The document discusses how Fieldbus Foundation has improved usability of FOUNDATION fieldbus over time. New features in ITK6 and Host Profile Registration (HPR) have enhanced configuration, commissioning, maintenance and device replacement by reducing errors and complexity. HPR in particular helps ensure consistency across systems. Upcoming initiatives like "Project Gemstone" aim to further enhance templates, replacement workflows and other areas to reinvent fieldbus and make it smarter and easier to use.

- 10. 1010 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability Key Feature Enhancements till Date Selection Configuration Commissioning Maintenance Replacement Error Free Download Field Diagnostic Specification Host Profile Test and Registration Device Replacement Guideline and Specifications Device Level Methods and Views
- 11. 1111 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability Commissioning: - Faster, but... User Experience – Download offline configuration results in errors – Multiple downloads typically resolve errors, but this increases overall commissioning time Analysis – Devices apply checks to maintain consistency during download – Device expects a specific order for parameter download – Some parameters should not be written during an automated download
- 12. 1212 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability ITK6 Profile Improves Commissioning New “no_download” lists inform host which parameters should not be part of an automated download – Described in EDD – e.g. calibration parameters – e.g. vendor specific behavioral parameters New deferral of inter-parameter checks – Disables consistency checks during automated download – Once completed, device re-evaluates configuration – Reduces errors due to parameter order mismatch New parameter BLOCK_ERR_DESC_n – Provides more detail to the configuration block error
- 13. 1313 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability Maintenance - Rationalized with diagnostics, but... User Experience – Diagnostic data is represented in different forms, making integration difficult Analysis – A common structured approach across networks is necessary to bring the right information to the right person in context
- 14. 1414 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability ITK6 NAMUR NE107 Improves Self- Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices Diagnosis results must be reliable Diagnosis results must always be viewed in the context of the application. Internal diagnosis must be categorized into 4 standard “status signals” Configuration must be free, as reactions will depend on the user's requirements Detailed information can be read out by the device specialist

- 16. 1616 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability Device Replacement - Interoperability works, but... User Experience – Replacing devices requires access to system software Analysis – Replacement devices are sometimes newer than the device used before – A new type or version of device requires the DD to be loaded and the tag to be updated
- 17. 1717 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability ITK6 Improves Device Replacement Fieldbus Foundation published an application note for suppliers to define rules for ‘Like’ device replacement New parameter COMPATIBILITY_REV declare compatibility rules Enables systems to use an updated device that was commissioned with a prior version device version Simplify the 2 a.m. device replacement scenario
- 18. 1818 Advances in FOUNDATION fieldbus provide improved usability Device Setup and Diagnostics - Device management improved, but... User Experience – Users must browse through many blocks to get an overview of health from all diagnostics – Users must go to many blocks to completely configure the device Analysis – Traditional DD accessed the blocks one by one
