Overview of FBUS-HSE/H1 Linking Device (LD) Hardware 1 This chapter provides an overview of the FBUS-HSE/H1 Linking Device (LD) hardware. Product Overview High Speed Ethernet (HSE) is an extension to the Foundation Fieldbus specification and is governed by the Foundation Fieldbus organization. HSE compliments the Foundation Fieldbus H1 network (31.25 kb/s) specification by offering a high speed (10 Mb/s) link to H1 segments.

Typical Ethernet Network Setup In a distributed application, many Fieldbus H1 segments are networked together using HSE LDs. With Ethernet, you can use an unlimited number of Fieldbus H1 segments.
Chapter 1 Overview of FBUS-HSE/H1 Linking Device (LD) Hardware Once configured, the linking device permits HMI software on any PC connected to an FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to access and monitor Fieldbus devices as if the HMI were directly connected to the Fieldbus network. System Requirements This section describes the hardware and software components you need before you can use the linking device. You also should review the README.TXT file on the linking device setup disk for the latest information.
2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Installing the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD has a simple rail clip for reliable mounting onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Complete the following steps to mount the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD on a DIN rail. 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the DIN rail clip to the unlocked position, as shown in Figure 2-1. Rail Clip Locked Rail Clip Unlocked Figure 2-1. DIN Rail Clip 2.

Slide the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to the desired position along the DIN rail. After the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is in position, lock it to the DIN rail by pushing the rail clip to the locked position, as shown in Figure 2-1.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Mounting the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to a Panel Complete the following steps to install the optional Fieldbus network panel mount accessory and mount the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD network module to a panel. You can order the panel mount accessory from National Instruments. 1. Use a flathead screwdriver to open the rail clip to the unlocked position, as shown in Figure 2-1. 2. Snap the panel mount accessory onto the module, as shown in Figure 2-3. Figure 2-3.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Connect Your FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to the Network Connect the RJ-45 Ethernet port of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to an Ethernet hub using a standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. You also can connect an FBUS-HSE/H1 LD directly to a computer using an Ethernet crossover cable. Note Do not use a cable longer than 100 m. If you are using a 10 Mbps Ethernet, National Instruments recommends using a Category 5 shielded twisted-pair Ethernet cable.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Cabling If you build your own cables, the following table shows the standard Ethernet cable wiring connections for both normal and crossover cables. Table 2-1.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Connect the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to the Fieldbus Network The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD can be one of up to 32 devices connected to a Fieldbus H1 network. The connection is made through one of the two 9-pin male D-sub Fieldbus H1 connectors on the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD, shown in Figure 2-4. Use a Fieldbus cable with a 9-pin female D-sub connector to connect the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to a properly terminated Fieldbus network.
Chapter 2 Hardware Installation and Configuration Connect Power to the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Each FBUS-HSE/H1 LD on your network requires an 11-30 VDC power supply. The power connector is a 6-pin screw terminal power connector whose pinout is shown in Figure 2-7. v 11-30 VDC Backup Power Supply (Optional) + – c c c v v V To Adjacent Device (Optional Connection) C 11-30 VDC Primary Power Supply + – Figure 2-7.
Resetting the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD A If the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD cannot communicate with the network, you can configure the Ethernet settings through NI-FBUS software. When you configure the device, it attempts to confirm that the new settings are valid. However, if the configuration process is interrupted or the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is moved to a new network with different settings, the device might not be able to communicate with the network. If this occurs, you can manually reset the unit to its factory settings.
Appendix A Resetting the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Reset Switch Made in the USA Normal Reset Figure A-1. FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Reset Switch 3. Looking at the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD so that the label is upright, as shown in Figure A-1, use a pen or a small screwdriver to move the Reset switch to the right. 4. Power up the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD and wait for the red STATUS LED to flash. When the LED flashes, the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is in Reset mode. 5. Power down the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD and move the Reset switch back to the left. 6.
B Troubleshooting LED Indicators Hardware The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD has seven LED indicators on the top panel and three LEDs on the front panel, as shown in Figure B-1.

LEDs on the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Ethernet LEDs The six Ethernet LEDs are located on the top panel. The green POWER LED is lit while the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is powered up. This LED indicates that the power supply connected to the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is acceptable. FBUS-HSE/H1 LD User Manual B-2 ni.
Appendix B Caution Troubleshooting Do not power down the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD while the PROCESS LED is lit. The green PROCESS LED is lit when you update the nonvolatile flash memory of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD. If you want to change network settings, save channel settings or power-up values, or upgrade its firmware, you need to update the nonvolatile flash memory. The red Ethernet STATUS LED is lit when the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD detects an error.
Appendix B Troubleshooting Table B-1. Ethernet STATUS LED Flashes and Corresponding Error Conditions Number of Flashes Error Condition 0 (stays lit) The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD has not been configured with a proper IP address. 1 The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is in Reset mode. Switch the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD back to Normal mode by powering down the device and sliding the switch underneath the module. 2 The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD has detected an error in its firmware.
Appendix B Troubleshooting Table B-2. Interpretation of FBUS-HSE/H1 LD Module STATUS LED (Continued) LED State Meaning Flashing red Major recoverable fault Solid red Major unrecoverable fault Standby state indicates the linking device has passed all self tests and is ready to operate. However, it is not functioning because no active Ethernet segment is configured. Operational state indicates the linking device has left standby state because the necessary network configuration (if any) has occurred.
