring simplex power. The MTL5995 mounts on a DIN rail and provides the
isolation from its DC input source, the power conditioner function, and a switchable
terminator in a single package. Because of the isolation supplied by the unit, it is
appropriate to connect this unit to the Bulk 24 VDC supplies used to provide bussed
field power to other DeltaV I/O products. The maximum current supplied to the
segment is 350 mA. Refer to Installing the MTL5995 Power Supply on page 31 for
more information.
Redundant Power
Emerson Process Management recommends the Relcom Fieldbus Power System
(FPS-Series) for applications requiring redundant power. The maximum current
supplied to the segment is 350 mA. Refer to High Availability Applications on page
45 for information on using redundant power in conjunction with short circuit
protection.
Non-Incendive Power
For FNICO (Fieldbus Non-Incendive COncept) applications, Emerson Process
Management recommends the MTL9111-NI and MTL9112-NI power supplies. The
maximum current supplied to the segment by the MTL9111-NI is 180 mA and the
maximum current supplied by the MTL9112-NI is 320 mA. Refer to Non-Incendive
Fieldbus Applications on page 57 for installation and application information.
16
Terminators
A fieldbus segment acts as a transmission line for data communications between the
various devices. A terminator balances the impedance at each end of a transmission
line to ensure reliable communications. The MTL5995 power supply has a terminator
that can be switched in or out. In addition, other types of terminators are available
depending upon the location and type of the power supply and the other ends of the
cable. For more information, refer to Installing the Terminators on page 34 and to
Fieldbus Third Party Products on page 103. Figure 4 shows a few examples of
different types of terminators.
Figure 4
Terminators
17
Wiring Components
Emerson Process Management recommends a family of connection blocks and cable
components for use in installing your fieldbus segment. These components include
quick connect junction blocks, field wireable connectors, terminators, spur guards for
short circuit protection, and gland cables that can be installed in your field devices.
These components can be used with fieldbus cable that you can purchase from
recommended suppliers. All of these devices are selected to not degrade the
communications between devices.
18
Topologies
A simple view of a fieldbus segment is shown below. This picture shows a bulk power
supply, fieldbus power supply, two terminators, two field devices, and a control system
interface. The fieldbus power supply provides the power required for the devices and
contains the conditioning element.

Supply
In this document, the wire or cable between the two terminators is referred to as the
bus or trunk, and any connections that branch off from the bus are referred to as
spurs. In the picture, the fieldbus power supply, control system interfaces, and field
devices, are shown connected between the terminators. Any of these three devices
could be connected as spurs between the terminators or as spurs beyond the main
trunk.
There are several ways to design a fieldbus segment topology: point-to-point, chickenfoot, daisy chain, bus (or trunk) with spurs, and tree. This document focuses on a bus
with spurs topology and takes into account the different types of wiring that are
available for fieldbus segments, wire distribution issues, length restrictions, and power
issues.
Note
Daisy chaining from device to device is not recommended. The wiring strategy detailed
within this document does not lend itself to daisy-chaining from one device to the next
within the spur.
To minimize the possibility of communication problems, Emerson Process
Management recommends that the bus be a continuous run of the same type of cable.
(Fieldbus Type A cable is recommended.) Devices can be connected anywhere along
the bus, following the rules associated with spur length.
19
Fieldbus was designed to operate properly on a variety of existing plant wiring and it is
possible that your specific application could operate on existing runs of instrument
cable. However, as the cable length and number of devices increase, it is possible to
exceed the reliable operating margins of the fieldbus segment if you do not keep the
application-specific requirements in mind when you design the segment.
The following sections describe the restrictions on the total length of spurs on a
segment, the number of devices allowed on individual spurs, and the impact on that
individual spurs length.
Cable Type
The fieldbus specifications recommend that new fieldbus Type A cable be used
whenever possible. The standard fieldbus Type A cable provides a maximum distance
of 1900 meters for a single segment. Before using any other type of cable, verify the
cable characteristics to determine its suitability and the maximum distances associated
with its use.
When upgrading a system to fieldbus devices, you can use existing instrument wiring
such as multi-conductor cable if you significantly reduce the cable length. Where it is
required, we recommend at a minimum the use of Type B cable which has multiple
twisted pairs with an overall shield. This type still provides reasonable distance at 1200
meters.
Since the DeltaV Controller and I/O can be remotely mounted, there should be
minimal need for the multi-conductor cables.
Note
20
For new and upgrade installations, Emerson Process Management highly recommends
only new fieldbus Type A cable for the trunk and spurs.
At a minimum, use new fieldbus Type A cable for all bus portions of the segment, and
use existing field wiring only for spurs of short length. Table 1 provides information
on fieldbus Type A cable.

For further information on types of cable, distances, and other specifications, contact
the Fieldbus Foundation or a fieldbus consultant.
Cable Lengths
The length of the cable is calculated as the overall length of the main bus cable plus
the length of all of the spur cables. This document assumes short spur lengths of 3-5
meters and the calculation for the main bus should be sufficient in many cases. If you
are using longer spur cables, include their length in the overall calculation. Refer to the
next section for more information on spur length.
Spur Lengths
A spur is a drop off of the main bus (the cable between the two terminators).
(Figure 5 on page 29 shows a fieldbus installation with several spurs.) If you have a
choice about spur length, shorter is better. The total spur length is limited according
to the total number of devices on the segment. The wiring components do not lend
themselves to daisy chaining within spurs. If you decide to install more than one
device per spur, refer to Table 2 for more information on the recommended spur
length based on the number of devices.
21
If any fieldbus devices require ground connections, you should minimize the spur
length to avoid creating a ground loop between field devices. Such a loop might not
impact the communications on the bus, but will provide a path for unexpected
current flow, and should be avoided if possible.

Fieldbus (Type A)
18 GA
The available current to power a field device depends on the length and resistance
characteristics of the fieldbus cable. Table 4 shows the maximum distance in meters
for a given load on the MTL5995 fieldbus power supply for an H1 card, a Series 2 H1
card operating in simplex mode, and a Series 2 H1 card operating in redundant
mode. The following assumptions are made:
Devices are connected at one end of the cable and the fieldbus power supply is
connected on the other end of the cable.
Note
Refer to the device documentation for information on current requirements for the device.
23
When referring to Table 4, remember that the H1 card requires no fieldbus power; the
Series 2 H1 card requires 12 mA of fieldbus power in simplex mode, and an
additional 12 mA of fieldbus power (24 mA total) in redundant mode.

The following two examples show how to calculate maximum distance per number of
devices. Remember to allow for the additional fieldbus power requirements of 12 mA
for the Series 2 cards: (12 mA in simplex mode and 24 mA total in redundant mode).
The additional load does not cause a reduction in the maximum cable length because
the Series 2 H1 card is close to the power supply.
Example 1
The following example calculates the maximum distance for 10 devices with a loop
current of 200 mA:
Maximum Distance (km) = (10 Volts /.200 Amps) / (44 Ohms/km) = 1.136 km = 1136 meters
As Table 4 shows, the maximum distance for 10 devices at 200 mA is 1136 meters.
Example 2
This example uses a more detailed calculation to determine if a segment with 7
devices at.6 km from the power supply and 6 devices at 1 km from the power supply is
allowed.

Power Supply

7 Devices
1.0 km
6 Devices
As Table 4 shows, 13 devices are limited to 874 meters maximum which is less than
the 1 km needed. Calculate the sum of the individual voltage drops for a more detailed
analysis. Total voltage drop must be less than the 10 Volts maximum.
Vdrop = Load Current X Loop Resistance
Calculating the voltage drop shows that 1 km is an allowed length for the 13 device
segment.
25
Control strategy
Geographic Distribution
Generally speaking, you can connect a maximum of 16 field devices plus one H1 card
(simplex or redundant) to a fieldbus segment. Geographic distribution of the fieldbus
devices can reduce the number of devices when the length of the cable exceeds 650
meters, as shown in Table 2 and Table 4.
Control Strategy
When you design your control strategy, consider loop execution rates and pre and
post processing calculations. No more than 64 field function blocks can be assigned
to any H1 card. An H1 card can support two independent fieldbus segments. Refer to
Books Online for more information on designing a control strategy that uses fieldbus.
26
Warning
This installation procedure contains steps that are to be performed in nonhazardous or safe locations only. For installations in hazardous locations,
follow your plant's procedures to make the area safe during installation.
Note
Tools
Installing fieldbus devices and segments is similar to installing other types of devices
or products. Many of the standard electrical tools are required for the installation.
However fieldbus is also a communications network. In addition to the standard
electrical tools (voltmeter, wire cutter, wire stripper, pliers, and screwdrivers) you will
need the following tools for troubleshooting communications networks:
Fluke 123 Digital Scope Meter or equivalent scope with resistance, DC voltage,
and capacitance measurement capability. (Some capacitance meters measure
components only and may not provide the expected results when measuring a
complete segment.)
Fieldbus segments should never have either conductor grounded. The shield for the
segment wiring should be continuous, and connected to ground in only one place the
shield bar beneath the H1 card. Making more than one connection to ground can cause
a ground loop to form and the unexpected current flow could disrupt communications.
27
Refer to Figure 5.
1. Route the fieldbus cable, install both terminators, make any field wireable
connectors, and install all gland cable adapters.
Refer to the following sections for installation details and refer to Building Field
Wireable Connectors and Installing Device Gland Cables on page 75 for
information on making field wireable minifast connectors.
2. Perform the installation checkout in Appendix A.
3. Install the card(s), connect the H1 Interface card or the Series 2 H1 card(s) to the
segment, and enable the appropriate ports.
Remember to allow for 12 mA of fieldbus power for the Series 2 cards: (12 mA in
simplex mode and 24 mA total in redundant mode).
4. If the devices have previously had their tags assigned, connect all the devices to
the segment, and commission the devices, following the instructions in the
DeltaV Explorer online help.
or
5. If the devices have not had their tags assigned, connect field devices to the
segment one at a time, and verify that each device appears in the decommissioned devices list for the port. Follow the instructions in the DeltaV
Explorer online help to commission the devices. (Without knowing the device
ID, it is difficult to determine which device you are attempting to commission if
you connect several devices of the same type to the segment at the same time.)

Segregate wiring. Ensure that the wiring between the 24 VDC power supply and
the MTL5995 is not bundled with heavy duty power cable.
1. Strip the cable and wire to the dimensions shown in the following figure. (If you
are using ferrules on the wire, see the important note below.)
Important
If using ferrules on the wires, use ferrules with a 5/8 inch uninsulated shaft to prevent
the ferrule insulator from interferring with the connectors.
31
Note
Mount the MTL5995 vertically with the screened label to the left when facing the unit.
Leave a one inch gap between power supplies for air flow if installing multiple fieldbus

documentation could result in an unapproved and unsafe application.
Additionally, in hazardous locations follow your plant's procedures for making
the area safe during installation and maintenance operations.
Host Power
Both the MTL9121 IS and 9122 IS power supplies can provide power to the host in
the safe area. The supplies are rated at 30 mA and are capable of providing host power
for either the simplex or redundant Series 2 H1 cards. The distance between the host
and the IS power supply can exceed 1000 meters.

Note
The hazardous area wiring must remain separated from the safe area wiring. This
includes the shield drain wires as they must be separate wires all the way to the ground

To wire the safe area
The 24 VDC power input and host connectors are on the top of the power supply.
1. Connect the primary power supply positive (+) wire to pin 1.
2. Connect the primary power negative (-) 24 V return to pin 2.
3. Connect a secondary power supply positive (optional) (+) wire to pin 3.
If using a primary and secondary 24 VDC power supply, be sure to connect the power
supply returns together.
4. Connect the host segment negative (-) to pin 4.
5. Connect the host segment shield to pin 5.
6. Connect the host segment positive (+) to pin 6.
Switches
The power supplies have a switchable host side terminator and host power switch.
(The field side terminator is permanently connected.)

side and two terminators are on the fieldbus side of each power supply. Similarly, the
use of the switchable power capability is dependent upon the needs of the particular
IS application. The Series 2 H1 card requires power; therefore, the host power switch
should be ON. If more than one IS power supply is connected to the same segment
(as in Figure 10), host power should be provided by one unit only. Be sure the
additional units host power switches are in the OFF position.

The following example calculates the voltage drops on.5 km segment to the farthest
device:
Normal voltage drop = 0.5 Volts
Short circuit voltage drop =.060A X (44 ohms/km) X.5 km = 1.32 Volts
Total voltage drop = normal voltage drop + short circuit voltage drop = 1.82 volts.
This calculation is based on a design that allows for one short circuit in a running
segment. For example, a situation in which an inadvertent shorting of a device occurs
during routine replacement on an operating system. The calculation does not allow
for multiple short circuit conditions in a new installation that has not been verified
with the segment checkout procedure.

1. Attach the top latch of the Redundant Coupler onto the DIN rail and push the
unit into place.
2. Plug the IPMs, H1 connector, fieldbus segment connector, and the input power/
alarm circuit connector into the Redundant Coupler.
Note
52
Ground the shield at only one point usually at the H1 card on the shield ground bar.
Installing Megablocks
Refer to Figure 13.
Notice that the Trunk connectors are black and the spur connectors for the devices
are gray.
1. Attach the top latch of the Megablock onto the DIN rail and push the unit into
place.
2. For the Trunk connector (black): connect the positive (+) segment wire to the
positive, connect the negative (-) segment wire to the negative, and connect the
segment shield (S) to the S.
53
3. For each device connector (gray): connect the positive (+) spur wire to the
positive, connect the negative (-) spur wire to the negative, and connect the
shield wire (S) to the S.
4. Connect a terminator (Relcom FCS-MBT) to a Trunk connector at the end of
the segment.
5. Connect the other end of the terminator to a ground connection. Use a wire
properly sized to reduce the risk of a surge affecting the segment.
To connect multiple Megablocks, use a short jumper cable and connect the
unconnected Trunk on the first Megablock to the first Trunk on the second
Megablock. Be sure to connect a terminator to a Trunk connector at the end of the
segment.

FNICO circuits in which cable parameter calculations are not required. FNICO is
similar to FISCO and is described in MTL Application Note AN9027.
The MTL9111-NI and 9112-NI power supplies have a host side terminator switch
and a host side power switch on the front of the unit. The terminator on the field side
is permanently connected. Both power supplies are fieldbus repeater power supplies
that repeat the fieldbus signal from the field to the host and power both the fieldbus
segment and the host.
Refer to the MTL documentation and/or visit the DeltaV website
(www.easydeltav.com) and follow the links to MTL for additional information on their
products.
Note
The Series 2 H1 card requires a power supply for each port in Non-Incendive
applications. The MTL9111-NI and 9112-NI Power Supplies can provide this
power.

In any hazardous area installation it is important to read and follow the device
manufacturer's design and installation documents. Failure to follow the
documentation could result in an unapproved and unsafe application.
Additionally, in hazardous locations follow your plant's procedures for making
the area safe during installation and maintenance operations.
59
Host Power
Both the MTL9111-NI and 9112-NI power supplies can provide power to the host in
the safe area. The supplies are rated at 30 mA and are capable of providing host power
for either the simplex or redundant Series 2 H1 cards. The distance between the host
and the NI power supply can exceed 1000 meters.

side and two terminators are on the fieldbus side of each power supply. Similarly, the
use of the switchable power capability is dependent upon the needs of the particular
NI application. The Series 2 H1 card requires power; therefore, the host power switch
should be ON. If more than one NI power supply is connected to the same segment
(as in Figure 17), host power should be provided by one unit only. Be sure the
additional units host power switches are in the OFF position.

Tools
You will need the following tools to perform the segment checkout procedure:
Fluke 123 Digital Scope Meter or equivalent scope with resistance, DC voltage,
and capacitance measurement capability. (Some capacitance meters measure
components only and may not provide the expected results when measuring a
complete segment.)
Small screwdriver
Checkout Procedure
Before performing the checkout procedure:
Ensure that the field wiring is completed and properly terminated and that all
field devices are attached.
Remove the Fieldbus segment cable (+, -, and shield) at terminal block connector
locations (7, 8, 9) and (10, 11, 12) from the fieldbus power supply.
Remove only the connector to the field wiring; it is not necessary to remove the
connector to the H1 card. Removing the connector to the field wiring isolates the
field wiring from the H1 card and power supply, isolates the shield from ground, and
enables you to make the resistance and capacitance measurements in the checkout
procedure. If your field wiring connections differ from the connections described
here, isolate the field wiring from both the H1 card and the power supply, and isolate
the shield from ground.
Important
Make sure that your bare hands do not come in contact with meter leads or segment
wiring. The body acts as capacitor and body contact with leads or wiring could result in
false readings.
67
Step 1: Measure resistance on the H1 segment conductors at the removed MTL terminal
block connector coming in from the field.
Measure resistance from the:
Expected result
Step 2: Measure capacitance on the H1 segment conductors at the removed MTL terminal
block connector coming in from the field.
Measure capacitance from the:
Expected result
1 F (0.80 to 1.20 F
acceptable)2
< 300 nF
< 300 nF
1. This value will change due to the capacitor charging in the termination RC circuit and the capacitance
in the fieldbus cables.
2. A reading of <.5 F indicates no terminator on the segment. A reading of a nominal 2 F indicates a
second terminator on the segment. The acceptable values assume that the power supply terminator is
used as the second terminator and only one additional terminator is connected in the field. Otherwise,
the expected result would be 2 F.
3. An actual reading that is much greater or varies in a capacitor charging manner to a high capacitance
value (>1 F) indicates a poor quality noisy ground on the shield ground bar. Be sure to correct this
ground problem to prevent communication errors on the fieldbus segment. A reading of 300 nF indicates
noise on the ground system. Field data has shown that readings of up to 500 nF can be acceptable providing the fieldbus signal waveform and voltage compare to that shown in Figure 19.

Step 3: Check the position of the two switches on the rear of the MTL power supply.

Note
The white (-) and black (+) conventions used in this document are not standards and
can differ from plant to plant. Furthermore, many fieldbus devices are polarity insensitive
but some are polarity sensitive. Be sure that you maintain a consistent use of color and
polarity convention.
Normally the device's case ground is external to the device and separate from any
segment wiring. The standard fieldbus cable does not support a grounding wire;
however, a separate wire could be added to ground the device at a local ground
connection point. There is no shield drain wire and there should not be any shield
connection made or allowed to the field device. The shield drain wire should be
removed at the device and insulated to prevent accidental ground connection to the
device.
Important
The shield drain wire MUST NOT be connected to the device's case ground wire at the
device.

H1 Card
The H1 card provides a great deal of information for troubleshooting fieldbus
segments. Once communication has been established, use the LEDs to monitor
communication between the card and fieldbus devices. The bottom two LEDs on the
H1 card reflect communication between the port and fieldbus devices on that port.

function block is configured on the segment. Remember that each fieldbus device
should contain at a minimum either an AI or AO function block.
DeltaV Explorer
Indicators in the DeltaV Explorer tell you if an H1 port or a fieldbus device needs to
be downloaded or commissioned.
The blue triangle ( ) on an H1 port or device means that the port or device needs to
be downloaded. Select the port or device, click the right mouse button, and then select
Download to open a dialog box that lists the fieldbus configuration information to be
downloaded.
The yellow exclamation point ( )on a device means that the device needs to be
commissioned. To commission the device, select it from the Decommissioned device
list and drag it to either the port or device placeholder.
80
Control Studio
Use Control Studio in on-line mode to diagnose problems with modules running in
fieldbus devices. The most common problems are: incorrect channel number,
incorrect engineering units, and block out of service. You must assign and download a
module before viewing it in on-line mode.
1. Open the module in Control Studio.
2. Click View | On-line to create an on-line, or debug, session in which you can
examine module and block parameters. A red X on a function block parameter
indicates a problem with the function block.
Note
Any online changes affect your process because the changes are made to downloaded
modules in the controller. Use extreme care when changing values or stopping the
execution of an algorithm.
3. Select the block with the red X. The Parameter View window in Control Studio
displays a full list of parameters for that block. The CHANNEL, XD_SCALE,
UNITS, and L_TYPE parameters are often overlooked when diagnosing
problems with fieldbus devices.
4. Double-click a parameter in Parameter View to open the Parameter Properties
dialog box for that parameter.
5. Make any changes to the parameter properties and click OK to close the dialog
box and save the changes. (Use the dialog box help for help on the parameter
properties.) Remember that changes made in on-line mode are not saved in the
database. Use Control Studio or Explorer to upload the parameter changes to
the database.
Diagnostics
Remember that the Diagnostics online help contains descriptions of all fieldbus
parameter values. To access the descriptions, select the parameter, click the right
mouse button, and select What's This.
Use DeltaV Diagnostics to:
Check integrity on the H1 card, backup link master device, and ports
Check overall port statistics and communication statistics for each device
81
Open DeltaV Diagnostics and click View | Details or View | Compare to quickly see
the device state. If the device is not commissioned, open the DeltaV Explorer and
commission the device. Then, download the port and the device. If the device is
commissioned, check integrity on the port and then check port and device
communication statistics.
Port Integrity
Typically, integrity problems originate below the node and then "bubble up" to the
node level. Integrity problems are indicated by the overlay. Start by looking for a
controller with the overlay and if found, expand the controller hierarchy until you
find the root cause of the problem. If a fieldbus card has an integrity problem, expand
the card to see which port has the problem. Select each port and look at the port's
status. Possible port status values are:
82
No Termination on Link this port is not terminated. Check the attached cable.
Refer to Checkout Procedure on page 67 for a procedure to check each
segment for proper power, grounding, and isolation before you commission field
devices on the segment.
Link Error possible card problem. Reseat the H1 card to verify the card's selftest. If the problem persists, replace the H1 card, and notify Technical Support.
No Communications on Link.
H1 Card Problem Reseat the H1 card to verify the card's self-test. If the
problem persists, replace the H1 card, and notify Technical Support.
One or more function block problems on link or device problems expand the
port and check the state of each fieldbus device on the port. Any state other than
Commissioned indicates a potential problem with that fieldbus device. Refer to
the DeltaV Explorer help for assistance on commissioning fieldbus devices.
Tip
Retries Total Dll Retries is the total number of data link packets that the H1
card had to retry. If this statistic is steadily increasing, check the communication
statistics for each device to see which device is causing the problem. To check
communication statistics on a device, click the right mouse button on the device
and select Display Communication Statistics. The number of retries to a fieldbus
device generally should be much less then 1% of the total requests sent to the
device. If this is not the case, either the device is bad or there is a segment
problem.
Stack errors Total Local Stack Errors is the total number of fieldbus
request that failed because the local communication stack returned a response
that indicated an error. The H1 card might need to be replaced if this statistic is
steadily increasing. Total Stack Rejected Request is the total number of
fieldbus requests that failed because the local communication stack did not accept
the request. The H1 card might need to be replaced if this statistic is steadily
increasing.
Clicking the Reset Stats button resets all values to 0 and makes it easier to read the
statistics. Click the Help button on any of the Port Statistics dialog boxes for
information on the status values.
Next, look at detailed port statistics. Click the right mouse button on the port and
select Display Port Detail Statistics. The FMS prefix in some of the detailed port
statistics refers to the Fieldbus Message Specification services. These services allow
user applications to send messages to each other across the fieldbus using a standard
83
84
Initiates received and sent InitsSent is the total number of connects sent to
the function blocks in this device. If this statistic is steadily increasing for this field
device only, the field device could have a problem. If this statistic is steadily
increasing for several field devices, a segment problem could exist.

3. Expand the controller hierarchy until you find the root cause of the problem.
The problem could be improper wiring causing noise if:
There is a communication error on the device.
The H1 card port shows bad integrity.
1. Ground the shield only in one place, preferably the DeltaV system cabinet. Use
shielded, twisted-pair cable.
88
2. Cut and tape the shield inside the instrument housing to prevent the shield from
contacting the instrument housing and possibly causing a ground loop.
3. Wire all spurs in parallel (individually or as a group in a junction box, including
the shield). If the wiring between the H1 card and the power isolator uses
untwisted, unshielded power cable, excessive noise can occur in cable runs less
than 3 feet.
4. Continue the twisted, shielded pair all the way back to the H1 card and ground
the shield at the ground bus bar on the 8-wide I/O carrier.
5. Check all junction boxes and tape or tie into place any exposed shielding or drain
to ensure that they do not become grounded to the junction box.
89
1. Calibrate the range in the transducer block and the XD Scale in the AI block to
exactly the same range and units. This should fix the AI and Transducer block
configuration.

The temperature transmitter is delivered from the factory with a default sensor setting
for a 100 platinum RTD. To use a different sensor type, follow these steps:
1. Set the sensor type in the device transducer block.
2. Disconnect the transmitter from the bus.
3. Wait 10-15 seconds and then reconnect the transmitter to the bus.
4. Set the AI block mode back to AUTO.

Off it is possible that the port is not enabled and cannot talk to the device. All
ports must be configured, enabled, and downloaded, before they can function.
93
To add configuration
1. Open Control Studio and create the configuration for the devices.
2. Download the devices.
94
Improper firmware revision for the H1 card. Run the DeltaV Controller
Upgrade Utility to upgrade the controller and correct this problem.
1. Locate the switches on the back side of the MTL5995 near the DIN rail mounting
brackets.
2. Set the red (Dual Redundancy Switch) to Normal mode (left position).
3. Set the yellow (Termination switch) to Termination In (right position).
Remember that there can be only two terminators per segment. Refer to Installing
the Terminators on page 34 for information.
Improper wiring
1. Ground the shield only in one place, preferably the DeltaV system cabinet. Use
shielded, twisted-pair cable.
2. Cut and tape the shield inside the instrument housing to prevent the shield from
contacting the instrument housing and possibly causing a ground loop.
95
Use a Fluke 123 Digital Scope Meter or the equivalent and measure the output DC
voltage between the terminals 12 (+) and 11(-) or 9 (+) and 8 (-) on the power supply.
If the voltage is less than 18 V, replace the power supply.
workstation. Then, the DeltaV Yellow Pages utility automatically synchronizes the
device definitions on the other DeltaV workstations.
Use the Add Device Definition Utility to install the necessary DD files and then use
DeltaV Explorer to verify that the DD file is in the DeltaV Explorer library.
To install a DD
1. Insert the device definition disk or CD into the drive. (The device definitions can
also be on a local shared hard drive.)
2. Navigate to Fieldbus Devices (Library/Fieldbus Devices).
3. Click the right mouse button and then click Add Device Definition.
4. Browse for the location of the drive or directory where the device definition files
are stored and click OK. You are not required to select each file individually. The
device definition files are automatically selected when you select the drive. (If the
directory contains more than one file of a needed file type, an error is displayed.
The duplicate file types must be removed before attempting to add the device.)
5. Read the Warning message. If you want to proceed with the installation, click
Yes.
6. Follow the prompts to install the device definition files on the ProfessionalPLUS
workstation.
7. Refer to the release notes for the generic devices that have been tested for
interoperability with DeltaV systems. You can find the most up-to-date
information on fieldbus device files on our support web site located at
www.easydeltav.com. The web site has the latest support files from all
manufacturers that have been evaluated by Emerson Process Management.

Note
98
In general, power cycling or master restarting a device can often correct device errors that
do not respond to other actions.
To do a master restart
1. Right-click the Resource block and select the Reset/Restart option. (Sometimes
this option is available in the Transducer block.)
If the device still shows an error:
2. Select the Defaults option. This sets all parameter or sensor configurations to the
defaults.
3. Re-enter the device setup data in the Transducer and Resource blocks.
99
1. Locate the jumper or dip switch on the side opposite the wiring connections.
2. Set the jumper or switch.
