OVERVIEW

Fieldbus Communication Modules (FCMs) are fibre optic communication extenders that allow 200 Series fieldbus modules to be remotely mounted near plant processes.

FCM2F2 (RH914YZ), FCM2F4 (RH917JA) and FCM2F10 (RH916TQ)

Three models are available with nominal maximum substrate-to-substrate fibre optic cabling distances: up to 2 km (1.24 mi), 4 km (2.48 mi) and 10 km (6.21 mi) respectively.

FCMs are mounted in pairs on standard baseboards for redundancy. Non-redundant configurations require only a single FCM.

Fibre optic cabling is unaffected by electrical noise (EMI, RFI and lightning) and is a versatile and highly reliable means of extending signal communications.

It can be used in areas containing equipment such as rotating machinery, arc welders, etc. It can also be installed in cable bridges containing high voltage power lines, or in outdoor areas exposed to lightning hazards.

or outdoor areas exposed to lightning hazards. Its electrical isolation features protect www.honeywell-diver.com against voltage differences and ground loops.

FCM Design

The FCM has a rugged extruded aluminium enclosure that provides physical protection for the circuitry.

Enclosures specifically designed for the installation of FBMs and FCMs provide varying degrees of environmental protection for the FCM, up to harsh environments (Class G), in accordance with ISA Standard S71.04.

The FCM can be removed/replaced from the base plate without power failure. six light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front of the FCM.

Six light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front of the FCM are used to indicate the status of network activity with the modular fieldbus and fibre-optic link, as well as the operational status of the FCM.

Figure 1 shows an example of a redundant configuration where the baseboards (containing the FCM) are connected point-to-point via fibre optic cable.

The cabling configuration shows a single fibre optic segment connecting two substrates. However, up to three fibre segments can be used to connect four baseboards (maximum).

The maximum fibre cabling distance between any two base stations is 10 km (using FCM2F10s (RH916TQ)).

The total fibre optic cabling distance (all cable segments) between base stations does not exceed 20 km (10.42 miles).

Baseboard Module Mounting

The FCM is mounted on a standard baseboard. The baseboard includes signal connectors for fieldbus, power, and I/O cable connections.

A baseboard can support up to eight FBMs, or a combination of FBMs and FCMs.

When connecting two baseboards with fibre optic cables (redundant), one pair of FCMs per baseboard is required (four FCMs total).

For non-redundant configurations, only one FCM is required per baseboard.

Multiple baseboards in the same cabinet do not necessarily require FCMs and fibre optic cables.

Any baseboards within 60 metres (196.85 feet) can be connected together with standard twisted-pair cabling.

Fibre Optic Cabling

Fibre optic cables for fieldbus connections to these modules are purchased by the customer.

The fibre optic cable required for the FCM2F2 (RH914YZ) and FCM2F4 (RH917JA) connections is multimode, graded-indexed glass fibre.

The core is 62.5 micron, the cladding is 125 micron and the NA is 0.275 (numerical aperture).

125 micron cladding with 0.275 NA (numerical aperture). At a wavelength of 1300 nm

Maximum allowable signal loss is 1 dB per kilometre at 1300 nm and 3.6 dB per kilometre at 850 nm.

Cables must be terminated with ST-type connectors. Cables with different characteristics must not be used.

The cable required for the FCM2F10 (RH916TQ) connection is a standard single-mode fibre optic cable with ST-type connectors.

Other cable requirements (such as flexibility or durability) depend on the specific application.

Enhanced reliability (fault tolerance)

The FCP280’s unique, patented fault-tolerant operation improves reliability compared to traditional process controllers.

The fault-tolerant version of the FCP280 consists of two modules operating in parallel with two Ethernet connections to the control network.

The two FCP280 modules are combined as a fault-tolerant pair, ensuring continuous operation of the controller in the event of any hardware failure in one of the modules.

Both modules receive and process information simultaneously and faults are detected by the modules themselves. One important method of fault detection is to compare the communication messages of the modules’ external interfaces.

A message leaves the FCP280 only if the two FCP280s agree on the message to be sent (bit for bit match).

bit match). Once a fault is detected, both modules run self-diagnostics to determine which module is affected.

The modules run self-diagnostics to determine which module is affected. The unaffected module then takes over control without affecting the normal operation of the system.

This fault-tolerant solution offers the following key advantages over redundant-only controllers

Redundant controllers only:

– No error messages are sent to the field or to applications using the controller data, because unless the two modules match exactly bit-for-bit in sending a message, the

No information is allowed to flow out of the controller.

– The secondary controller is synchronised with the primary controller, which helps to ensure that the most up-to-date data is available in the event of a primary controller failure.

– Since the secondary controller performs exactly the same operations as the primary controller, potential defects can be detected prior to any switchover.

Fail Safe Configuration (Hold/Return) and Analog Output Fail Safe Return Data (on a per channel basis).

The Fieldbus Module (FBM) can alternatively perform the fast control loops in which Distributed PIDA (DPIDA) applications provide operation.

The FBM204 is electrically compatible with standard HART signals.

Features

-Four 20 mA dc analog input channels

-Four 20 mA dc analog output channels

-Each input and output channel is galvanically isolated

-Ruggedized design for use in Class G3 (harsh) environment enclosures

-Performs analog I/O applications with configurable options for conversion time and change rate limits

-High accuracy through sigma-delta data conversion per channel

-Terminal assembly (TA) for local or remote connection of field wiring to the compact FBM204

-TA for output bypass station to maintain output operation during maintenance

3-tier terminal assembly power transmitter with internal and/or external loops for each channel

-Supports DPIDA control block with high accuracy

For high accuracy, the module provides new analog input readings every 25ms depending on the channel basis, as well as configurable integration cycles to eliminate any process and/or noise and power line

Frequency. the FBM converts each analog input to a digital value at each time period, averages these values over a period of time, and provides the average value to the controller.

Standard Design

The FBM204 has a rugged extruded aluminum housing circuit. The enclosure specifically designed for mounting the FBM is available in a variety of grades according to ISA standard S71.04. environmental protection in harsh environments.

The front of the Visual Indicator Module contains red and green light emitting diodes (LEDs) to provide visual status indication of FBM function.

Easy Removal/Replacement

The module is mounted to the Compact 200 Series baseplate. two screws on the FBM mounts attach the module to the baseplate. The module can be removed/replaced without disassembly for field device termination wiring or power or communications wiring.

Fieldbus Communication

The fieldbus communication module or control processor uses a redundant 2Mbps modular fieldbus with the FBM.The FBM accepts communication from either path (A or B) of the 2Mbps fieldbus. If a path is

unsuccessful or switched at the system level, the module continues to communicate on the active path.

Modular Baseboard Mounting

Modules are mounted on DIN-rail mounted modular baseplates* for up to four to eight FBMs. modular baseplates are DIN-rail or rack-mountable and include signal connectors for redundant fieldbuses, redundant independent DC power supplies, and termination cables.
