Description
Summary:Fieldbus is a computer network protocols used for real-time distributed control. Previously in control systems, workstations were connected using the Direct Digital Control (see Appendix 1). The integrated of this serial communication that has been currently used which is 4-20 mA communication schemes which require each device to have its own communication point at the controller level. This condition will eventually increase the cost. However, the Fieldbus technology manages to solve this disadvantage by connecting the multiple of analog and digital points to the controller level at the same time and other advantages [1]. The further research and test on it performance need to be done. Hence, the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Interoperability Test, System Configuration and Loop Design are to perform the technical verification and interoperability of every FOUNDATION Fieldbus host and devices. This project comes from four vendors which are EMERSON, YOKOGAWA, HONEYWELL and FOXBORO. However, this project would be focusing on EMERSON system. This project aims to provide a brief familiarization to the FOUNDATION Fieldbus system and explore more about the performance of this technology for the industrial applications. The laboratory testing (dry test) will covers several tests which are the basic interoperability test, stress test and diagnostic capability test. However this project only covers the basic test. Due to the delayed from PETRONAS SKG14, the Stress test and Diagnostic Test will be postponed. Thus, the interoperability of the FOUNDATION Fieldbus goal is not being accomplished yet. Other than that, this project also covers the loop design using the DeltaV system by Emerson. The outcome of this FOUNDATION Fieldbus test will be compiled in the form of standards and guidelines that will be implemented by PETRONAS Groupwide.
