Abstract
For today’s fieldbus installations in process automation, FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 and PROFIBUS PA, installation and wiring work currently requires tedious manual and typically incomplete methods for checkout and validation. New online advanced physical layer diagnostic systems automate construction and pre-commission test and report generation, up to the point of loop check-out. Fully automated fieldbus test methodology realizes better installation quality and time savings.
This article describes a newly revised, significantly shortened and vastly simplified test procedure applicable to fieldbus systems. Additional guidelines for troubleshooting described herein will further enhance commissioning and testing work.
