SUMMARY
52
Summary - HART Defacto standard for smart devices (~20 years) Benefits of 4-20 signal and digital info Can be used in IS areas Slow digital communications Limited multi-drop capabilities Mediocre host support (improving) Continues to grow Wireless HART
Summary - MODBUS Defacto standard for PLC and IPC (~30 years) Large installed base Mostly for simple and PLC interfaces Cannot be used in IS areas Fast digital communications Tested proven technology Custom host interfaces
Summary - Profibus DP Large installed base Mostly for manufacturing automation Cannot be used in IS areas Fast digital communications Tested proven technology Custom host interfaces
Summary - Profibus PA, ProfiNet PA is mostly found in Germanic Countries Can be used in IS areas Digital communications fast enough No control in the field ProfiNet is the backbone solution
Summary - FF H1, FF HSE Digital replacement of 4-20 Can be used in IS areas Digital communications fast enough Control in the field HSE is the backbone solution (not well received)
Fieldbus Technology Challenges Users see the following as some of the challenges Selecting the best combination of bus technologies for the application Integration options and solutions The costs of the technology Technology training & development at all levels of the organization Testing and interoperability issues Next generation of products must simplify the entire process and reduce the pain Simplify licensing
Common Mistakes
Wait for the market to decide which technology will win Building a plan that positions fieldbus as the solution Think that fieldbus implementation is fast and easy The competition is going to wait to see how this all shakes out Think that you need to do fieldbus by yourself
Recommendations
Contact your key suppliers to discuss their fieldbus plans and activities Create or update your device communication strategies Review your current installations
Update to current standards Identify new market expectations
Get key staff trained on target technologies Budget appropriate resources and funding to match communication strategies & implementations Prepare an integration position to include technology on key projects Use fieldbus technology to improve overall plant efficiency
Summary IEC 61158 Specification provides a single document for comparison of technologies. Specification does not provide the end user with a single best option.
Conclusion Commonly accepted that plants must implement intelligent devices and common communication technology. All technologies discussed meet the criteria for viable technology. Application of technology is your guide.
