Project Setup
Overview
A Project Manager's primary focus is on creating finished project deliverables.
Daily tasks involve making sure issues relative to modeling techniques, piping
specifications and implementation of company standards are all on track.
To support this effort, Bentley designed the Plant Process & Instrumentation and
3D Plant Design applications to allow the project teams to work within a
concurrent engineering environment for all aspects of functional, schematic, and
physical plant design.
By using a central database as a project repository, the applications for both 2D

and 3D can easily share the same data. Data can be edited on a project-wide
basis, drastically reducing the time it takes to bring a data-intensive project to
completion. Managers also appreciate the wealth of reports that can be
generated from a centralized system.
This course will give you a basic understanding of how a project is created and
why it is important to manage the drawing files and data repository.
Prerequisites
Students should have a minimum of six months experience with AutoCAD®
functionality and some familiarity with AutoPLANT commands and concepts.
Feb-10 11 Project Setup

Objectives
Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
• Use the Project Administrator utility program to create a new project root
directory.
• User the Project Administrator utility program to create a new project.
Introductory Knowledge
Before you begin this module, let's define what you already know.
AutoPLANT applications provide additional productivity functions to your native

AutoCAD® application. Although it is not the intention of this course to teach
basic AutoCAD®, these review questions will help you assess your current
knowledge prior to beginning the AutoPLANT course.
Identify the following statements as either True or False. The answers to each
question are provided in detail.
Questions
1 True/False: AutoPLANT drawing units function the same way as
AutoCAD®.
2 True/False: In Microsoft Windows the top level directory is referred to as
the "root" directory.
Answers
1 True: All units function in the same way in both AutoPLANT and
AutoCAD®. Units are set for both length and angle during the project
setup phase.
2 True: In Microsoft Windows®, a top level directory may be referred to as
the root directory. The Project Administrator utility will enable you to
create a Project Root directory at any level in your computer's file
structure. Multiple projects may be set up under the Project Root
directory.
Project Setup 12 Feb-10

Sharing Design Data
Sharing Design Data

AutoPLANT includes a set of integrated design and modeling tools. Some of these
applications, such as AutoPLANT P&ID, Piping and Equipment require AutoCAD®
to function. The database applications utilize Microsoft Access® and Microsoft
Excel®. All of these tools provide fast layout and design of intelligent components.
This intelligent design philosophy enables the user to input component data once
and let the information cascade throughout the life of the project. Data is stored
within a centralized database which is easily accessed by all members of the
project team.
Many applications support the common scenario of sending documents to off-

site design offices and vendors and then re-synchronizing the off-site design data
with the central project database.
To facilitate data sharing, a project must first be created. This function is usually
performed by the Project Administrator, using a set of tools installed with the
AutoPLANT applications.
These projects will contain custom configurations for all drawing and model
defaults and settings.
Once a project environment is defined, all models and drawings associated with
the project are managed and stored in the appropriate locations. Sharing of
design data is tightly regulated, preserving the database integrity.

Project Administrator
Project Administrator
During the AutoPLANT installation, various core and utility applications, common
to both the 2D and 3D programs are installed under the AutoPLANT group icon.
The Project Administrator utility enables you to create and manage custom
projects. From the interface you can edit the database configurations and control
system administration functions such as security access to critical data.
A new project is typically created by the Administrator before modeling has

begun.
Open the utility from Start > Programs > Bentley > Plant V8i > Project Tools >
Project Administrator.
The navigation tree on the left is where you access specific project properties.
The C:\Bentley Plant V8i Projects directory is a top level directory and referred to
as a Project Root directory.
The directory level below the root directory contains sample projects that are
delivered with the install.
• SAMPLE_IMPERIAL
• SAMPLE_METRIC
• SAMPLE MMETRIC

User Configurations
These sample project files are not recommended for production use, but are used
as templates for building your own projects.
User Configurations
AutoPLANT is designed to support multiple projects. This design enables you to
define the units, specs, drawing database format, borders, drawing templates,
module and component options, in a specific configuration.
To support this implementation, sample configuration files were created to serve

as placeholders for the definition of configuration defaults and settings. By using
the samples you can remove the tedious effort that would be required to
manually edit these configuration files when creating a custom configuration.
You can see an example of the file structure beneath the User Configuration
directory. You will use the User Configuration Sample Imperial to create a new
project.

Creating Project Root Directories

There are no rules as to how many Project Root directories an organization uses
or how many projects are contained within the project root.
A Project Root directory can be at any level of your computer's file structure. The
path to that folder is referred to as %PROJECT_ROOT% throughout the
AutoPLANT course documentation.
Project Root directories usually reside in a different file path than your
AutoPLANT installation, so the path to the installation is shown as
%NETWORK_ROOT% throughout the AutoPLANT course documentation.
Note: Although not visible in the Bentley Project Administrator dialog, the system has
created a file called at_proj.dbf that resides in this project root directory. This
file contains a record for every project that is created under this specific root
directory.
The following exercises will give you exposure to Project Administrator

functionality. You will create a directory structure in preparation for the 2D and
3D Fundamental courses.
Once directories have been set up, they are ready for the installation of a pre-
defined project dataset.
 Exercise 1: Create a new Project Root directory.

1 Select Start > Programs > Bentley > Plant V8i > Project Tools > Project
Administrator.
2 Select User Configurations.
3 Select File > Add Root.
4 Select the appropriate drive.
This course will use the C:\drive.
5 In the Browse for Folder dialog, click Make New Folder.
6 Name the folder Bentley Training Project.

7 Click OK.
The software returns to the Project Administrator interface with the new
Project Root directory called Bentley Training Project listed in the
navigation tree.
Now that the Root Directory has been defined, you will create the project.

Creating a Project
Creating a Project
When a new project is created, the user needs to specify the basic criteria. The
following information provides an overview of the type of information you will
input.
Provider Type
This is the database program that will be used for storing the project data.
AutoPLANT can write to Microsoft Access®, MSDE®, SQL Server®, and Oracle®.
(Only those installed on the computer will be available for selection.)
Base Template and 3D Settings
When you create a new project, the seed files that are required to build the
project are copied from the %NETWORK_ROOT%\Base and
%NETWORK_ROOT%\config directories. (%NETWORK_ROOT% refers to the path
of your AutoPLANT installation and is most likely C:\Program Files\Bentley\Plant
V8i.) These directories act as a "master project" and are installed with the
application.
AutoPLANT provides two project templates: Standard Base Project and KKS. KKS
acts as the European counterpart to the Standard Base Project. These templates
contain the Bentley P&ID and AutoPLANT Plant Design standards and data
structures.
Note: Creation of new project templates is covered in the 2D and 3D Administrator

courses.
The 3D Modeling Project Settings that you select will indicate which configuration
data files will be copied over to create the new project files.
The Units field defines the drawing and model defaults including units, specs,
drawing database format, borders, drawing templates, modules and component
options. These configurations were installed in your directory.
The Use Central Project Mode check box is only available when you select SQL
Server® or Oracle® database provider types.

Creating a Project
Project Paths
By default, all project data is stored in a collection of folders in the

%PROJECT_ROOT% directory. You can, however, specify different paths for
specific data types in the New Project - New Project Paths dialog.
To edit a path, click in the field and either double-click or click Browse to open a
Browse For Folder dialog.
Details
Of the details that can be defined in this dialog, the Project Name is the only
attribute that is required.
Optional details include: Project Number, Project Description, Client Name, Client
Number, and Client Location.
 Exercise 2: Create the Training Project.

Upgrading Legacy Projects
Upgrading Legacy Projects

Note: All legacy projects - pre-V8i (SELECTseries1) must be upgraded to V8i
(SELECTseries1) using the Integrity Checker tools found within Project
Administrator V8i (SELECTseries1). This upgrade must be performed before any
project work is attempted using the V8i (SELECTseries1) applications.
 Exercise 1: Upgrading a project to V8i (SELECTseries1)

1 Start Project Administrator V8i (SELECTseries1).
2 Select Edit > Preferences.
3 Select the Integrity Check tab.
4 Set Enable Integrity Check Engine Globally.
See Project Administrator Help for descriptions of other Integrity Check
options.
5 Click OK.
6 Select a project to be upgraded from the project root tree.
Project Administrator V8i (SELECTseries1) now performs an Integrity
Check on the selected project.
If you set the Integrity Report option, the integrity check results can be
viewed by double-clicking the file <project name>\Integrity.xml.
7 Right-click on the project to upgrade in the project root tree and select
Upgrade > From Integrity Check Results.
Project Administrator V8i (SELECTseries1) now upgrades the selected
project.
Note: Individual projects in a multi-project database can not be upgraded

individually. Project Administrator will upgrade all the projects in a
multi-project database.
Note: Upgrading individual (single database) projects in the project roots that
contain many projects is possible. Therefore new V8i (SELECTseries1)
projects, upgraded V8i (SELECTseries1) projects and pre-V8i
(SELECTseries1) projects can coexist in the same project root.

Before you begin this module, let’s define what you already know.
Questions
1 True/False: Monitoring of plant process systems is achieved by using
instruments.
2 True/False: Instruments shown on a P&ID are graphical images only.
Answers
1 True, plants use instruments to monitor and control process systems.
2 False, Instruments shown on a P&ID are graphical images with data linked
to project databases that are shared between the AutoPLANT software
suites.
Installing the Training Project

Prior to starting Instrumentation and Wiring, a project must be created. A project
has been provided for your convenience. You will need to unzip this project onto
the drive of your choice. The exercise below installs the project onto the C:\ drive.
Note: For Training purposes, the provided project was created using the Access
database format, however; Instrumentation and Wiring does not support the
Access database format for multi-user projects. Bentley recommends that no
less than the MSDE database format be used. SQL and Oracle databases
provide the most stable environments for building projects to be used by
multi-users.
 Exercise 1: Installing the Training Project.

1 Make sure all AutoPLANT applications are closed.
2 Download the file AP_FV8i_IW.exe and place on your desktop.
3 Press Unzip.

4 Extract to the root directory of the C drive (C:\)

5 Press Close.
6 From your Windows Start menu, select Programs > Bentley > Plant V8i >
Project Tools > Project Administrator.
7 From the File menu, press Add Root to display the Browse for Folder
dialog.
Note: In order for this option to be available in the File menu, you must select
something at the primary root level of the navigation tree because you
cannot create a project root directory under a project directory.
8 In the Browse For Folder dialog, select C:\Bentley Training Project.
9 Press OK to accept the name.
Note: The project root folder, C:\ Bentley Training Project now appears in the
navigation tree at a primary level.
Additional training on the Project Administrator utility is covered in the
AutoPLANT Administrator training courses.

New Features of I&W
New Features of I&W

Separate Multiplexer Segment Drawings
Users now have the option to generate Foundation Fieldbus segment drawings
that show the complete segment (including multiplexers), or to split the segment
into separate drawings. The connections to the brick (or Megablock) can be
displayed on one drawing sheet and the connections to the multiplexers on
separate drawing sheets. This prevents complex segment drawings - that
incorporate multiplexers - from becoming too cluttered.
Terminators on H1 I/O Cards
Users now have the ability to specify that the H1 card managing a segments(s)
has a built-in segment terminator.
Composite Drawing Functionality Applicable to any Tstrip

Tag Type
The composite drawing functionality developed to generate segment drawings

can now be applied to other drawing types. This is achieved by adding the tstrip
tag type to a list of tag types that the composite drawing functionality can
recognize. These tstrip tag types can be user-defined as well as BASE tstrip tag
types. This enhancement can be used to generate drawings where the instrument
connections vary from drawing to drawing.
Bulk Datasheet Builder Updating Supplemental Tables
The Bulk Datasheet Builder tool can now leverage data from supplemental tables
added by users, not just the BASE schema tables.
Increased I&W Print Range Selection
A limitation in the number of tstrips that could be selected as the print range for
drawing generation has been removed.
Increase to the Amount of Cards Selected for CARD-LOOP

Drawings
A limitation in the number of I/O cards that could be selected for the generation
of CARD-LOOP type drawings has been removed.

New Features of I&W
Performance Improvements
Performance improvements have been made relating to application startup and

data navigation (especially when running on ORACLE and in multi-project mode).
Multiple Defects Addressed
Critical, Major and Intermediate defects reported to Bentley TSG and detected
during testing have been addressed and tested. A complete list is available from
Bentley TSG.

Building Loop Components
Module Overview
In this module you will build an instrument, create a new terminal strip and cable
for the instrument. You will make a standard for this loop and then build a second
instrument from the standard.
• Working knowledge of Instrumentation.
• Six months experience with AutoCAD or Microstation.
Module Objectives
• Create a new instrument.
• Create a new instrument terminal strip.
• Create a new instrument cable.
• Add an instrument to an existing loop.
• Modify the lists within the loop dialog.
• Create a loop project standard.
• Create an instrument loop from standards
• Build a loop created in Data Manager
Feb-10 65 Building Loop Components


In this module, you learn how to build and modify instruments and other loop
components using the main Instrumentation & Wiring interface. You also learn
how to store these components as project standards, and create new loops from
the project standards. You will also build a loop from a tag that was created
outside of the I&W interface. In this section you learn to create an instrument
loop, add an instrument to an existing loop, and create a new terminal strip and
cable for this instrument.
For each component built in the Instrumentation & Wiring application, there are
parameters which define the components. The most important parameter is the
tag type. The tag type defines what type of component is being built. There are
many types of instruments. For example, transmitters, control valves, flow
elements, etc. A transmitter uses the tag type AT_INST_, whereas a control valve
uses AT_CVALVE. There are also many types of terminal strips. An instrument
terminal strip uses the tag type AT_TSTRIP, but a landing terminal strip uses
AT_LAND_TSTRIP. These distinctions allow the software to store the data for each
component in the proper database tables.
Another parameter is the tag code. The tag code defines the formatting of the tag
number. The tag code provides the ability to modify the tags to fit your
company’s tagging formats. The tag code also tells the software how to parse the
tag information into different fields within the project database tables. Tag types
can be set to be unique or not unique. A unique tag type always informs you that
the tag already exists if you try to use an existing tag number. As with tag
numbers, terminal strips can also be set for uniqueness. By default, tag codes are
set to be unique, but depending on your needs they can be changed. If your field
panels contain terminal strips tagged TS-1, then you will need to set the tag code
to not be unique. For the designer/drafter, these codes will be pre-set by the
project administrator during the creation of the project, but in this training
manual, you will modify some tag codes to meet the needs of the exercises.

Create New Loop from Instrument created in Data Manager

One of the major benefits to the Bentley PLANT suite is the ability to share data
across the applications. The tag 100-FT-300 was previously created and is
available for use in the Instrumentation & Wiring application. Tags created
outside of I&W are stand-alone tags and are not part of an instrument loop. I&W
gives you the capability to generate loops for these tags so that loop diagrams
can be generated.
 Exercise 1: Create a New Loop from an instrument tag created in Data

Manager
1 Select 100-LT-200 from the Instrumentation list.
2 Right-click and select Edit Tag.
The following dialog opens indicating that the instrument tag does not
belong to a loop.
Note: Selecting any instrument from the list that has not been assigned to a
loop number will list all instruments without loop number in the
Allocate Missing Loops dialog. This enables you to create loop numbers
for these instruments automatically by clicking Generate Loop
Numbers.
3 Click Generate Loop Numbers
To assign the tag to a loop.

Hint: If the instrument should belong to a different loop number other than
the one automatically created, then you can manually enter the loop
number for this instrument. The loop number can be either one that
does not exist or does exist in I&W. As an example, if you had a hand
switch for this loop named 200-HS-312 then this could belong to loop
200-F-312. If the loop number were automatically created for this hand
switch, then it would be created as 200-H-312.
Note that a loop number has now populated the LOOP_NO field.

Select Programs > Bentley > Plant V8i > Instrumentation from your Windows
Start menu to launch Instrumentation & Wiring if not already open.
Instrumentation & Wiring provides several views for looking at your data. These
views provide a snapshot of the data contained in the project database. In the
project provided, several loops, field panels and card panels have been created.
Terminal strips and cables were created for each component.
Let’s take a moment to examine some of the views. Double-click on the Cable
Schedule Instrumentation view. This view shows all of the instrument cables that
have been created and provides the source (primary connection component). It
also provides the cable type and length of cable required for the cable tray runs.
A report generated from this view would be helpful to someone cataloging and
ordering instrument cable. Close this view and open the Connection by Cable
view. This view goes into more detail than the Cable Schedule view. It provides
the terminal strips that the cable is attached to, the terminal on the strip that it is
terminated on. A report built from this view would be helpful to a maintenance
crew for tracing wiring problems. The Core Connection view expands the data a
bit further by providing the cable tag information and the wire color. This view is
sorted by the ORD number, but could be easily sorted by terminal strip or
termination point by using the built in tools described below.

AutoPLANT P&ID. Also tags can be deleted/purged from Data Manager
and Instrumentation & Wiring unless the tag has been inserted onto a
P&ID or 3D model.
Note: If DeleteTagNumbers = No, tags deleted on a P&ID have their project

status changed to DEL and all links removed from database. But they
remain in the ProjDB and can be reused.

System Queries
System Queries
The System Queries are views that were created to transfer data from the
database to the loop templates. They are not intended to be customized liberally.
The views should be carefully edited by the project administrator. Custom fields
that have been added to the database tables can be added to the query views so
that the data held in that field can be transferred to a template.
Note: Since no loops have been created in Layout Designer, the views will not contain
data.
Open the System Queries node and double-click on the DocTokensLoop view.
Scroll across the view and look at the fields provided. In the query shown above,
note the field names TSTRIP, L1, L2, LTN and TN. The TSTRIP field will contain the
name of the terminal strip. The L1, L2….fields will contain the link data which will
guide the software to place a graphic symbol on the template. The TN field will
contain the terminal number of the terminal strip. In this view there will be a
record for each terminal on a terminal strip, therefore these views can become
very large.

Reports
Reports
The Reports node contains a list of all of the reports provided by Bentley. These
reports use the views as their data source. The reports can be easily modified
using Microsoft Access Report Builder. Fields from the views can easily be added
or deleted from the reports to access the data that is required by your company.
Expand the Reports node and double-click on the Instrument List report. In the
report shown above, note the TAG Number and Description are shown for the
instruments within the project. This report was set up to show the tag number
with the description listed below. This report could be customized to show the
description as a new column and then the description would be located next to
the tag number. A new report can be designed to show the data found in any
view within the project.

Instrument Templates
Instrument Templates
The instrument templates are drawings that contain tokens that will extract the
data from the database and place onto the drawing. Bentley software provides
the drawings in multiple formats. The .DWG AutoCAD and .DGN Microstation
drawing formats are the most widely used. The templates provided will generate
drawings for loops, terminal connection, and card connection drawings among
others. Below is a template for a loop drawing.
1 Expand the Instrument Templates node.

2 In the Dwg folder find the xai.Dwg template.
3 Depending on your CAD format.
4 Right-click on the Xai template.
5 Select Edit from the context menu.
6 Select the Design tab to view the template.

Electrical Templates
The template shown contains graphics and text. The advantage to having the
tokens as text is that your company drawings can be easily converted to
templates. The graphics will not change, and the text can be converted to tokens.
Note the tokens in the Junction Box column. If you look back at the System
Queries for DocTokenLoop, the data in the TSTRIP field would be used for the
token &I2b.TSTRIP and the data in the first TN field would be used for the token
&I2b1.TN. Tokens are explained in depth in the I&W help file.
Electrical Templates
The Electrical Templates, just as with the Instrument Templates, are CAD based
drawings with graphics and tokens. Bentley provides a Motor drawing and a
single line drawing. When motors and MCC cabinets are built in I&W, these
templates can be used to produce drawings for delivery.
Macros
Macros are available and use the Microsoft Access Macro Builder. Macros would
normally be created for data manipulation.

Tables
Tables
The final node within the main Instrumentation & Wiring interface is the Tables
node.
Located within this node are the primary database tables relating to
Instrumentation. This is an interface for looking at the data within the tables.
Because of the relationships that are created between the tables when a new tag
is generated, you cannot add new data directly to these tables, but you can edit
existing data.
Expand the Tables node and double-click on the INSTR table. Note that all of the
instruments that have been created are located here. Browse across the fields
and note that data has been added to this table that was system generated.
Note: Fields that are grayed out are system fields and cannot be edited.

Module Review
Module Review
Questions:
1 Which command would you use to view the FT instruments only?
2 You should not add data to the tables directly, why?
3 Can you use your own drawings as a template?
Answers:
1 The filter command would be used to view the FT instruments only.
2 Data added to the table directly is data contained within that table only and is
not linked to the other necessary tables.
3 Yes, you can use your own drawings as templates; the text will have to be
changed to a token format so that it will pull the data.

Layout Designer: Connecting
Components
Module Overview
Instrumentation & WiringIn this module, you are introduced to the Layout
Designer, which can be used to connect the individual components of a loop, as
well as to show existing connections between components. Components can be
created within Layout Designer just as they were in the main Instrument & Wiring
interface.
Module Objectives
• Create a new layout.
• Connect components on a layout.
• Allocate I/O to the instruments.
Feb-10 135 Layout Designer: Connecting Components

Layout Designer: Connecting Components
Creating a Layout Drawing

Layout Designer is used to connect the individual components of a loop, as well as
to show existing connections between components. It can also be used to create
several types of layouts. For example, an area layout could be created to show
the connections between all instruments, field panels, and DCS cabinets in a
given area. A different layout could be created to show all field panels or card
panels in the project. A component can reside on more than one layout. You also
have the ability to copy and paste components from multiple layouts. Double-
clicking on a connected instrument opens the Loop Connection view to isolate
the connections of that instrument. Layout Designer also enables you to create
and edit components that are either on a layout or in a list within the Component
Bar. It should be noted that any component that can be built in the main
Instrumentation & Wiring interface can also be created in the Layout Designer
module. Several enhancements have been built into the V8i Edition. Assemblies
can be created of loop configurations and stored to be used within the current
project or with different projects. The dialogs have been opened up to allow you
more flexibility. You will be introduced to the new features within the exercises of
this module.

Questions:
1 What is the significance in color coding the cables on the layout?
2 What is one purpose of the detail connection view?
3 In the connection dialog, can you connect cores individually?
Answers:
1 The color codes give you an instant visual to determine if the cable has been
completely connected to both the source and destination.
2 The detail connection view gives a temporary graphical view of the loop to check

2 Do terminal strips and cables have to be created and designed within the
new or edit loop dialogs?
3 Can a component be shown on more than one layout?
4 Why would you want to place a border around a layout or a detailed
connection?
Answers:
1 The original description indicated that the components were specifically for 200-
JB-300 and when instrument 200-FT-312 was added, the description was no
longer valid.

Questions:
1 Why did you insert the new terminal set instead of add it?
2 Why did you type ELECT into the Cable Application field?
Answers:
1 It does not matter if you insert or add a terminal set; the terminal set was
inserted in this case so the layout would show the distribution panel above the
field panel.
2 ELECT was typed into the Cable Application field so that the cable would
be shown as an electrical cable instead of an instrument cable.

Bentley FOUNDATION Fieldbus Fundamentals 234 Feb-10

Course Overview
Course Description
FOUNDATION fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system
that allows the connection of intelligent field instruments to a DCS system.
Fieldbus technology replaces the expensive, conventional 4 - 20 mA wiring in the

field and enables bi-directional data transmission. The entire communication
between the devices and the automation system as well as the process control
station takes place over the bus system. All operating and device data is
exclusively transmitted over the fieldbus.
The essential objectives in fieldbus technology are to reduce installation costs,

save time and costs due to simplified planning, and improve the operating
reliability of the system due to additional performance features.
This course will concentrate on building FOUNDATION Fieldbus segments

containing instruments, spurs, Megablocks (sometimes referred to as Bricks or
Field Termination Blocks) and trunk cables into an H1 I/O card.

FOUNDATION Fieldbus Terminology
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Terminology

Here are some common Fieldbus protocol terminologies to refer to throughout
your training and onward progression with FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF):
• Brick: a fully connectable passive junction located on the bus.
• Bus: an H1 Fieldbus cable between a host and field devices connected
to multiple segments, sometimes through the use of repeaters.
• Deterministic: the ability to measure the maximum worst-case delay in
delivery of a message between any two nodes in a network. Any
network protocol that depends on random delays to resolve
mastership is nondeterministic. Ethernet is sometimes commonly
nondeterministic. If you have ever heard someone complaining their
Internet bandwidth is horrible some days at home, that would mean a
fluctuation in communication; there is no guarantee on the speed and
transmitting of data in a consistent manor.
• Fieldbus: a digital, two-way, multi-drop communication link among
intelligent measurement and control devices. It serves as a Local Area
Network (LAN) for advanced process control, remote input/output and
high speed factory automation applications.
• FF: Foundation Fieldbus
• FISCO: Fieldbus Intrinsic Safe Concept. Allows more power to an IS
segment for approved FISCO devices, allowing for more devices per IS
segment.
• H1: a Fieldbus network operating 31.25kbit/second.
• H1 Field Device: a Fieldbus device connected directly to an H1
Fieldbus. Typical H1 Field Devices are valves and transmitters.
• H1 Repeater: an active bus-powered or non-bus-powered device used
to extend the range over which signals can be correctly transmitted
and received for a given medium. A maximum of four repeaters and/
or active couplers can be used between any two devices on an H1
Fieldbus network. Repeaters connect segments together to form
larger networks.
• Coupler: a physical interface between a trunk and spur, or a trunk and
a device.

Feb-10 245 Building a FOUNDATION Fieldbus Segment

Building Fieldbus Components

In this module, you learn how to build and modify FOUNDATION Fieldbus
segments and other components using the Instrumentation and Wiring interface.
You also learn how to store these components as project standards, and create
new FOUNDATION Fieldbus segments from the project standards.
For each component built in the Instrumentation and Wiring application, there
are parameters which define the components. The most important parameter is
the tag type. The tag type defines what type or class of component is being built.
There are many types of instruments. Examples include transmitters, control

valves, flow elements, etc. A transmitter uses the tag type AT_INST_, whereas a
control valve uses AT_CVALVE.
A new tag type for the FOUNDATION Fieldbus segment is AT_SEG_FF. The
FOUNDATION Fieldbus segment tag within Instrumentation and Wiring is similar
to the loop tag in that it defines the group of instruments, terminal strips and
cables that make up the segment.
There are also new types of terminal strips. An instrument terminal strip uses the
tag type AT_TSTRIP, but a landing terminal strip uses AT_LAND_TSTRIP. A new tag
type for FOUNDATION Fieldbus is the AT_FB_BRICK which will be used for the
brick/Megablock terminals.
The last tag type to be addressed is for the new FOUNDATION Fieldbus cabling.
The cabling is separated into three types, the spur AT_SPUR, the splice AT_SPLICE
and the trunk cable AT_TRUNK. These distinctions allow the users to easily sort,
filter, and group the different cable types. Instrumentation and Wiring also uses
the tag types to display the correct cables in specific views, reports and tabs
within the interface.

Note: The cable that is generated for a fieldbus segment instrument does not
have the same tag types as those for regular Instrument cables.
Note: FOUNDATION Fieldbus instruments are connected to the bus segment

through a length of cable called a SPUR. A spur can vary in length from
3.28ft (1m) to 394 ft. (120m). Instrumentation and Wiring uses the tag
type AT_SPUR to indicate that a cable is a fieldbus spur cable and not a
regular instrument cable.
Note: A spur that is less than 3.28ft (1m) in length is called a SPLICE.
Instrumentation and Wiring uses the tag type AT_SPLICE to indicate
that a cable is a fieldbus splice cable.

8 Click Next >.
9 Change the Tag Code to N.

10 Type SEGMENT1 in the New Instrument Fieldbus Segment - Step 3 field.
11 Click OK.
12 Type 100-TT-202 in the New Instr - Step 3 field.

13 Click OK.
14 Click Finish.
The New Fieldbus Segment dialog opens with the All tab selected. It shows
that a segment tag, instrument tag, terminal strip tag, and cable tag have
been created. Although these components have a tag number allocated in
the database, the details for each have not been defined.
The All tab displays the contents of the segment, including the tag types
for each component. The Segment, Instr, Tstrip, Spur/Splice, and Doc tabs
display only components of that tag type. The properties for the selected
components are listed in the window along the right-hand side of the
dialog.
Notice the Auto Rename check boxes in the left-hand pane. If this
segment is saved as a standard and used as a template in creating future
segments, the components of the new segments will automatically inherit
new tag numbers for the components that have the Auto Rename check
box set. Additionally, if you change the name of the current segment
within this dialog, then all components of the loop will be automatically
renamed if the tag component parts match.

To place a check in the Auto Rename check box, you must select the item
in the list and then click Setup. From the Tag Attributes dialog you and
change the value for the check box. You can also place a check mark next
to the component under its specific tab. For example check instrument
components while the Instr tab is selected.
Within the Standards group box there are two buttons, Build From and
Save As. The Build From button is used to select a standard from which the
current segment will be defined. The Save As button will save the current
segment configuration as a standard to be used again.
Within the Tags group box there are five buttons: New, Edit, Delete,
Remove and Setup. The New button will create a new tag within the loop,
the Edit button will allow you to edit the tag, the Delete button will delete
the selected tag from the project database, the Remove button will
remove the tag from the segment but not delete from the tag from the
database, and the Setup button will allow you to change the properties of
the tag.

the current Tstrip. The Terminal window allows you to define the number
of individual terminals to be included in the new terminal set. The Repeat
window allows you to type the number of repeated connection rows to be
inserted into the current Tstrip in this field, or use the spinner button to
select the appropriate value.
Note: A row refers to an individual terminal and a row set refers to a group of
rows that are wired for one function. For example, a powered
instrument would have a row set of 3 rows for the powered cable and a
row set of 3 rows for the instrument cable. The row set definitions are
critical for building a loop in the Detail Connection Window and auto-
generated loops.
To select from a list of pre-defined standard row sets, click Build From to
display the Build From Standard Terminal Set dialog. To save the current
row set details as a standard which can be used as a template in building

Building Fieldbus Panels
Building a Fieldbus Panel with a Single Brick and No Terminator

In this section you learn to create a new fieldbus panel, design terminal strips and
Bricks/Megablocks within the panel, and design the multi-core cables and trunk
cables that connect them. The document application type used by fieldbus panels
is a new feature in I&W called composite drawings. Composite drawings are half
template-based (using tokens) and half auto-generated. One part of the drawing
remains graphically static, with only the data changing as it would in a template.
The other part of the drawing is re-created from scratch and the symbols are
inserted each time the drawing is regenerated.
During the creation of the bricks, terminal strips, and devices you will be
introduced to new fields in each component’s Properties Window that direct the
software on how to generate the drawing. To explain, we must first go back in
time to when the spread-sheet column theory was introduced. The table below
explains how the templates are divided into columns by alpha character.
Loop Columns Field Columns Card Columns

A B I J K W X Y Z
Tag Local Secondary Primary Marshalling CB, Relay Card Card Card
Number Junction Junction Junction Strip or Barrier Terminal Terminals Address
Box Box Box Strip
This configuration handles a majority of the instrumentation schemes. If

necessary, additional columns can be used in order to support even more
complicated schemes. The following diagram shows a typical instrument

configuration and how each of the components fit into this spreadsheet-type
view.
Two new properties have been created for bricks, terminals strips and devices.
These are ConPos Type (Connection Position Type) and Connection Position.
ConPos Type can be either Dynamic (default) or Fixed. Connection Position can be
A to Z as shown above.
If the ConPos Type is set to Dynamic, then the Connection Position individual
terminals on a brick, terminal strip or device can change automatically depending
on how many levels of connections are made. For example, if an instrument is
connected directly onto a junction box terminal strip, the instrument terminals
would be on connection position A and the connected junction box terminals
would be on connection position B, i.e. the next connection position from left to
right. If the designer then introduced a new junction box in-between the original
instrument and the original junction box, the new connected junction box
terminals would be on connection position B and the original connected junction
box terminals would dynamically move along one connection position to C. This
method of working is perfectly acceptable for relatively simple control networks.
However, if you are attempting to model more complicated control networks
(with varying levels of interposing panels), you can end up with different
terminals, on the same terminal strip, on different connection positions. This can
make the layout of templates tricky.
If you set the ConPos Type to Fixed for a brick, terminal strip or device, the
terminals associated to that brick, terminal strip or device are locked to the
specified connection position irrespective of how many levels of connections
come before them. In the example above, the primary Junction Box terminal strip

is fixed to connection position J. By specifying connection position J, the designer

has 9 connection positions to place/connect instruments and interposing panels
(A to I) to the left of the primary junction box. One benefit of this is that the
layout of the templates is made simpler as all the tokens relating to the primary
junction box terminals use the connection position of J.
These new concepts will become clearer as you work through the following
exercises and fix bricks, terminal strips and devices to different connection
positions.

The New Fieldbus Panel dialog is very similar to the New Fieldbus Segment
dialog except for the tabs. All of the buttons along the bottom of the
dialog operate just as in the New Fieldbus Segment dialog detailed in the
previous module. The Dev tab is used in the Fieldbus Panels and Card
Panel dialogs for devices such as relays, I.S. barriers and segment
terminators to be tagged and designed. The New Fieldbus Panel dialog
defaults to display the All tab, which shows that a tag was created for the
junction box, terminal strip, cable and document.
 Exercise 2: Design a Brick/Megablock in a Field Panel

Two terminal strips will be designed in this section. Terminal strip 100 was
created with the panel and will be used for the brick. The second terminal
strip to be created will be the marshalling strip to marshal the brick signals
into a multi-core cable. The brick will be the landing point for the incoming

instrument spurs. The brick contains 14 ports, 12 ports for instrument signals
and 2 ports for the trunk cables into and out of the brick.

The next step is to create a small marshalling tstrip inside the fieldbus panel.
This tstrip can be used to marshal the signals from multiple segment bricks
and carry them back to the control system via a single multi-core cable.
As an example, the fieldbus panel could contain 5 bricks with 12 instruments
connected to each. All 60 signals could be marshaled within the fieldbus panel
and carried back to the control system via a 5-pair cable.

• Add a new H1 card to the existing panel.
Feb-10 289 Building I/O Card Panels for H1 Cards

Creating New I/O Card Panels

In this section you learn to create an I/O card panel from scratch. The panel will
contain two Foundation Fieldbus H1 cards. H1 is a term used to describe a
fieldbus network operating at 31.25 kbit/second.
The H1 cards will use a new tag type called AT_FF_CRD. The first card created will
be designated the primary card for the fieldbus network and the second will be
designated the backup card, therefore providing redundancy to the network.
Each H1 card will be designed with four Ports to allocate segments and
instrument signals to.
You will add two new devices called power conditioners. A power conditioner is
used to connect a conventional power source to a Fieldbus segment. The power
conditioners will be connected to the H1 cards via internal panel cables. If the
power conditioner is isolated this protects against communication errors
resulting from crosstalk between fieldbus segments and more than one earth
fault resulting in the failure of segments.
Power conditioners can be isolated or non-isolated and can monitor the power
supply and segment operation and generate an alarm in case of failure.

1 Why did you have to connect the individual cores when connecting the
instruments to the brick?
2 Can you connect cores to more than one terminal strip?
Answers
1 The connection of the individual cores allows you to connect the positive
and negative cores when they are in different arrangements.
2 You can connect cores to different terminal strips within the same panel.

Questions
1 What components are used to build a FOUNDATION Fieldbus segment?
2 What is a splice?
3 What is a trunk?
4 What is a spur?
5 What factors come into play when building a network spanned over a
large distance with baud rates of 500kbps, 250kbps, and 125kbps?
6 What is the difference between a Segment and a Network?
7 What is a terminator and what does it do?

Course Review
Answers
1 FOUNDATION Fieldbus card, power conditioner (if not already built into
the card internally), marshalling rack, junction box Tstrip, Brick(s)/
termination blocks/megablocks, repeaters, instruments, spurs, trunks,
terminators (internal/external).
2 A splice is a cable/pair of wires that taps off a Fieldbus device (brick) or the
trunk itself and is less than 1 meter in length.
3 The trunk is the main communication cable. Components attached to the
network are tapped/ branched off this cable. A segment can have many
trunks depending on which style of topology is being utilized.
4 A spur cable or pair of wire that is branched off of a Fieldbus device (brick)
or the trunk itself and is larger than 1 meter in length
5 There is a direct relationship between cable length and baud rate. As the
baud rate speed increases, the cable length must decrease. As the current
consumption increases or the cable length gets to a certain maximum
limit (depending on what type of Fieldbus cable you are using) you will
have to use repeaters to extend the network by creating another
segment. As the baud rate decreases, the cable length can then be
increased.
6 Think of a phone system in a big city consisting of many neighborhoods.
The city, as a whole, is the network. The neighborhoods within that city
are called segments; by putting them all together they create the
network. They all come back to one central location. In our case, it is
much simpler where the entire network is connected.
7 Terminators are devices that can be built into a power conditioner on a
card, a T-Branch/Splitter or a brick, or can be an external device on the
network all by itself. Terminators play an important role; they eliminate
noise (echoing) on the network. Eliminating noise on the segment/
network reduces the chance of the network either crashing or losing data.
Terminators must be placed at both ends of a segment (First point being
on the Card or power conditioner, Second point being on the opposite
side of the segment furthest from the Master Card or power conditioner,
depending on the manufacturer of the hardware you are using).
Remember a network can consist of many segments; therefore it can also
have many terminators (one on each end of a segment).

Mapped Datasheets
Module Overview
The new Datasheets engine allows users to store every field on a datasheet to the
project database. The engine employs an object-based table that relates
properties to a datasheet template, automatically transferring those properties
to any component assigned to the template. These properties can be viewed,
imported and exported outside of the datasheets environment via the Data
Manager or I&W interface.
