What is Fieldbus
Fieldbus is an industrial digital communications network specif-
ically designed for process automation use. It is meant to re-
place the existing standard 4 … 20 mA analog signal.
Fieldbus technology has been around since late 80's, but de-
veloping an international standard took a long time. There still
are several different types of fieldbus implementations, but
some of them have become more dominant than others. The
two most widely spread types are:
FOUNDATION Fieldbus (www.fieldbus.org/) and
PROFIBUS (www.profibus.com/pb/profibus/process/).
Both are based on IEC fieldbus standard, 61158.
Unpacking and Inspection
At the factory each new FI5-IS passes a careful inspection. It
should be free of scrapes and scratches and in proper opera-
tion order upon receipt. The receiver should, however, inspect
the unit for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
If there are signs of obvious mechanical damage, package
contents are incomplete, or the instrument does not operate
according to specifications, contact the purchasing sales office
as soon as possible. The standard accessories are as follows:
A warranty card,
a Declaration of Conformity,
this User Guide,
a separate multi-lingual booklet entitled
“FI5-IS Safety Information”,
MC5-IS - FI5-IS communication cable,
FI5-IS cable (fieldbus communication test leads),
fieldbus resistor for FI5-IS and
battery charger, type BC09-IS.

Batteries
The rechargeable battery inside FI5-IS provides supply power
to the communication between MC5-IS and FI5-IS.
With fresh, fully charged batteries, FI5-IS may be used for ap-
prox. 10 hours without recharging. To save batteries, discon-
nect the fieldbus cables when FI5-IS is not used. When the
front panel light is not visible, there is a minimal load on the
batteries.
Use the battery charger BC09-IS for charging the batteries.
Using other chargers may put the safety at risk.
Charging the Batteries
The charger, BC09-IS, for rechargeable batteries operates in
the following environments:
- Voltage: 100 … 240 VAC
- Frequency: 50/60 Hz
The charging time is 16 hours. When taking FI5-IS into use for
the first time, fully charge FI5-IS batteries (16 hours).
Warnings!
USE CHARGER IN SAFE AREA ONLY. The casing of the
charger is not IS-compliant.
USE ONLY THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH FI5-IS.
The charger should only be used indoors and when charging,
the environment temperature should be between 0 … +35 °C
(32 … 95 °F).
See also General Warnings on page 8.
Front Panel Light
The light on the front panel of FI5-IS is red while charging.
When not charging, fieldbus cables are connected and fieldbus
power for FI5-IS is available, the light is green.
If FI5-IS battery is almost empty, the green light is dimmed. If
battery is completely discharged, the green light is not visible.
Note.
Although the led is lit, communication is not initiated until
MC5-IS is connected to FI5-IS.

Notes and Warnings
This manual describes the use of MC5-IS and FI5-IS for
FOUNDATION Fieldbus. For additional fieldbus information,
please refer to your fieldbus control system manuals as well as
the manuals for instruments to be calibrated.
Terms like Function Block Parameters [AUTO, OOS (Out of
Service), MAN], Transducer Block etc. should be familiar be-
fore attempting to calibrate any fieldbus instruments.
The more instruments a fieldbus segment contains, the slower
the communication is. Be patient.
General Warnings
Do not use FI5-IS in any other way than as described in
this User Guide.
FI5-IS includes a rechargeable Battery Pack. They are
considered as hazardous waste. Dispose used batteries
properly according to local regulations.
Use the FI5-IS' battery charger in a non-hazardous indoor
location only. When charging, the environment tempera-
ture should be between 0 … +35 °C (32 … 95 °F). If the bat-
tery charger is broken, dispose it according to local waste
regulations and order a new charger from Beamex. Do not
connect a broken charger to FI5-IS.
Avoid short circuiting the batteries. The short circuit cur-
rent may cause burns to you, damage to the device or
even fire. The batteries may be replaced by Beamex or a
Beamex authorized service only.
Rechargeable batteries may vent small amounts of gas
during recharge. The vented gas mixture may be highly
explosive, but normally it diffuses rapidly into the atmos-
phere. To avoid danger, use only the original charger and
never recharge in a gas-tight container.

Fieldbus Related Warnings
When calibrating an instrument that is part of a control
system (live segment), first make sure, the control loop
the instrument is part of is set to manual. Also remember
to check other dependencies between the instrument to
be calibrated and other instruments. Finally, set the
Transducer Block of the instrument to be calibrated in Out
of Service mode before doing the calibration. Failure to
do/check these things may result in unexpected behavior
of the control system. The consequences may be serious
damage, injuries or death!
Using MC5-IS and FI5-IS to change the parameters of an
instrument may result in discrepancies: A fieldbus host
control system may mirror all instrument parameters in its
permanent database. In such a case, when returning an
instrument with changed parameters to a live segment,
ensure that the parameters are also available in the con-
trol system's permanent database. Also verify that the
new parameters do not result in an unstable control loop.
Do not connect two client devices (e.g. MC5-IS/FI5-IS and
a Field Communicator) at the same time to the same field-
bus segment! They may clash and make the fieldbus seg-
ment unstable.

Opening of the casing of FI5-IS is not allowed due to ATEX
safety reasons.
There are, however a few things that anyone using FI5-IS may
do.
Cleaning FI5-IS
If FI5-IS needs cleaning, use cloth soaked with a mild solution
of tall oil soap (pine soap). Wait a few minutes and then clean
using a cloth moistened with pure water. Never use any strong
detergents.
The Battery Charger
The charger is not intended to be serviced. When unusable it
can be thrown away according to local waste disposal regula-
tions.

General 11
Terminology
There are some inconsistencies between the terminologies
used when calibrating/adjusting/trimming traditional analog in-
struments and new fieldbus instruments.
For both instrument types, the procedure has three phases:
1. Comparing the instrument against a more accurate de-
vice (calibrator). This documents the instrument's state
"As Found". If all is well (instrument is accurate enough),
the 2nd and 3rd phase are not needed.
2. Adjusting/trimming the instrument.
3. Re-comparing to create an "As Left" document of the in-
strument's state after adjustment/trimming.
The leftmost picture below presents the terms used when cali-
brating analog instruments. The rightmost one shows the
terms used in fieldbus instruments and fieldbus control system
software. The numbers of the three phases are shown in the
middle.
For analog instruments the term "Calibration" is used for
comparison phases (1st and 3rd). Phase two is called "Adjust-
ment" or "Trimming".
In the user interfaces and manuals of fieldbus instruments and
fieldbus control system software, the second phase is called
"Calibration", "Adjustment" and/or "Trimming". So, to avoid
confusion Beamex uses the term "Verifying Calibration" for
the comparison phases in fieldbus environment.

MC5-IS, FI5-IS and FOUNDATION Fieldbus
A FOUNDATION Fieldbus segment always has a master de-
vice called Link Active Scheduler (LAS). Beamex's MC5-IS
and FI5-IS are together seen as a guest device (visitor). Con-
necting FI5-IS only to the fieldbus does not "awaken" LAS, but
once MC5-IS is communicating with FI5-IS, the LAS should in-
dicate that a guest device is part of a fieldbus segment.
If a fieldbus segment does not have a LAS, MC5-IS/FI5-IS
takes care of the LAS duties.
Calibration Procedure of a Fieldbus Instrument, General
This chapter presents the broad outline of a calibration proce-
dure when calibrating a FOUNDATION Fieldbus instrument us-
ing MC5-IS and FI5-IS. The focus is on presenting require-
ments unique for FOUNDATION Fieldbus. Being aware of the
details presented here allows you to perform a safe and fluent
calibration procedure.
A more detailed description of connecting MC5-IS and FI5-IS
to a FOUNDATION Fieldbus as well as performing the actual
calibration is presented further on in this manual.
1. Preparing for the Calibration Procedure
There are two ways to calibrate a FOUNDATION Fieldbus in-
strument that is part of a live fieldbus segment: Doing it on site
or taking the instrument to a workshop for calibration. In both
cases:
Set the instrument's Transducer Block in Out of Service
(OOS) mode (if applicable). This informs the control sys-
tem that the instrument's input signal is not available
(usable).
Make sure any other dependencies are set to manual or
other corresponding state.
If you calibrate the instrument on site, do the necessary con-
nections and continue to step 2. When taking the instrument to
a workshop for calibration, the following additional task is
needed:
Set the instrument as a "Spare Device" in the control
system ("Off Line" in some systems).
See chapter Notes and Warnings on page 8 for possible risks
when working in a live segment.

General 13
2. Verifying Calibration, As Found
Perform the Verifying Calibration using MC5-IS/FI5-IS for
FOUNDATION Fieldbus as presented in chapters further on.
Verifying Calibration of fieldbus instruments is basically done
as the calibration of analog and HART® instruments. The mi-
nor differences that exist are due to the instrument's fully digi-
tal output.
Notes.
To be able to perform a Verifying Calibration, the instru-
ment needs to have a Tag and the Node Address can not
be in the Default Address area.
New FOUNDATION Fieldbus instruments are often
shipped with an empty or default Tag and the Node Ad-
dress is in the Default Address area. Enter a temporary
Tag and Node Address to do the Verifying Calibration of a
new instrument.
3. Calibration (Trimming, Adjusting)
Calibrate (Trim, Adjust) the fieldbus instrument using MC5-
IS/FI5-IS as presented in chapters further on.
Note.
MC5-IS and FI5-IS affect the instrument's Transducer
Block only. It is there the instrument's calibration parame-
ters are located.
4. Verifying Calibration, As Left
Again, perform the Verifying Calibration using MC5-IS/FI5-IS
as presented in chapters further on.
5. Returning the Instrument to a Live Fieldbus Segment
Returning an instrument to a live fieldbus segment requires
opposite tasks than those done in step 1.
Again, see chapter Notes and Warnings on page 8 for possi-
ble problems when returning instruments to a live segment.

14 General
Device Descriptions
Each FOUNDATION fieldbus instrument type is unique in what
kind of parameters it has in its memory. A few common para-
meters are similar in all devices, but to fully communicate with
a FOUNDATION fieldbus instrument, you need to have a de-
vice description file that defines all the parameters in the in-
strument.
Device description files are done by the instrument manufac-
turers and made available via manufacturer's and certain field-
bus sites.
MC5-IS accesses only the instrument's Transducer Block.
Therefore Beamex publishes special device descriptions for
MC5-IS and the instruments connected to it. Please contact
Beamex if you need device descriptions for new instruments.
For contact info, see the first pages of this manual.
The following chapters describe how available device descrip-
tions can be viewed in MC5-IS and also how to add new de-
vice descriptions to MC5-IS.
