Fieldbus Entries

Dec. 1, 2003
Process industrial engineers can extend plant-wide control applications to include Ethernet capabilities with the FBUS-HSE/HI Fieldbus high-speed Ethernet (HSE) linking device.

The linking device can fully integrate sensor, process, discrete, hybrid and batch control subsystems with higher level supervisory applications. The FBUS-HSE/HI connects 31.25kbps H1 segments to an HSE network running at 10Mbps or faster. Also available is the NI PCI-FBUS/2 plug-and-play PCI board, designed to connect Foundation Fieldbus devices to new desktop PCs. The PCI-FBUS/2 eliminates the challenge of configuring AT-FBUS boards with new PCs that no longer offer ISA slots as standard. The PCI/FBUS/2 board plugs into any new desktop PC with a PCI slot, and can run software without the need for a complex interface card.
