How is fieldbus different from 4-20mA?


4-20mA
Power Supply Power Supply

fieldbus

Input card

In 4-20mA circuits, the power supply, field device and input card are connected in series. In a Fieldbus system, the power supply, field devices and input card are connected in parallel.

Typical Fieldbus installation


Fieldbus control system (DCS)

Redundant, isolated Fieldbus power conditioner CONTROL ROOM FIELD Field wiring hub with spur short-circuit protection

Fieldbus Today

FOUNDATION fieldbusTM in Pharmaceuticals  Installed base worldwide (published by Fieldbus Foundation, 2008):
>10,000 systems >700,000 field instruments

 Diverse adoption:
9 of the top 10 oil & gas companies 24 of the top 25 pharmaceutical manufacturers 23 of the top 25 chemical producers 15 of the top 20 pulp & paper companies 10 of the top 20 food & beverage companies

 ARC Advisory Group: powerful value proposition for fieldbus in the hybrid industries-namely, food & beverage and pharmaceutical, particularly when it comes to easing the process of validation and regulatory compliance and the integration of batch procedural operations with continuous processes. The function block structure of Foundation technology lends itself to these processes very well.

When should fieldbus be considered?

 Green Field Facility  Facility Upgrade


New unit operation

 Process Automation Focus


60% of sensors are analogue

 Existing cabling infrastructure is overloaded

Why use FOUNDATION fieldbusTM?

 Integrated digital architecture  Future proof


Sensors can be field upgraded with new features
