Background Do more
You Can Do More Plants are achieving wiring, I/O card, and marshalling savings: o Multiple devices on the same pair of wires o Multiple I/O per device on the same pair of wires o Innovative multi-channel devices o ~100 I/O signals per fieldbus H1 card o Virtual Marshalling™ for easy I/O signal changes Do more: o Simplified loop check o Tighter control o Instrument diagnostic alarm management o Intelligent discrete devices o Add instruments for equipment condition and performance monitoring; on premise or IIoT
Fieldbus Training Competency is a critical success factor
FF Training Helps FF capabilities still not fully utilized o Learn more to get more out fieldbus FF has evolved over the years o Learn more to do fieldbus the easier way Use consultants, EPC contractors, and subcontractors trained on FF Train plant I&C personnel on FF to ensure continuity Get trained on FF NE107 IIoT Control-in-the-Field Loop Check Intelligent on-off devices
FF Design Better and simpler
Fieldbus Design the Easy Way Count devices, not I/O signals One worst case ‘Typical’ power calculation o Voltage drop One worst case ‘Typical’ loading calculation o Scan time
FOUNDATION Fieldbus for IIoT - Build on the Fieldbus You’ve Got Add instruments for equipment condition and performance monitoring o On premise or IIoT Fieldbuses usually not fully populated Add sensors for condition monitoring and energy management Control System Condition Monitoring System & Energy Management System etc. Process Control & Monitoring Condition Monitoring & Energy Management etc.
FF Configuration Engineer to avoid alarm flooding
Same as for Avoid Alarm Flooding: HART Instrument Diagnostic Alarm Management If the instrument diagnostic alarm management system is not configured there will be a flood of nuisance alarms o System will not be used ISA108 guidance being developed Interim guide: o http://www.eddl.org/DeviceManagement/Pages/DeviceDiagnostics.as px Specify a control system supporting diagnostics alarm management o Filtering based on criticality o Routing to the right person
Same as for HART Instrument Diagnostic Alarm Routing Instrument Tech Operator • Failure • Failure • Maintenance Required • Function Check • Out of Specification Nuisance Alarms Devices
Same as for HART Instrument Diagnostics Alarm Rationalization Categorize severity of diagnostics: o NAMUR NE107 Identify criticality to the process for each device tag Configure system and devices
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Test to make sure instrument diagnostics alarm management will work as intended
Same as for HART FAT Interoperability / Integration Test Connect one of each device type Open each device type in the IDM software o Verifies the DD file for each type and version of the device has been loaded o Verifies the device displays correctly Download a device configuration o Verify the download is error free
FF Installation Wiring
Same as for Good Digital Communication Installation HART Practices Don’t ground shield at device, insulate shield Maintain shield through junction boxes Route signal cables in separate tray from power cables Don’t loop cable too tight Don’t spend too much Ground device housing and junction boxes Don’t coil signal cables and power cables together the first 3… Don’t damage shield and conductor insulation Don’t strip off more jacket than necessary Ground overall shield for multi-pair cable Ground the cable armor
Same as for Other Good Installation Practices 4-20 mA Do not pull cable with too much force Make sure cable glands are tight Seal unused conduit entries Don’t spend too much Use correct size ferrule/fork and tool Do not cram wires in device terminal compartment the first 3… Do not over/under-tighten screws Make sure covers are tight Do not tighten cable-tie too much Label wires Observe polarity
FF Commissioning Digital loop check
5-Point Loop Check is Not Required on Fieldbus Projects No 4-20 mA ranging No 4-20 mA signal distortion No traditional five-point loop tests Instead a simple plausibility check DIGITAL • No range mismatch • Not limited • No biased • No non-linearity • No current calibration mismatch
Change Work Practices Getting into the habit of using the IDM software as part of the daily routine
Same as for HART Instrument Technician Culture Change Review instrument diagnostic alarms o Instrument technicians must review the instrument diagnostic alarm summary and log every day Spend time on devices which need attention Check the software first o When operations say a device is not working, instrument technicians must check the software first , before going to the field to take a look Avoid unnecessary field visits Rewriting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) o Rewrite work procedures to include IDM software Inspection, replacement, calibration and other tasks
Network Maintenance Maintain installation in good condition to ensure the communication continues to work error free
Same as for HART Monitor Network Health Periodically check communication Packet Error Rate (PER) to detect deteriorating communication before alarms appear Built-in control system communication diagnostics
System Management Keep systems up to date with new device types and versions
Same as for HART Keep System Up to Date Load the DD files for new device types and versions on the control system and IDM software
Same as for HART DD File Management DD files are easy to download from the Internet Load DD files for all devices, even if they are currently not in use o You don’t have to figure which you need now and which you don’t o You never know when new devices will be installed o The system is ready for all kinds of devices Some systems have DD wizard that automatically distributes the DD to all computers in the system Some hosts offer update services which loads DD files onto the system automatically as they become available
Conclusion
