Glossary of Terms
The following terminology, used throughout this users guide, relates to the HART FBMs and
their associated equipment.
Baseplate
The baseplate provides mounting for DIN rail mounted FBMs and FCMs
(see Figure 4-1 on page 13). A standard 200 Series baseplates eight
mounting positions can accommodate up to eight FBMs, or a combination of FBMs and FCMs. A Compact 200 Series 16-slot horizontal baseplate can accommodate up to 16 Compact 200 Series FBMs. The
baseplate also provides the necessary connectors for dc power, the Foxboro
Evo module Fieldbus, and termination cables.
Control Station
This is any Foxboro Evo module that effects process control via the Foxboro Evo Ethernet trunk Fieldbus. An example is the Field Control Processor 280 (FCP280). The control station controls process variables using
algorithms contained in functional control blocks configured by on-site
process engineers to implement the desired control strategies.
DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem

The DIN rail mounted subsystem provides a high-speed communication
interface between the host control processor (for example a Foxboro
control station) and field I/O sensors and actuators. DIN rail mounted
devices, which include FBMs, FCMs and supporting cables and connectors, mount on a baseplate which, in turn, mounts on a DIN rail. This
subsystem is described in detail in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users
Guide (B0400FA).
DCI
Distributed Control Interface (DCI) control blocks are Foxboro control

blocks specially designed to handle HART-related digital I/O communications (see block descriptions on Chapter 5 Control Block Configuration Information). They are used in conjunction with the FBM to

Preface
interface digital field device I/O communications with the Foxboro control station.
ECB
An equipment control block, created for each FBM and external field
device, provides a holding place for the software data associated with
that FBM or external field device.
FBM
Fieldbus Modules provide the interface between process sensors/actuators

and the Fieldbus in a standard Foxboro Evo system.
FBM214/214b/215/216/216b/218/244/245/247 are examples of the
many types of FBMs offered as part of the Foxboro Evo system.
FCM
The Fieldbus Communications Module is an interface which allows the

HART Communication Interface Modules (and other DIN rail
mounted FBMs) to communicate with the control station via the Foxboro
Evo 10 Mbps Ethernet trunk Fieldbus. It converts the 10 Mbps Ethernet
signals used by the control station to 2 Mbps signals used by the FBM,
and vice versa.
Fieldbus
This term applies in general to two specific buses: the10 Mbps Ethernet
trunk Fieldbus and the 2 Mbps Module Fieldbus. (Figure 1-2 shows how
these buses are used in the Foxboro Evo communication network.)
FoxCAE
Computer-Aided Engineering software, part of the Foxboro Evo Process

Automation System, is used to configure control strategies.
HART
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer - Rosemount product, now

industry standard for digital communications from a DCS to transmitters
and positioners.
IFDC
The Foxboro Evo Intelligent Field Device Configurator is a software package providing remote bidirectional communications with the Foxboro and
Eckardt intelligent field devices.
Letterbug
This is an identifier for Foxboro stations and control devices, particularly

for Fieldbus Modules (FBMs).
Parameter
This is a named element in the data structure of a device function block,

ECB, or Foxboro Evo control block.
Redundant Adapter
The redundant adapter, used with the redundant FBM pairs (FBM216,
FBM216b or FBM218), provides a Y connection between the FBM
pairs and the associated Termination Assembly (TA). This allows either
module in the pair to communicate with the field devices.
TA
xiv
The termination assembly provides the means of attaching the HART

Communication Interface Modules to the field devices.
1. Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the HART Communication Interface Modules, and the
network configuration in which they are used.
Overview
The HART Communication Input/Output Interface Modules
(FBM214/214b215/216/216b/218/244/245) and the HART-capable FBM247 provide analog
and digital communications to and from HART compliant field devices. They also support standard 4-20mA signals from analog devices. Each of these FBMs contains eight channels that are
group isolated for the FBM214/216 and individually isolated for the
FBM214b/215/216b/218/244/245 and FBM247.
The following HART FBMs are available as either Compact or standard 200 Series FBMs:
FBM214/214b Each channel provides bidirectional digital communications with a
field device, and performs analog to digital conversion on the 4 to 20 mA input control signal from that device.
FBM215 Each channel provides bidirectional digital communications with a field
device, and performs digital to analog conversion to generate the 4 to 20 mA output
control signal to that device.
FBM216/216b These modules, used in pairs, provide a redundant version of the

FBM214/214b.
FBM218 This module, used in pairs, provides a redundant version of the FBM215.
Compact 200 Series FBMs provide the same functionality as standard 200 Series FBMs while utilizing a smaller footprint, as shown in Figure 1-1. While a standard 200 Series FBM baseplate
supports up to eight standard 200 Series FBMs, a Compact 200 Series 16-slot horizontal baseplate supports up to sixteen Compact 200 Series FBMs in a similar amount of space. Compact
200 Series FBMs have the same software as their standard 200 Series FBM counterparts and the
Foxboro Evo Control Core Services does not distinguish between them. The Compact 200 Series
I/O subsystem is described in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA) and Compact
200 Series I/O Subsystem Overview (PSS 31H-2COV B3).

The following HART FBMs are available only as standard 200 Series FBMs:
FBM244 Each input channel accepts an analog sensor input such as a 4 to 20 mA
transmitter or a self-powered 20 mA source. Each output channel drives an external
load and produces a 0 to 20 mA output. It supports any mix of standard 4 to 20 mA
devices and HART devices.
FBM245 These modules, used in pairs, provide a redundant version of the
FBM244.
FBM247 - This HART-capable FBM supports a wide range of analog, digital or pulse
I/O capabilities, including support for HART I/O signals. Each channel is individually configurable, allowing multiple types of I/O signals to connect to a single
FBM247. Refer to the FBM247 Current/Voltage Analog/Digital/Pulse I/O Configurable Channel Interface Module with HART Support section in DIN Rail
Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA) to learn about the full capabilities of this
FBM.
HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 communicate with the fieldbus I/O devices on a
master/slave basis. HART is a communications standard which supports digital communication
between a master (one of the HART FBMs) and a broad range of slave devices which include
transmitters and actuators. Each HART FBM can service up to eight slave devices in a point-topoint network configuration; multidrop network configurations are not supported. During normal operation, each communication is initiated by the HART FBM, which serves as the primary
master. The slave devices can only acknowledge received messages, or send messages to the master
when requested to do so.
The FBM247 can support HART field devices in a similar manner as the HART FBMs, in addition to the I/O signals described in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA).
The HART communication protocol is based on the Bell 202 telephone communication standard
and operates according to the frequency shift keying (FSK) principle. This is in addition to the 4
to 20 mA normal analog input or analog output signal (depending on the FBM model). The digital signal is made up of two frequencies, 1,200 Hz and 2,200 Hz, representing respectively the
bits 1 and 0. The sine waves of these two frequencies are superimposed on the direct current
(analog) signal to provide simultaneous analog and digital communications. The FSK signal
2

B0400FF Rev M
allows communication at 1200 baud. Burst mode of communication is not used by the HART
FBMs.
The FBMs operate in a point-to-point configuration. In this mode, the traditional 4-20 mA signal is used to communicate one main process variable. The HART communication digital signal
provides access to secondary process variables, configuration parameters, and other device data
that can be used for operations, commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostic purposes.
Figure 1-2 shows the relationship between the various equipment elements in the subsystem. The
HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 provide a communication interface between the
Foxboro control station and the HART I/O field devices. Termination assemblies (TAs) provide
for physical connection of the field devices to the FBMs.

Physically, the FBMs mount on a baseplate that is DIN rail mounted. For detailed information on
the functional aspects of the FCMs and other DIN rail mounted equipment, refer to DIN Rail
Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA).
The redundant adapter, used with the redundant FBM pairs (FBM216/216b, FBM218 and
FBM245), provides a Y connection between the FBM pairs and the associated TA. This allows
either module in the pair to communicate with the field devices.
As well, a baseplate-mounted termination assembly (TA) is available for the HART-capable
FBM247 (as well as other non-HART FBMs, as discussed in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users
Guide (B0400FA)). Using a baseplate-mounted TA eliminates the need to have a separate marshalling cabinet for the FBMs I/O, or for the spacing requirements needed to mount a separate,
standard termination assembly. This TA mounts directly onto the field I/O connectors of the 200
Series baseplate, in a similar manner as the redundant adapter. This TA supports two, non-redundant FBMs, provided that these FBMs are installed in adjacent slots as described in Redundant
Adapter and Baseplate-Mounted TA Installation on page 16.
B0400FF Rev M
1. Introduction
The field devices can be configured using any of the following:

The Foxboro Intelligent Field Device Configurator (IFDC) Version 2.2, which is an
optional component of a Foxboro Evo control system
A hand held configurator connected to the active (operational) link between the TA
and the devices.
Software residing in the HART FBMs, control station, and Foxboro Evo control workstations
provide full support of the HART communication protocol. On the Foxboro Evo system side, the
HART FBMs interface with the control station and other hardware and software elements of the
Foxboro Evo system to provide proven control, alarming, trending, and display capabilities. The
major functional components of this software are:
Run-time Software Supports the reading and writing of data to and from the field
device, treating these data as standard field I/O values in Foxboro Evo system. This
includes Distributed Control Interface (DCI) control blocks, which are specifically
designed to interface I/O signals from field devices.
Foxboro Evo System Software Integrates the HART FBMs and connected field
devices into the overall Foxboro Evo system equipment configuration. This integration is consistent with the integration of other Foxboro Evo FBM types, and the field
devices to which they connect.
Diagnostics Startup and maintenance diagnostics are provided for the HART FBMs.
HART Support in Foxboro Evo Control Software and

Foxboro Control Software (FCS)
HART support is provided as part of the software packages included in Foxboro Control Software (FCS) v3.x or earlier. However, in FCS v4.x or Foxboro Evo Control Software v5.0 or later,
additional functionality was added to the HART FBMs. This functionality is supported by a separate software package called Field Device Manager for HART, which is described in the Field
Device Manager for HART Devices Installation Guide. This new Field Device Manager for HART
software must be purchased separately from www.BuyAutomation.com.
If upgrading from FCS v3.x to FCS v4.x or Foxboro Evo Control Software v5.0 or later, or installing a new Foxboro Evo system with FCS v4.x or the Control Software v5.0 or later, be aware that
you must purchase and install this new Field Device Manager for HART to support HART FBMs
on your Foxboro Evo system.
2. Quick-Start Example
This chapter provides an example configuration, which provides most of the information you
need to get your Foxboro Evo system and HART subsystem up and running in the shortest
possible time.
A typical sequence for installing and configuring a HART subsystem in a Foxboro Evo system is
outlined in Figure 2-1. Following this diagram is the procedure, whose steps are keyed to the

3. Functional Characteristics
This chapter addresses various requirements and constraints relating to the connection of the
HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 to the field devices or HART I/O signals, and
their operation in conjunction with the control station.
When planning for installation and operation of the HART FBMs and the associated field
devices, or the HART-capable FBM247 and its associated HART I/O signals (or field devices),
you must consider the following factors:
FBM functional and environmental constraints
Input/Output Cabling.
Functional and Environmental Constraints

The HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 are designed for use with the Foxboro Evo
system hardware and software. The FBMs communicate with the Foxboro Evo system via a
2 Mbps HDLC Module Fieldbus, and coexist on this fieldbus with other Fieldbus Modules
(FBMs).
HART FBM operation requires I/A Series software, version 6.4-v8.8 or Foxboro Evo Control
Core Services v9.0 or later.
NOTE
Foxboro Evo Control Core Services v9.0 or later supports all HART FBMs.
For legacy systems with I/A Series software:
- FBM214b and FBM216b require I/A Series software, version 8.2-v8.8.
- FBM244 and FBM245 require I/A Series software, version 8.6-v8.8.
- The HART-capable FBM247 requires I/A Series software, version 8.7-v8.8.
- The Compact 200 Series FBMs require I/A Series software v8.8 or Foxboro Evo
Control Core Services v9.0 or later.
Refer to the following documents for functional and environmental specifications relating to the
FBM214/214b/215/244, the redundant FBM216/216b/218/245 and FBM247 modules and the

NOTE
The HART-capable FBM247 supports a wide range of analog, digital or pulse I/O
capabilities, including support for HART I/O signals. Refer to the FBM247 Current/Voltage Analog/Digital/Pulse I/O Configurable Channel Interface Module with
HART Support section in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA) to
learn about the full capabilities of FBM247.
HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 are used in the configuration shown in Figure 1-2
on page 3. Factors to be considered when designing a fieldbus network configuration for your
particular application are:
Input/output cabling Type, length, and the use of baluns
Intrinsic safety.
These factors are addressed in the following subsections.
NOTE
These subsections apply only to HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247
when connected to HART field devices. To learn about cabling for the FBM247
when connected non-HART field devices, refer to the Field Signal Connections
section in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA).
Input/Output Cabling
The basic cabling scheme is shown in Figure 1-2 on page 3 and the actual connections to the TAs
are addressed in Chapter 4 Equipment Installation. The following paragraphs provide additional information.
Cable Type
Cable Type A, standard shielded twisted pair (STP) cabling, is used to wire the field devices to
termination assemblies (TAs). Unshielded cable may be used only when it has been conclu-
10
B0400FF Rev M
sively demonstrated that ambient noise does not affect communication. For details, refer to
HART FSK physical layer specification document HCF_SPEC-54.
Cable Length
The maximum permissible distance from a HART FBM to a compliant field device is a function
of the device type. For details, refer to HART FSK physical layer specification document
HCF_SPEC-54.
Use of Baluns
A cable balun module, shown in Figure 3-1, is used to maintain digital communication line balance for Intelligent Field Devices connected in FBM loops that are powered from a common
external power supply. This powering method effectively connects one line of each loop to a single
point. Without the use of a balun, the multiple common connections at the external power source
would cause cross-talk between the loops.
Figure 3-1. Cable Balun Module
Figure 3-2 shows typical hookup. The Cable Balun module provides protection to the HART signal and eliminates cross-talk between the channels and/or disruption to the HART signal. They
are recommended when the HART protocol on the HART FBMs is being used and the customer
is providing external power to the loop. The use of an external power supply common to two or
more loops requires a Cable Balun Module to maintain communication signal line balance.

Figure 3-2. Use of a Cable Balun (Externally Powered)
There is no signal isolation circuitry in the Cable Balun that would provide any isolation when
used on the 4-20mA signal. However, if high frequency noise is present on the lines, the baluns
can also tend to cancel out this external interference noise.
Intrinsic Safety Considerations

The HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 do not offer intrinsically safe operation. A
safety barrier can be used as shown in Figure 3-2 (for externally powered field devices) or
Figure 3-3 (for module powered devices). For additional information on intrinsic safety considerations, refer to the HART Application Guide, HCF LIT 34.

For the available termination cables, refer to Polyurethane Termination Cables and Part Numbers, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) Termination Cables and Part Number, and Hypalon
TA Cables and Part Numbers in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA).
For general instructions on installing the FBMs and TAs, refer to DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem
Users Guide (B0400FA). The non-redundant FBM214/214b/215/244/247 can be located in any
slot on the baseplate, with the associated TAs connected to the associated cable connectors.
NOTE
FBM247s may use baseplate-mounted TAs, which mount directly onto the field
I/O connectors of the 200 Series baseplate. A baseplate-mounted TA provides field
I/O wiring support for two FBM247s in adjacent positions on the baseplate (positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6 or 7 and 8).
The redundant FBM216/216b/218/245 require a redundant adapter. They must be located in
adjacent positions on the baseplate:
For the Compact 200 Series 16-slot horizontal baseplate, positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5
and 6, 7 and 8, 9 and 10 (the second 1 and 2), 11 and 12 (the second 3 and 4), 13 and
14 (the second 5 and 6), or 15 and 16 (the second 7 and 8)
For standard 200 Series FBM baseplates, positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, or 7 and
8.
HART FBMs, FBM247 and Termination Assembly

Installation
Install the HART FBMs, FBM247, redundant adapters and TAs per the installation instructions
The following subsections describe how to install and wire the FBMs TAs and redundant
adapters.
Redundant Adapter and Baseplate-Mounted TA

Installation
The redundant adapter provides a redundant I/O connection to a single termination assembly
(TA). Contained in the adapter are the input sense resistors and output diodes required for operation of a redundant FBM216/216b/218/245 pair with its associated TA.
As well, the baseplate-mounted termination assembly (TA) provides an I/O connection to two
non-redundant FBMs, such as the HART-capable FBM247 (as well as other non-HART FBMs,
such as the FBM202 and FBM203, as discussed in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide
(B0400FA)), provided that these FBMs are installed in adjacent slots as described below.
Using a baseplate-mounted TA eliminates the need to have a separate marshalling cabinet for the
FBMs I/O, or for the spacing requirements needed to mount a separate, standard termination
assembly. A baseplate-mounted TA mounts directly onto the field I/O connectors of the standard
200 Series baseplate, in a similar manner as the redundant adapter. (This TA is not supported on
the Compact 200 Series 16-slot horizontal baseplate.)
16
B0400FF Rev M
The redundant adapter and the baseplate-mounted TA are position dependent, supporting field
I/O wiring for two FBMs in paired baseplate slots (for example, in positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5
and 6, or 7 and 8), since their connectors must engage the corresponding pairs of connectors on
the baseplate, adjacent to their associated FBM pair.
NOTE
On the horizontal baseplate, paired FBMs (and thus the redundant adapter) are
placed in adjacent odd/even paired positions on the baseplate (see Figure 4-2). On
the vertical baseplate, paired FBMs may be placed in any adjacent odd/even paired
positions.
For a redundant pair of HART FBMs, attach their redundant adapter onto the two I/O connectors which correspond to the FBM pairs slot position on the baseplate. Figure 4-3 shows installation of a redundant adapter for the FBM216. The redundant adapters for the FBM216b,
FBM218 and FBM245 are similar in construction.

HART Device Connections

HART device connections to the TAs are made in accordance with the labels on the TAs (see
Figure 4-4 and Figure 4-13). Each HART FBM has eight separate communication channels as
17
B0400FF Rev M
shown on the TA labels. Type A, shielded twisted-pair cables (for making the device connections
to the TAs) are available from Foxboro and have the following part numbers:
P0170GG (flame retardant)
P0170GF (non-flame retardant).
Connections to FBM214/214b/216/216b/244
Make the cable connections to the FBM214/214b/216/216b/244 TA as shown in Figure 4-4. For
reference purposes, schematic representations of the input signal flows for the
FBM214/214b/216/216b are shown in Figure 4-5 and Figure 4-6, respectively. Cable Balun
Module connections for 2-wire devices are shown in Figure 4-7 through Figure 4-10. Cable Balun
Module connections for 4-wire devices are shown in Figure 4-11. Also, a simplified schematic of
the FBM214/214b/216/216b input circuitry is shown in Figure 4-12 on page 28. Entity parameters for the FBM214/214b/216/216b are listed in Table 4-2.

4. Cable balun used only when multiple loops are connected to a common power supply. The FBM
negative terminals connect directly to the minus (-) terminal of the power supply. The balun system
side negative (-) terminals (2, 4, 6, and 8) connect to the power supply positive terminals when there
are 4 (maximum) power loops.
5. For hazardous environments, install an intrinsic safety barrier such as an MTL 787S+ between the
balun wiring to limit the amount of energy in the wiring.
6. A user-supplied capacitor can be installed across the external power supply(ies) to shunt ac power.
7. The external power supply can be redundant power supplies in parallel.
8. For field cabling, use twisted-pair wiring inside a shielded cable with the shield grounded at the
Foxboro Evo system end.

Connections to FBM247
The FBM247 contains eight individual channels which can be individually configured for a range
of analog, digital and pulse field I/O signals, including the following:
HART Analog Input (AI)/Analog Output (AO) 4-20 mA
0-20 mA AI/AO, non-HART
0-10 V and 0-5V AI, non-HART
Digital dry contact sense 24 V dc

Discrete voltage monitor, configurable 0 and 1 thresholds 0-10 V
NAMUR sensor discrete input
Signal level according to DIN EN 50227 (NAMUR):
On at 2.1 mA dc with short circuit detection at > 6 mA
Off at 1.2 mA dc with open detection at <0.25 mA
Pulse count, frequency, acceleration and jerk, contact sense or voltage input
Discrete Output 24 V, 20 mA current or solid state switch output

Each I/O channel performs the signal conversion required to interface the electrical input/output
signals from the field sensors and actuators to the redundant Fieldbus, and is galvanically isolated
from other channels and ground.
Two types of passive termination assemblies are available for the FBM247:
DIN rail mounted TA, similar to those used with the other 200 Series FBMs
Baseplate-mounted TA, which mounts directly onto the field I/O connectors of the
200 Series baseplate, in a similar manner as the redundant adapter (see Redundant
Adapter Installation in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA)). This
TA provides field I/O wiring support for two FBM247s in paired baseplate slots (that
is, in positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, or 7 and 8).
Make the cable connections to the FBM247 TAs as shown in Figure 4-21. For reference purposes,
schematic representations of the I/O signal flows for the FBM247 are shown in Figure 4-22
through Figure 4-31.
A shield terminal connection (SH) is provided for each I/O point. The shield terminals are connected to the earth at the system power supply.
FBM247 supports cable balun modules as well. A schematic representation of a cable balun used
with FBM247 is provided in Figure 4-32 on page 46.
Entity parameters for the FBM247 are listed in Table 4-2 on page 47.
When configuring the ECB200 and other blocks for the FBM247, refer to Configuring Blocks
for FBM247 on page 66 for details on setting the exact signals used in each channel of the
FBM247.
Pulse or Digital SOE Contact Sense Input Configuration

When a FBM247 channel is configured for pulse I/O or digital Sequence of Events (SOE) signals,
the input circuit detects the digital state of the field device by sensing the current flowing in the
field wiring. The thresholds are fixed at 1.2 mA for a guaranteed logic value of 0 and 2.1 mA for
a guaranteed logic value or 1. When the input is configured to be internally powered, a +27 Volt
loop supply with a source impedance of 220 Ohms is provided. When the configuration is set for
36
B0400FF Rev M
external loop power, the channel input impedance is approximately 170 Ohms. These configurations allow for the connection of various two-wire sensors such as switches, relay contacts, or
active proximity devices. The input current switching thresholds are chosen to be compatible with
the recommendations of the NAMUR standard. For non-intrinsically safe applications, this
allows the convenience of direct connecting two-wire NAMUR sensors as input devices.
NAMUR fault detection is not implemented for these configurations.
NOTE
For some NAMUR sensors, additional external loop resistance may be required for
proper operation. Follow the details contained within the manufacturer's sensor
device data sheet.
Digital NAMUR Sensor Input (Non-Intrinsically Safe) Configuration

The FBM247 provides a NAMUR configuration which allows the convenience of direct connecting two-wire NAMUR type digital input sensors as input devices when they are used for nonintrinsically safe applications. The switching thresholds and fault levels are chosen to be compatible with the recommendations of the NAMUR standard. When a FBM247 channel is configured
for NAMUR, the input circuit detects the digital state of field device by sensing the current flowing in the field wiring. The thresholds are fixed at 1.2 mA for a guaranteed logic 0 and 2.1 mA
for a guaranteed logic 1. In addition, both NAMUR open (<0.25mA) and short (>6mA) circuit
fault detection is supported. When the input is configured to be internally powered, a +27 Volt
loop supply with a source impedance of 220 Ohms is provided. When the configuration is set for
external loop power, the input impedance is approximately 170 Ohms.
NOTE
For some NAMUR sensors, additional external loop resistance may be required for
proper operation. Follow the details contained within the manufacturer's sensor
device data sheet.
In addition to NAMUR type sensors, the NAMUR configuration supports an array of other types
of contact inputs. To ensure that the open circuit detection functions properly when using nonNAMUR contact type inputs, the addition of a resistor across the contacts is required to provide
the proper non-alarm current level (i.e. 0.5 to 1.0 mA) for the open contact condition.
NOTE
In order to implement an intrinsically safe NAMUR sensor input, an external

barrier must be used.

5. Control Block Configuration

Information
This chapter provides information necessary for configuring the control blocks associated with
the HART FBM and HART-capable FBM247 I/O functions. This information is intended for
use in conjunction with the quick-start example presented in Chapter 2 Quick-Start
Example.
ECBs and DCI Blocks Used with HART FBMs and

HART-Capable FBM247
With regard to the HART FBM I/O functions (reading/writing data to/from the HART devices)
and HART-capable FBM247 I/O functions (reading/writing data to/from the full range of I/O
signal supported by the FBM247, including HART devices), control block configuration involves
configuring the associated equipment control blocks (ECBs) and Distributed Control Interface
(DCI) control blocks. Table 5-1 lists the ECBs and DCI blocks used with the HART FBMs. For
detailed descriptions of the ECBs and DCI blocks used with the HART FBMs, refer to Integrated
Control Block Descriptions (B0193AX).

5. Control Block Configuration Information
Block Interconnections
In order for process control operations to be performed, you must create and configure ECBs,
DCI blocks, and other Foxboro Evo control blocks for control scheme implementation.

Figure 5-1. ECB Hierarchy
Configuration Procedures
As indicated in Figure 5-1, an ECB200 must be configured for each FBM214, FBM214b,
FBM215, FBM244, or FBM247 and an ECB202 must be configured for each FBM216,
FBM216b, FBM218 or FBM245 redundant pair. For each device associated with the FBMs (or
for the FBM247, each I/O signal associated with the FBM247), a child ECB201 must be configured and connected to the (parent) ECB200 or ECB202. In addition, a DCI block must be configured for each HART FBM or FBM247 parameter that is connectable. (Table 5-1 above lists the
DCI block types used in HART data transfer operations for the HART FBMs, and for other data
transfer operations supported by the FBM247.) The DCI blocks can be configured anywhere in
the Continuous List hierarchy (List 1 or 2), in any compound in a control station.
NOTE
In the following examples, the source of the I/O signal does not need to be a HART
device for the HART-capable FBM247.
Figure 5-2 shows the user-configured connections between the various elements of a typical control scheme using an FBM214/214b with HART input devices. In this figure, a RIN block is used
to process a real input from HART devices. (This real input could be derived from an alternative
source for the FBM247.)
Figure 5-3 on page 52 shows the user-configured connections between the various elements of a
typical control scheme using an FBM218 with HART output devices. In this figure, a ROUT
50
B0400FF Rev M
block is used to process a real output value directed to HART devices. (This real output could be
derived from an alternative source for the FBM247.)
Figure 5-4 on page 53 shows the user-configured connections between the various elements of a
typical control scheme using an FBM214/214b with 4-20 mA input devices. In this figure, a RIN
block is used to process a real input from 4-20 mA devices. (This real input could be derived from
an alternative source for the FBM247.)
Configuration for other types of device I/O parameters and corresponding DCI blocks is similar,
with similar interconnections between the ECBs and DCI blocks. Table 5-2 on page 55 lists key
parameters, which either specify the linkages between ECBs and DCI blocks or contain information relating to the transfer of I/O values.
The ECB200, ECB201, ECB202, and DCI block parameters are defined in Integrated Control
Block Descriptions (B0193AX).

1.
Typical Syntax
At the present time, for the HART FBMs (not FBM247), there are five legitimate values for
DVOPTS in the ECB201.
If the device is a HART device, one of the following four settings should be used, depending on the
desired OOS and system alarm handling. With any of these settings the ECB201 block will collect
HART status and diagnostic information which may be used for asset management purposes. With
all four settings, the 4-20 mA analog current signal is available for fast control by setting the
PNT_NO parameter of the DCI block such as an RIN or ROUT to the point address of
CURRENT. See Table 5-4 for valid DCI block point address settings.
HART Enables HART communication to the device and if the communication is interrupted for
more than a few seconds, all points are marked OOS (Out of Service).
NOFAIL Enables HART communication; however, the current input or output will always be
OK regardless of the HART communication failure.
NOALARM The same as NOFAIL with the exception that system alarms will also be suppressed
for HART communication failures.
OCD (Open Circuit Detection) Enables HART communication similar to NOFAIL but will
mark the current input or output as OOS after 10 seconds of continuous HART communication
failure.
IOBAD - Enables HART communication to the device and reads additional status information of
the device from HART Command 48. For information about configuring the IOBAD option, refer
to Configuring IOBAD Options on page 59.
If the device or I/O signal source is not a HART device, the following setting should be used:
4-20 - Disables all HART communication on that channel. When configuring the DCI block such
as RIN, the only valid point address is the CURRENT parameter. This setting is not recommended
for HART devices as the ECB201 block will not collect the HART device status and diagnostic
information useful in asset management of the device.
If the DVOPTS parameter is left BLANK, the behavior will default to be the same as the HART setting.
For FBM247, configure DVOPTS as described in Configuring Device ECB (ECB201) for
FBM247 on page 69.
58
B0400FF Rev M
NOTE
For configurations in which a ZCP270 is connecting to the FBMs via an FCM, the
first four characters of the FBM letterbug (SLOT) are created per user preference,
but they must match the first 4 characters of FCM name. For a non-redundant
FBM, the last two characters (03) reflect the physical position (slot 3) of the FBM
and its associated baseplate (0). For a redundant FBM pair, the last two characters
(0C) reflect the physical position (slot C) of the module pair and its associated baseplate (0). For additional information, refer to Figure 4-2 on page 14 and DIN Rail
Configuring IOBAD Options

The following is the syntax for the IOBAD options:
IOBAD N.MM N.MM N.MM N.MM N.MM
N represents the decimal number indicating the byte location in the command 48
response. Command 48 provides additional status up to 25 bytes.
Valid range of N is 1<= N <= 25.
MM represents the hexadecimal bit mask to identify the valid IOBAD condition.
Valid range of MM is 1<= MM <= FF.
The IOBAD options have a minimum of one field and a maximum of five fields in the form of
N.MM where N is the byte number and MM is a hex bit mask. If more than one N is greater
than 9, the option can have only four fields due to the 32 character limit in the DVOPTS string.
The bit mask specifies bits that are to be used from command 48 to generate IOBAD in the control blocks, independent of the setting of the Device Malfunction bit. This allows flexibility to
consider other status bits that are unrelated to the Device Malfunction bit, thereby decoupling the
two functions entirely.
Example:
IOBAD 3.FF 4.FD 1.01 25.18
3. FF field monitors all bits in the 3rd byte and generates IOBAD if any one bit of the
3rd byte is active.
4.FD field monitors all bits except the 2nd bit in the 4th byte and generates IOBAD
if any one of that bit is active.
1.01 field monitors only the first bit in the 1st byte and generates IOBAD if that bit is
active.
25.18 field monitors only the 4th and 5th bits in the 25th byte and generates IOBAD
if any one of those bits is active.
You can configure the 3rd byte and then the 1st byte as shown in the example. The HART
check box is selected in FBM247 SYSCFG when the IOBAD options are configured. For
details, refer to Configuring Blocks for FBM247 on page 66.
Point Addresses for HART and Analog I/O Signals

Each DCI block used in conjunction with HART devices and other analog I/O supported by the
HART FBMs and the FBM247 contains at least one parameter which specifies a point address in
the field device (see Table 5-3). This point address indicates, to the HART device or other analog
59
B0400FF Rev M
I/O source, the specific data I/O operation (command) to be performed (see Table 5-4). The
HART FBMs and the FBM247 support the HART universal commands. For specific commands
supported by HART devices or the analog I/O source, refer to literature from the device
manufacturer.
! CAUTION
Make sure to know what dynamic variables your HART devices or other analog I/O
source support. Only with this knowledge can you know when a seemingly good
value is invalid because it is associated with an unused variable.
The values returned by HART devices or other analog I/O sources depend on the dynamic variables they support. For example, in response to a Read Dynamic Variables and P.V. Current
command (PVCURR), some devices or other sources return data only for the variables they support. Other devices or other sources return data for all four possible dynamic variables supported
by the HART protocol, with the data for unused variables being zero.
The FBM knows that a variable is unused only if the device does not return a value for it. For such
(unused) variables, the data is marked out of service (OOS).
When the device or other source returns a value (such as 0) for unused variables, the FBM treats
this value as good (not OOS) because it has no way of knowing that the variable is unused. In this
case, you are responsible for knowing that data for unused variables is invalid.

Data Type Conversions

The control station logic automatically converts HART I/O data from the data type specified in
the DCI input scan record (transferred from the HART FBM to the control station) to the data
type of the DCI block parameter when the DCI block is processed.
In the RIN blocks, the input value is converted to Foxboro Evo format before applying signal
conditioning and/or linear scaling to the data. The output value to be written to the FBM is
61
B0400FF Rev M
converted to HART format after the inverse scaling and/or inverse signal conditioning has been
applied.
In ROUT blocks, the readback value is converted to Foxboro Evo format before applying signal
conditioning and/or linear scaling to the data. The output value to be written to the FBM is converted to HART format after the inverse scaling and/or inverse signal conditioning has been
applied.

! CAUTION
When modifying an ECB201configuration with changes that are related to DCI
connections (for example, when changing a device address), you are advised not to
wait for the system to report any possible error(s) associated with that change.
Rather, you should monitor the ECB201 block detailed display while modifying the
ECB201 configuration (see Chapter 6 Process Operator Displays). This ensures
that all possible errors are detected (and resolved) before commencement of process
control operations.
NOTE
Be aware that the fastest allowed ECB period for the HART FBMs and FBM247 is
100 milliseconds (PERIOD = 0). However, it is recommended that you refer to the
Sizing Guidelines and Excel Workbook appropriate for your Control Processor to
determine the optimal BPC for this ECB in order to prevent overloading.

Configuring Blocks for FBM247

The HART-capable FBM247 supports a wide range of analog, digital or pulse I/O signals, as
detailed in DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA). When powered on and before
any configuration data is downloaded to the FBM247, the default state of each channel is the
externally-powered current input mode.
Using your preferred block configuration tool, configure the FBM247s block parameters as
described in the following subsections. The following Foxboro Evo blocks are used in conjunction
with the FBM247:
ECB200 - the ECB for the FBM247
ECB201 - the ECB for each of the eight FBM247 I/O channels
RIN, BIN, ROUT, BOUT and IIN - the blocks for configuring the signal types for
FBM247 I/O channels
IIN, STRIN, PAKIN - the blocks used to retrieve and interpret the HART device
statuses.
The FBM247 also supports the BINR, IINR and RINR blocks but there are no special configuration instructions for these blocks. Refer to Integrated Control Block Descriptions (B0193AX) for
more information on configuring these blocks parameters.
NOTE
The only supported control configurators for the FBM247 are the Foxboro Evo
Control Editors and the ICC.
Configuring FBM ECB (ECB200) for FBM247

The following ECB200 parameters must be configured as described below for the FBM247, in
addition to the ECB200 parameters described in Table 5-2 Key Parameters on page 55:
HWTYPE = 247
SWTYPE = 247
FSENAB = toggles fail-safe logic to fieldbus devices connected to the FBM:
0 = Disables failsafe logic (default)

The SYSCFG parameter data is used as a bit mapped parameter to indicate that a channel is preconfigured as a HART device, as an input or an output, and if loop power is required. This
enables the FBM247 to obtain a live list for the selected channels. SYSCFG is an unsigned long
(32-bit) which should be entered as a hex value. Each of the four bytes has a function in defining
the I/O channel type, with channel 1 as the least significant bit (LSB) and channel 8 as the most
significant bit (MSB), as shown in Figure 5-8 below:

Figure 5-8. SYSCFG Bit Mapping
NOTE
In Figure 5-8, the output (Byte 2) and loop power (Byte 0) configuration bits are
only valid when HART communications have been enabled.
The purpose of each of the bytes is as follows:
1. Byte 3 (most significant) and byte 1 must be identical as they indicate which channels
are to be preconfigured by the SYSCFG parameter. As a security feature, the entire
configuration will be ignored if these two bytes do not match exactly. When a bit is set
in these two bytes, the corresponding channel is enabled for the HART live list
according to the information in other two bytes. If the bit is clear, the channel remains
in an unpowered state.
2. Byte 2 indicates that the channel is an output device when the bit is set. The channel
is an input device when the bit is clear.
3. Byte 0 (least significant) indicates that the channel uses loop (FBM) power when the
bit is set, or uses an external power source when the bit is clear. Note that most output
devices require loop power to provide the current output, whereas input devices usually do use loop power but some devices either provide their own power or are powered from a separate field power supply.
For example, the value 0x83018303 indicates a loop powered HART output device on channel 1,
a loop powered HART input device on channel 2 and an externally powered HART input device
on channel 8 with channels 3 through 7 not configured.
67
B0400FF Rev M
NOTE
1. The default value for SYSCFG is 1000 (0x000003E8) which does not configure
any of the channels since that value does not meet the security requirements outlined in the first item above. Therefore, if the user takes no explicit action to configure this parameter, the channels will not be configured until the ECB201 and I/O
block configurations are downloaded to the FBM.
2. Channels that have been preconfigured in SYSCFG require that the ECB201 and
I/O block configurations are appropriate for that channel. If the ECB201 or I/O
block configuration is incompatible with the preconfigured value, the configuration
is rejected by the FBM. Preconfigured channels must be analog current input or
output and powered as defined in SYSCFG.
3. Channels that have not been preconfigured remain in a safe powered-off state
until the ECB201 and I/O block configurations have been downloaded and validated by the FBM.
To configure the SYSCFG parameter in the Control Softwares Block Configurator, you will need
to invoke a grid control from the V button, beside the System Configuration (HART
Options) field in the ECBs -> FBM tab for the ECB200, as shown in Figure 5-9.
Figure 5-9. Configuring SYSCFG in the Block Configurator From Grid Control
The grid control shown above allows you to configure channels for up to eight HART devices.
SYSCFG will not be changed if you do not make any changes via this grid control.
In order to configure a channel, the checkbox in the HART column of that channel must be
checked (see Figure 5-9 above). If the checkbox in the HART column for a channel is checked,
the Input/Output and Power columns are enabled. If the checkbox in the HART column for a
channel is unchecked, the Input/Output and Power columns are disabled.
When the SYSCFG parameter has a value of 1000 (or any invalid values), the grid control will not
have any selections to configure.
Refer to the Block Configurator Users Guide (B0750AH) for additional details on using this editor.

Configuring Device ECB (ECB201) for FBM247

Each of the FBM247s eight I/O channels may have a device ECB201 configured for it. The following ECB201 parameters must be configured specifically for the FBM247 type and channel
type, in addition to the ECB201 parameters described in Table 5-2 Key Parameters on page 55:
HWTYPE = 247
SWTYPE = 247
DVNAME = CHn t [LPWR]:
Where
n is 1 to 8
t is I or O representing input or output.
[LPWR] selects the loop power option for current I/O.
If configured as EPWR (or omitted), the external power option is selected for current
I/O signal. This identifies the I/O channel and power option used by the current I/O
device connected to the channel.
To configure the DVNAME parameter in the Control Softwares Block Configurator,
you will need to invoke a grid control from the V button, beside the Device Name
(Channel Configuration) field in the ECBs -> FBM tab for the ECB201 derived
from $DEV_ECB201 template, as shown in Figure 5-10.
Figure 5-10. Configuring DVNAME in the Block Configurator From Grid Control
The grid control allows you to configure Input/Output and Power values for the
DVNAME parameter. You cannot configure the Channel value in the grid control.

Note that certain combinations of DVOPTS and PNT_NO configurations of the I/O blocks are
invalid. For example, when DVOPTS = VOLT, the RIN blocks parameter PNT_NO can only be
10V, 5V, PULSE, FREQ, ACCEL or JERK to be valid.

The Mode column in Table 5-8 in the next subsection shows if the variable is valid for current (I),
voltage (V) or either (I/V) mode. Output block variables are only available in current mode. Conflicts must be resolved before the I/O block can come on-line.
Also, the DDIAG1 parameter of the ECB201 allows you to read the current HART device status
- a single byte returned with each HART message response to the FBM247. The general details of
this parameter are discussed in ECB201 Extended Status Support on page 91; however, the specific use of this parameter with FBM247 and HART devices is discussed in Configuring IIN
Block for HART Integer Digital Variables and Device Status Bits for the FBM247 on page 73.
During normal system operation, you can view the current configuration of the DDIAG1 parameter for an FBM247 via the FBM247 devices ECB201 faceplate (detail view) in the Foxboro Evo
Control HMI. See Figure 7-7 ECB201 Faceplates for FBM247s Devices on page 126.

Configuring I/O Blocks (RIN, BIN, ROUT and BOUT) for the FBM247
Hardware Channels
The PNT_NO parameter in the RIN, BIN, ROUT and BOUT blocks configures an FBM247
hardware I/O channel along with the signal type. One (and only one) of the blocks listed in
Table 5-8 below may be configured for each FBM247 I/O channel with one exception; if any one
of the pulse channel inputs marked with (*) in the Block column are configured, the other three
inputs may also be configured since they are all obtained from the pulse counter channel data.
HART communication is only available when the PNT_NO is set to CURRENT or
CURRENT+LFD.

HART device status (see below)
The HART device status (DEVSTS) is a single byte returned with each HART message response
to the FBM247. (This value is also obtainable through the DDIAG1 parameter of the ECB201.)
These bits are shown in the System Management Equipment Information display for each HART
device and are universally defined for all HART devices. The I/O block state is also changed based
upon the value of certain bits as shown in Table 5-11:

If the HART device reports a Field Device Malfunction in the HART device status (bit 7), this

All I/O blocks connected to that HART device show BAD I/O.
The device shows a Warning Condition or Device Failure in the applicable system
management application.
None of the other bits cause a system alarm.
Bit 4 is set (More Status Available) when the HART device has additional device-specific
statuses to report. When this bit is set, the FBM247 retrieves up to 25 additional status bytes
from the HART device; these bytes contain the additional status information. Refer to the
documentation provided by the original manufacturer of the HART device for a description of
the statuses indicated by these bits. These status bytes can be displayed in a STRIN block and in
multiple PAKIN blocks, as discussed in next two subsections.
Configuring STRIN Block for HART String Input Variables for the FBM247
As discussed above, the device-specific status bytes returned by the HART device can be displayed
via the STRIN block.
HART string input variables, as well as the input signal type, can be configured via a STRIN

Additional status bytes returned by HART command 48 in hex format
You can use the STRIN block to view HART device-specific status information as described in
the previous subsection. This status information can be retrieved in conjunction with the PAKIN
block, as discussed below.
Configuring PAKIN Block for HART Packed Boolean Variables for the FBM247
As discussed above, the device-specific status bytes returned by the HART device can be displayed
via multiple PAKIN blocks.
PAKIN blocks are used to retrieve up to four individual HART device status bytes which can be
displayed via a STRIN block configured with the STATUS parameter. This configuration allows
an operator to connect to and monitor the states of specific bits and bytes in the additional status
information provided by the response to HART command 48, discussed above. While 25 bytes
are made available by these block connections, not all devices return that many bytes. Bytes that
are not returned by the device are always set to zero (0), whereas the STATUS parameter setting in
Table 5-12 above only displays the number of bytes that were actually returned from the HART
device.
The STRIN block displays the bytes in ascending order like 01020304 whereas the PAKIN block
displays the bytes in descending order like 04030201. This means that the most significant bit
(MSB) of byte 04 is displayed as bit 1 and the least significant bit (LSB) of byte 01 is displayed as
bit 32. If the STRIN value is 01020304 this would show bits 6, 15, 16, 23 and 32 as ON and all
of the other bits OFF in the PAKIN block.
The PKIOPT parameter in the PAKIN block must be changed from the default value (1) to 3
to display the bits and bytes in the order described above. (Leaving this parameter set to 1 causes
the PAKIN block to swap the order of the bits and bytes which would make bit 1 display the least
significant bit of byte 01 and bit 32 would display the most significant bit of byte 04.)
A Boolean connection can be made to any individual bit by using
COMPOUND:BLOCK.PAKCIN.Bn where n is the bit number from 1 to 32.
For example, the connection can be made to a CIN block to provide a state alarm message when
the state of the corresponding bit changes.
Set the PKINGP parameter as shown in Table 5-13 to extract the appropriate bytes from the
HART devices response to the request for status bytes from the FBM247.

Configuring DCI Blocks

NOTE
This section applies to all HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247.
In a control strategy, the DCI control blocks interface the Foxboro Evo system to the HART slave
devices. The DCI blocks used with HART devices are listed in Table 5-1.
The DCI blocks are created in the same general manner as the ECBs. For detailed information,
refer to Integrated Control Configurator (B0193AV). For parameter definitions, refer to Integrated
As part of the editing operations performed on the newly created DCI blocks, certain parameters
(PNT_NO, R11_PT and others) must contain a point address to specify the particular HART
universal command to be performed regarding the input or output data handled by the DCI
block. Refer to Point Addresses for HART and Analog I/O Signals on page 59 for detailed
information.
In conjunction with creating and editing DCI blocks, you will need to configure the various
blocks and compounds required for the desired control scheme. Refer to the following documents
to perform these operations:
DIN Rail Mounted Subsystem Users Guide (B0400FA)
Control Processor 270 (CP270) and Field Control Processor 280 (CP280) Integrated
Control Software Concepts (B0700AG)
Integrated Control Block Descriptions (B0193AX).
NOTE
To create and edit a DCI block in an existing compound using the Control Softwares Block Configurator, refer to the section Configuring Blocks in Block Configurator User's Guide
(B0750AH).
To create and edit a DCI block in an existing compound using the ICC, refer to the sections
View Blocks/ECBs in this Compound and Insert New Block in Integrated Control Configurator (B0193AV).

The engineering units configured for the block detail display must match the units
configured in the device.

B0400FF Rev M
To verify operation of the DCI blocks and the HART device data using the block detail
displays:
1. Access the appropriate application:
For the Foxboro Console Software Block Select application, refer to the Control
HMI Application User's Guide (B0750AQ) for details.
For the FoxSelect compound/block overview utility, refer to Process Operations and
Displays (B0700BN) for details.
2. Access the block detail display for each DCI block created, and confirm its data.
Example for Reading Pressure Measurement

A RIN block may be configured to read pressure from a pressure transmitter.
NOTE

Block Configurator, refer to the section Configuring Blocks in Block Configurator User's Guide

To create and edit a RIN block using FoxCAE (for any FBMs other than the FBM247), refer to
Computer Aided Engineering for I/A Series Control Station Databases, FoxCAE Version 4.0
(B0193MR).
For parameter definitions for the RIN block, refer to Integrated Control Block Descriptions
(B0193AX).
If the RIN block PNT_NO parameter is set to CURRENT, the RIN block output will be the Primary Variable (Pressure in this example), based only on the 0 to 20 mA dc current signal coming
into the HART FBM from the HART device, and this output will be the raw counts of the 0 to
20 mA dc signal converted to the equivalent Engineering Units in the exact same manner as an
AIN block does the conversion with a 0-to-20-mA-only FBM. If the PNT_NO parameter is set
to the HART variable PV, the RIN block reads the Primary variable from the transmitter (Pressure
in this example) in a digital response format which has the value already converted to engineering
units by the transmitter, and, therefore, the RIN block output is just this digitally-read value without any additional conversions or manipulations applied to it.

B0400FF Rev M
DCI Block Processing

The following is an overview of DCI block processing (and data read/write) operations.
NOTE
Scheduling of block processing depends on the period/phase of the ECB or control

block. For proper operation, you must synchronize the associated ECB and control
block processing, if required, by configuring these parameters appropriately. It is
recommended that you use the default ECB values and modify only the DCI block
periods and phase.
The control station processes the ECBs and DCI blocks as an integral part of its compound processing, each basic processing cycle (BPC). The order of processing is the same as the order of the
compounds, ECBs, and blocks configured in the control database.
Processing of the ECBs and control blocks is performed in the following sequence.
1. ECBs scheduled to be processed are executed to read fresh inputs.
When a parent or child ECB is processed, its DCI linked list is examined. For each
DCI input or output block ready to be run in that BPC, its DCI connection requests
are added to a read list for that ECB.
When the read list is complete, a Read_Data message is sent to the HART FBMs to
retrieve the current data contained in the DCI connection records in the FBM. (If
necessary, multiple messages are used to retrieve, from each FBM, all data required by
the DCI blocks for that BPC.) All read list data is moved into the DCI connection
records in the DCI blocks as it is retrieved.
2. Control blocks scheduled to be processed are executed.
When all ECBs have been processed, the control blocks are processed. When the DCI
blocks are processed, all DCI connection data is processed. (Refer to Key DCI Block
Functions on page 80 for a description of the common functions performed in the
DCI blocks.) During this processing, the DCI blocks set write request flags in the
DCI connection records for any outputs that need to be written to the field devices.
3. ECBs scheduled to be processed, and containing fresh outputs to be written, are
executed.
When all control blocks have been processed, the ECBs are processed once again to
drive the field outputs (in the control output blocks) that have been changed in that
BPC. When a DCI parent or child ECB is processed, its linked list is examined once
again. For each DCI connection record with a pending write request flag, a write list is
generated.
When the write list is complete, a Write_Data message is sent to the HART FBMs to
write the current output data contained in the DCI output connection records in the
control station. (If necessary, multiple messages are used to write all data requested by
the DCI blocks for that BPC.)
79
B0400FF Rev M
Key DCI Block Functions

Some key DCI block functions that can be selected by parameter settings are described in the
following paragraphs. [For more specific information on these functions, refer to the DCI block
descriptions (RIN, ROUT, IIN, and STRIN) in Integrated Control Block Descriptions
(B0193AX)].
Periodic/Change-Driven Execution
All DCI blocks are executed periodically according to their Period/Phase parameter configuration.
The ROUT block normally sets write requests to the HART FBM only when the output value
changes. If the secondary loop timer (SECTIM) is configured non-zero, write requests are also set
if the timer expires between output changes.
Auto/Manual Mode Operation

All DCI blocks except STRIN support the Auto/Manual mode of operation. This allows the
operator to manually substitute the inputs in the RIN, and IIN blocks, and to manually drive the
ROUT output directly.
Simulation Mode
Simulation mode is supported in all DCI blocks. When SIMOPT is set, the DCI connections are
not used. In the STRIN block, the string value may be written into the block by an object manager (OM) write access command. In the RIN, and IIN blocks, the input is provided by a separate, configurable input parameter. In the ROUT block, confirmation of the output value change
is simulated automatically. The simulation mode may be used in conjunction with the
Auto/Manual mode. The two features may co-exist in any DCI block.
Signal Conditioning and Linear Scaling

Signal conditioning and linear scaling of analog inputs/outputs can be configured in the RIN and
ROUT blocks. The SCI and SCO parameters can be used to specify any of the standard signal
conditioning algorithms supported by the Foxboro control station, except for thermocouple and
RTD conversions. For a description of the SCI conditioning algorithms, refer to the appendix
associated with the RIN block, in Integrated Control Block Descriptions (B0193AX). For a description of the SCO conditioning algorithms, refer to the ROUT block [also in Integrated Control
Block Descriptions (B0193AX)].
Input Limiting
The input values of the RIN block are constrained by the engineering range (HSCI1/LSCI1) configured in the block. If the input value is out-of-range, it is clamped to the high/low range value,
and the corresponding LHI/LLO status bit is set in the value record.
Confirmed Outputs
The output of the ROUT block is confirmed by a readback of the actual value written to the
HART FBM. When an output is changed in one of these blocks by the Foxboro Evo system, it is
stored in a request location that is part of the output value record in the block. (In Foxboro Evo
terminology, this type of output is referred to as a shadow output and is reflected in the shadow
status bit (Bit 12) in the value record.) The actual output value of the block is not updated until
80
B0400FF Rev M
confirmation of the requested change at the field device is received during the next processing
cycle of the DCI block.
The request value is written to any output-capable HART FBM (such as FBM215/218/244/245
or FBM247), which writes the value to the HART field device. If the write operation is successful,
the output-capable HART FBM stores the value as the readback value in its DCI connection
record.
On the next ROUT block cycle, the block output value is updated in the Foxboro control station
with the readback value from the HART FBM, thus completing confirmation of the change.
Output Clamping
The output value of the ROUT block is constrained by the limit values (HOLIM/LOLIM) configured in the block. The limit values are constrained by the engineering range (HSCO1/LSCO1)
configured in the block. If the output value exceeds its limiting constraints, it is clamped to the
high/low value, and the corresponding LHI and LLO status bit is set in the value record. This feature can be enabled in Auto mode only or in both Auto and Manual modes.
Output Initialization
The output value of a ROUT block initializes to the readback value in each of the following cases:
When the compound containing the block is turned on
When the block is installed and runs its first cycle
When control station-to-FBM communication recovers from a failure condition
When the Initialization Input (INI_PT), if used, is set.
The readback value contains the most recent value written to the HART FBM by the control
station.
Whenever a ROUT block is initialized (such as when its compound is turned on), it sends an initial value to the FBM and this value is sent by the FBM to the slave device. The initial value used
for the ROUT block is the value that you have configured into the blocks fail-safe value parameter FSOUT.
The ROUT block output initialization is done whether or not fail-safe is configured for the block;
the default value for the fail-safe value for the ROUT block is zero. If you care about what value is
written to the ROUT block when it is initialized, you must configure the fail-safe value for the
block, even if the fail-safe option is not used.
Cascade Initialization
Upstream logic in a cascade is initialized by a ROUT block in each of the following cases:
When the DCI block initializes
When the DCI block mode changes from Manual to Auto mode
When control station-to-FBM communication recovers from a failure condition

When the readback value transitions from Bad and/or Out-of-Service status to Good
status
When the Initialization Input (INI_PT), if used, is cleared.
81
B0400FF Rev M
Fail-Safe Actions
Fail-safe actions are performed in accordance with specific parameters set in ECB200 or ECB202,
and in the ROUT DCI block. In ECB200 or ECB202, the following parameters control fail-safe
actions:
FSENAB Fail-Safe Enable, when true, activates the FSDLAY timer to detect a communication failure from the control station, and start fail-safe action in the FBM. The
FSENAB setting is downloaded to the HART FBMs when the FBM is rebooted. It is
used by the HART FBMs to enable/disable the logic to assert fail-safe action when a
loss of control station communication is detected, or when a control station fail-safe
request is received.
FSDLAY Fail-Safe Delay is a communications fail timer. When enabled by
FSENAB, it specifies the length of time (in units of 0.01 seconds) that the FBM can
be without communication from the control station before taking fail-safe action. If
the Fail-Safe On Commfail bit is set in the FSOPTN parameter of the output control
block (ROUT), the FBM sets the Initialize Fail-safe bit in the status of the OUT
parameter of the associated AO function block. When this value is next received by
the connected device, the device asserts fail-safe and drives its output to the fail-safe
value. For example, the default value of 1000 in FSDLAY causes the FBM to wait 10
seconds between read/write messages before going to the Fail-safe state (provided
FSENAB is configured true).
In the ROUT DCI block, the following parameters control fail-safe actions:
FSOPTN Fail-safe Option is a configurable option that specifies the fail-safe conditions and action to be taken in the FBM for an output point in a ROUT block:
Assert fail-safe if input/measurement error.
Set/clear fail-safe when SETFS input is set/cleared.
Assert fail-safe if control station-to-FBM communication failure was detected by
the FBM.
Combinations of these conditions for fail-safe can be specified.
SETFS Set Fail-safe Request is a settable Boolean parameter that requests fail-safe
action to be set/reset by the FBM and/or field device for the specific output value of
the ROUT block.
FSOUT Fail-safe Real Output (ROUT block) specifies the real fail-safe value that is
to be used by the external device when any condition specified in FSOPTN exists.
A Failsafe Enable (FSENAB) option may be configured by the user in an ECB200 or ECB202.
This option is downloaded to the HART FBM when it is rebooted or when configuration of the
ECB200 or ECB202 is changed. FSENAB is used by the HART FBM to enable/disable logic to
assert fail-safe action on the HART channels automatically when a loss of control station communications is detected. It is also used by the HART FBMs to override all explicit fail-safe request
actions from the control station for each DCI output connection.
If the FSENAB option is set, the Fail-safe Delay (FSDLAY) value configured in the ECB200 or
ECB202 is used to set the fail-safe timer in the HART FBM. The fail-safe timer counts down and
is reset to the FSDLAY value whenever a DCI message is received. If the fail-safe timer expires, the
HART FBM stops communication on the channels, and sets the Fail-safe Active (FSA) status in
the associated DCI output connection records.
82
B0400FF Rev M
When communication with the control station is restored, the fail-safe timer is automatically reset
to full value by the first DCI message received, and the HART FBM clears the FSA status in the
associated DCI output connection records.
Fail-safe options (FSOPTN) can also be configured in each DCI output block. These options are
downloaded into the HART FBM when the DCI output connection is established. If any of the
fail-safe options are set, the HART FBM writes the associated fail-safe value into the DCI connection record.
Fail-safe action can also be triggered by either of two events in a DCI output block:
The Fail-safe Request parameter (SETFS) is toggled or, if the error option (EROPT) is
configured
The status of the primary input in the block goes bad (or becomes good).
When either of these events occurs, a Write_Data message is sent to HART FBMs with the Failsafe Request bit set (or cleared) in the message. If FSENAB is set, and if the Fail-safe Upon CP
Request option is set in the DCI output connection, the HART FBM sets (or clears) the FSA
status in the DCI connection record. If the Fail-safe Request is set, the HART FBM writes the
fail-safe value stored in the DCI connection record to the HART field device.
Refer to the DCI block descriptions in Integrated Control Block Descriptions (B0193AX) for additional details.
DCI Status Transformations

RIN block), as implemented by the Foxboro control station. The bit numbers in Table 5-14 represent the bit numbers in the parameter status word, not the Block Status bit of the DCI or other
control blocks. User-written software applications can access any of the 16 bits of the value record

ECB201 Extended Status Support

NOTE
The following section describes an enhancement that was added in EEPROM

Version 2.28B and later FBM software, and is not present in earlier versions.
Additional Device Status
The DDIAG1 (Device Diagnostics #1) parameter of ECB201 is a 32-bit packed Boolean output
which reports additional issues using Byte 0, Bit 4 (More status available for HART devices
only).
FBM214/214b/215/216/216b/218/247 monitors the state of this status bit from the device, and
when this bit changes from 0 to 1, the FBM issues the HART Common Practice Command 48 to
the device to read the additional status. The FBM stores the returned data as a 25-byte additional
status value where it can be read by the control processor. While this status bit remains at 1, the
FBM will read this additional status data from the device approximately every ten seconds.
When the status bit changes state from 1 to 0, as observed by the FBM, the additional status is
read once more. After this final reading, the FBM discontinues the read until the status bit transitions to 1 again.
The 25-byte additional status value is accessible with standard DCI input blocks. All twentyfive bytes can be read as a string of hex digits using a STRIN block and specifying STATUS for
the PNT_NO parameter. The bytes are presented by this block least significant to most significant order; for example, 01 02 03 ... 24 25.
Additionally, the individual status bits can be read in groups of 32 bits using the PAKIN block
with PKIOPT set to 3, displayed in most significant to least significant order, as shown below

24 23 22 21
00 00 00 25
Be aware of the following with regards to the 25-byte additional status value:
Not all devices provide additional status. It is assumed that a device that does not support the Common Practice Command 48 will never set the More status available bit
in ECB201.
A device that does provide additional status may not provide a full 25 bytes of additional status. For this reason, before the FBM issues the first Command 48 following
transition of the More status available bit from 0 to 1, the FBM clears (sets to 0) the
entire 25-byte storage area so that any unused bytes will not contain misleading ones
(1s). The STRIN block will only display the number of bytes actually received from
the device.
91
B0400FF Rev M
The PKIOPT parameter of the PAKIN blocks must be set to 3 to avoid swapping of
the bits and bytes. The default setting of this parameter is 1.
The PAKIN block detail display shows the PAKCIN parameter as in the examples
above, but the individual bits are displayed as most significant bit=1 (upper left) and
least significant bit=32 (lower right). This means that the top line displays the bits in
byte 4 and the bottom line displays the bits in byte 1.
Refer to Integrated Control Block Descriptions (B0193AX) for definitions of the additional bits in
the DDIAG1 parameter of ECB201.
Also, for the FBM247, refer to Configuring IIN Block for HART Integer Digital Variables and
Device Status Bits for the FBM247 on page 73 for additional details on reading HART device
status using the IIN, STRIN and PAKIN blocks with the FBM247.
System Alarming
Whenever DDIAG1 Byte 0, Bit 7 (Device Malfunction) is 1, the FBM sets the System Alarm
bit for the device. On the transition from 0 to 1 of the System Alarm bit for a device, a system
warning message is sent to the SMON log and the System key on FoxView software flashes red. In
addition, all I/O blocks connected to a device with this bit set will indicate BAD I/O (Red) and
the data will not be used for control.
While the System Alarm bit for a device is set, the device icon in SMDH will be yellow as a
warning indicator.

7. Maintenance
This chapter provides maintenance information for the HART FBMs and the HART-capable
FBM247.
NOTE
In general, maintenance includes periodic inspection and cleaning, checking the

status of LED indicators, and checking for loose cable connections.
! WARNING
To prevent explosion, install and remove cables, wiring, modules and other replaceable components only when the area is known to be nonhazardous.
Overview
The general Foxboro Evo system management philosophy applies to the HART FBMs incorporated into the Foxboro Evo system. Through the System Management Displays, you can receive
status information on the HART FBMs, as well as send change requests to the FBMs.
System management for the HART FBMs is supported on the following system and display management packages:
System Manager - discussed in System Manager (B0750AP)
NOTE
The only system management package that supports the HART-capable FBM247 is
the System Manager.
SMDH - discussed in System Management Displays (B0193JC)

FoxView software - discussed in Process Operations and Displays (B0700BN)
Foxboro Evo Control HMI - discussed in Control HMI Application User's Guide
(B0750AQ).
Operating Status
The operating status of the HART FBMs and the HART-capable FBM247 is reported by the
Foxboro Evo system using on-screen and printed messages. Refer to the following documents for
information on the reporting of equipment operating status and errors:

System Management Displays (B0193JC)
Control Core Service V9.x System Error Messages (B0700AF)

System Manager Displays and System Management

Displays
Display Applications
Operators will view data regarding their control equipment using display applications such as the
System Manager or the System Management Display Handler (SMDH).
The System Manager allows you to access equipment information and status for a Foxboro Evo
system, including the HART FBMs, HART slave devices, FBM247 devices/signals and their associated Control Processor. This display reflects the systems current operating status and provide a
valuable maintenance aid by allowing you to observe the current operating status of the various
system elements and intervene in system operations. For information on navigating through the
System Manager screens, see System Manager (B0750AP).
For information on viewing the HART FBM and device runtime information in the Foxboro Evo
Control HMI, refer to Control HMI Application User's Guide (B0750AQ).

In the Foxboro Evo system, the System Management Display Handler (SMDH) obtains current
and historical information about the system, and displays this information in System Management displays. With regard to HART FBMs and the associated HART slave devices, the SMDH
provides the following displays:
A Fieldbus1 level display (PIO Network), which shows the control station, FCM(s),
and any other Fieldbus devices
A module Fieldbus1 level display (PIO Sub-Network), which shows the selected FCM
and associated FBMs
A device level display (I/O Display), which shows the associated HART devices for
the selected FBM
Detailed equipment information (EQUIP INFO) and equipment change (EQUIP
CHG) displays for each HART FBM and the associated HART devices.
For detailed information on the first three items above (Fieldbus level display, module Fieldbus
level display, and I/O device display), refer to System Management Displays (B0193JC).

FBM216/216b Redundant Power Supply Test

(Internally Powered Transmitter)
NOTE
This status check pertains to redundant FBM216/216b inputs that are powered
from the FBM. It does not pertain to externally powered inputs.
The purpose of the following test is to validate operation of the per channel power supply for each
module in the FBM216 or FBM216b module pair. The test should be performed periodically.
The more often the test is performed, the higher the reliability.
128
7. Maintenance
B0400FF Rev M
The power supplies of each input channel of a redundant pair are diode ORd on the redundant
adapter associated with the input pair. Test points are provided on the redundant adapter to measure loop power for each channel.
The FBM216 redundant adapter for the standard FBM is shown in Figure 7-8, and the adapter
for the Compact FBM216b is shown in Figure 7-9. Along the bottom of the redundant adapter
are test point commons [Input (-)] for each channel. Along the top and right side are positive test
points [Input (P)] for each channel. Two test points are provided for each channel, one for the left
FBM216 module (1), and one for the right FBM216 module (2)].
To perform the status check, refer to Figure 7-8 and proceed as follows:
1. Place the negative probe of a voltmeter at test point common 01 [Input (-)], and test
the loop power (voltage) for channel 01, modules 1 and 2 (at Input (P) 01). Both
readings should be 24 V dc 5%. A reading significantly below specification indicates
a defective module (defective loop power).
2. Repeat Step 1 for the remaining seven channels (02 through 08), using the respective
common points and loop power test points.

FBM245 Redundant Power Supply Test

NOTE
The FBM245 has four HART-compatible inputs and four HART-compatible outputs. The test points provide a measurement check of the FBM derived loop supply
voltage for input channels 1-4. These test points do not reflect the loop supply
voltage when loops are externally powered.
The purpose of the following test is to validate operation of the per channel power supply for each
module in the FBM245 module pair. The test should be performed periodically. The more often
the test is performed, the higher the reliability.
The power supplies of each input channel of a redundant pair are diode ORd on the redundant

7. Maintenance
On the front of all HART FBMs and the FBM247, two Operational Status LEDs (red and green)
indicate the operational status of the module. During normal on-line operation of the FBM with
communications enabled with the connected HART devices, the green LED is on, and the red
LED is off.
LEDs 01 through 08 provide different information on the HART FBMs than on the FBM247:
For the HART FBMs, LEDs 01 through 08 indicate the operational status of the
eight HART communication channels. Each LED is on when the FBM is expecting
and receiving valid messages from the HART device on the channel. If the ECB201 is
configured as 4-20 (4 to 20 mA analog channel), the LED is always off.
For the FBM247, LEDs 01 through 08, indicate the operational status of the eight
communication channels, depending on what the source of each channel has been
configured for. When a channel is configured for HART or analog communications,
its associated LED is on when the FBM is expecting and receiving valid messages on
the channel. If the ECB201 is configured as 4-20 (4 to 20 mA analog channel), the
LED is always off.
When a channel is configured for digital I/O signals, the yellow LED indicates the on
or off state of the digital input or output channel.
On the redundant HART FBMs (not currently supported on the FBM247), the Master and
Tracker LEDs indicate the master/tracker status of the redundant module pair. The Master LED
is on when the module is controlling HART communications. The Tracker LED is on when the
module is ready to control HART communications.
Table 7-15 lists the state of the FBM LEDs under various operating conditions. This table
assumes that you have properly configured the ECB201s for communication with HART devices
(or with the FBM247, the FBMs associated I/O source). It also assumes that you have placed the
FBMs on-line and enabled device communications using the appropriate displays (System Manager or SMDH).

Appendix A. HART FBM System

Messages (SMON Log)
This appendix defines the complete list of system messages which can be generated by the HART
FBMs. For redundant HART FBMs, only the Master FBM posts these messages to the System
Monitor log (smon_log).
The format for HART FBM system messages in the smon_log is as follows:
Figure A-1. HART FBM System Message Format
These system messages may contain an [M|B] device type for messages reported from a Main or
Backup Master FBM:
M indicates the Main Master FBM sent the message.
B indicates the Backup Master FBM sent the message.
However, a Tracker FBM can record messages that need to be posted, but will hold them until it
takes the Master role. Such messages are marked with [m|b] instead:
m indicates the Main Tracker FBM sent the message.
b indicates the Backup Tracker FBM sent the message.
The internal time of each message (the actual time of the event) is recorded in the smon_log. This
time represents the number of milliseconds since the last reboot of the particular FBM. The
recording of the message in the smon_log can be delayed. For example, when an FBM is not in
the Master role, and it is holding messages until it takes this role, such a delay occurs.
! WARNING
This field rolls over every 1.8 hours. It is intended to provide relative timing to
other messages posted by the same FBM only.
Some of these messages may be turned off by setting gating bits in the SYSOPT register. Those
gating bits are shown in Table A-1 below.
