FOXBORO FBM233 Redundant Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) Module

The FBM233 connects to an Ethernet switch or hub to communicate with one external device or up to 64 external devices.

The combination of a pair of modules provides redundancy at the fieldbus module (FBM) level.

In this configuration, one FBM233 is the master and the other is the tracking module.

Input points on the control station are updated from device input points received on the network connected to the master.

Device output points (depending on the I/O driver) are written by both the master and the trace module.

If the I/O driver detects a problem (e.g. any device loses its heartbeat), a role switch is automatically performed, or the user can switch roles at any time via the SMDH.

Functional Features

Key features of the FBM233 include

– Redundant 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network transfer rates to and from field devices

– Communication with up to 64 field devices

– Downloadable I/O software drivers from available protocol libraries

– Up to 2000 DCI block connections

– Integration of field device data into the Foxboro DCS control database using an Ethernet connection

– Field Installation

– G3 rated (harsh) environments.

I/O Driver

The FBM is a general purpose Ethernet hardware module that can be loaded with different software drivers.

These drivers configure the FBM to recognise the specific protocol used by the device.

Some of these software drivers are standard products. Other custom drivers can be developed to meet specific needs.

These drivers are dynamically downloaded to the FBM233 with software code specifically designed to interface with the protocols of third party devices.

The configuration steps and software requirements for each driver are specific to the device integrated into the system.

Ethernet Link Setup

Data communication between the FBM233 and field devices takes place via the RJ-45 interface on the front of the FBM233 module.

The RJ-45 connector of the FBM233 can be connected to the field device via a hub or an Ethernet switch.

The FBM233 connects to an Ethernet switch or hub to communicate with one external device or up to 64 external devices.

Configurator

The FDSI Configurator sets up the FBM233 ports and XML-based device profiles.

The Port Configurator makes it easy to set communication parameters (e.g., Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), IP address) for each port.

The Device Configurator is not required for all devices, but when it is, it can configure device-specific and point-specific considerations

(e.g., scan rate, address to which data is to be transferred, and amount of data to be transferred in a single transaction).

Emerson Rosemount 4088 Multivariable Transmitter

Rosemount 4088 Product Overview

Industry-Leading Performance and Functionality

Designed for optimal flow performance, the Rosemount 4088 uses superior sensor technology to deliver unmatched accuracy in a wide range of operating conditions.

Superior performance allows you to better control your operations and maximise profits.

Flexible communication with Modbus® or Bristol® standards

Asynchronous/Synchronous Protocol (BSAP)/MVS

Designed to integrate easily with existing or new systems, the Rosemount 4088 can

communicate using Modbus or BSAP/MVS protocols. Baud rates up to 19200 allow traffic computers to communicate faster and more efficiently.

The Rosemount 4088’s local LCD display shows both measurement data and the results of the flow computer’s calculations.

such as “Instantaneous Flow” or “Accumulated Flow for the last 24 hours”. This not only simplifies maintenance, but also makes well operations clearer.

Plunger Lift Measurement Range Expanded

The Rosemount 4088 extended range option incorporates new sensor technology that ensures peak flow rates are captured without compromising performance in the normal operating range.

This helps eliminate accounting discrepancies that can lead to disputes.

Reduced Power Consumption

The advanced electronics in the Rosemount 4088 consume less power, which means a single power supply or solar panel can run more transmitters.

Reverse wiring protection also ensures that transmitters are not damaged if the power supply is incorrectly connected.

Accurate RTD measurements through sensor matching

The Rosemount 4088 reduces process temperature and flow errors by using Callendar-Van Dusen constants to define the unique characteristics of RTD.

Seamless Transition from Legacy Products

To ensure a smooth transition from Emerson legacy products, the Rosemount 4088 will communicate using the same protocols as direct replacements.

This will allow users to quickly replace legacy products with the Rosemount 4088, minimising downtime and reducing engineering and installation costs.

Reduced engineering and installation costs

Excellent Warranty and Stability

The Rosemount 4088 is built to last, with a stability specification of up to 5 years and a 12-year warranty. This helps ensure that your investment in Rosemount technology continues to pay off for years to come.

Scanning mirrors and objective lenses with optimised mounts for all typical laser types and working areas.

types and working areas.

In order to make full use of the standard objective lens, the two scanning axes of the hurrySCAN® 25 have different maximum scanning angles.

This produces an elliptical image field in which the larger half-axis is perpendicular to the entrance beam axis.

Controls

All scanning heads in these series are equipped with analogue or digital standard interfaces and can be easily controlled via SCANLAB’s RTC® control panel. All scanning heads are available with an optional fibre optic data interface.

Installation regulations

The hurrySCAN® 20. 25 and 30 have threaded and unthreaded holes on the beam entry side of the housing for easy mounting of the scanning head and fibre optic output.

On the beam exit side, threaded holes are available for mounting additional components such as cross jets, illumination, distance sensors or heat shields.

Cooling

The hurrySCAN ® 20. 25 and 30 scanning heads offer water-cooled interfaces for the entrance aperture, the electronics and the galvanometer scanner, as well as air-cooling for the dedusting mirror.

This ensures constant operating conditions and excellent long-term stability, thus guaranteeing reliable operation even in high laser power applications.

The hurrySCAN ® 7. 10 and 14 are also available with optional cooling.

Options

– Expandable to a 3-axis scanning system with varioSCAN (hurrySCAN ® 20. 25 and 30 also with varioSCAN 40FLEX)

– Can be equipped with additional reference sensor systems (10 mm aperture and above)

– Available with high-performance lightweight mirrors (14 mm aperture and above)

– Scanning modules without housing available (except for hurrySCAN ® 30)

– Available with water cooling system (standard on hurrySCAN ® 20. 25 and 30)

– In extreme conditions, the scanning mirrors can be air-cooled (standard for hurrySCAN ® 20. 25 and 30)

– All scanning heads can be monitored via a camera adapter.

Quality

The high quality of SCANLAB scanning heads is the result of many years of experience in the development and manufacture of galvanometer scanning heads.

The experience gained in the development and manufacture of galvanometer scanners and scanning systems is the result of this experience. In addition, each scanning system must first pass the SCANcheck aging test before it can be shipped to the customer.
