May 2014 1 User's Manual Introduction This manual guides you in using the USB Fieldbus Interface (interface) to power and/or configure fieldbus devices. Included here are basic setup, configuration, and troubleshooting information, as well as guidelines on how to use the interface with AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager and with a third-party FDT Frame Application.
User's Manual 1.1 May 2014 Safety message WARNING! Do not connect the USB Fieldbus Interface to a live segment (with an active DCS Host and power supply attached) if the power indicator light on the interface is amber in color. Doing so can disrupt communications and may compromise automation safety.
May 2014 2 User's Manual USB Fieldbus Interface Topics covered in this chapter: • Overview • Parts and function • Power modes 2.1 Overview The USB Fieldbus Interface enables two-way communication between a computer and fieldbus devices. Its primary function is to allow the setup, configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices through a computer. The interface is fully compatible with all FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) devices and is always configured as a "visitor.
User's Manual May 2014 The USB Fieldbus Interface comes with a USB cable, lead set, user's manual*, and installation CD*.
