without additional potential equalization, mains frequency equalizing currents can
occur that damage the cable or shield. In such cases, the shielding of the fieldbus cable
is to be grounded on one side only, i.e. it must not be connected to the ground terminal
of the housing. The shield that is not connected should be insulated!
We recommend that the fieldbus not be looped using conventional cable glands. If you
replace even just one measuring device at a later date, the bus communication will
have to be interrupted.

5.2.3 FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ cable specification
Cable type
Twin-core cables are generally advisable for connecting the device to the FOUNDATION
Fieldbus H1. Following IEC 61158-2 (MBP), four different cable types (A, B, C, D) can be
used for FOUNDATION Fieldbus™, only two of which (cable types A and B) are shielded.
• Cable types A or B are particularly preferable for new installations. Only these types have
cable shielding that guarantees adequate protection from electromagnetic interference
and thus the most reliable data transfer. In the case of cable type B, several fieldbuses
(same degree of protection) may be operated in one cable. No other circuits are
permissible in the same cable.
• Practical experience has shown that cable types C and D should not be used due to the
lack of shielding, since the freedom from interference generally does not meet the
requirements described in the standard.

Electrical connection RID14

The electrical data of the fieldbus cable have not been specified but determine important
characteristics of the design of the fieldbus, such as distances bridged, number of users,
electromagnetic compatibility, etc.

Suitable fieldbus cables (type A) from various manufacturers for non-hazardous areas are
listed below:
• Siemens: 6XV1 830-5BH10
• Belden: 3076F
• Kerpen: CeL-PE/OSCR/PVC/FRLA FB-02YS(ST)YFL
Maximum overall cable length
The maximum network expansion depends on the type of protection and the cable
specifications. The overall cable length comprises the length of the main cable and the
length of all spurs (>1 m (3.28 ft)). Please note the following:
• The maximum permissible overall cable length depends on the cable type used.
• If repeaters are used the maximum permitted cable length is doubled! A maximum of
three repeaters are permitted between user and master.
Maximum spur length
The line between the distribution box and field device is described as a spur. In the case of
non-Ex applications, the max. length of a spur depends on the number of spurs
(> 1 m (3.28 ft)):
Number of spurs 1 to 12 13 to 14 15 to 18 19 to 24 25 to 32
Max. length per spur 120 m (393 ft) 90 m (295 ft) 60 m (196 ft) 30 m (98 ft) 1 m (3.28 ft)
Number of field devices
In accordance with IEC 61158-2 (MBP), a maximum of 32 field devices can be connected
per fieldbus segment. However, this number is restricted under certain conditions
(explosion protection, bus power option, field device current consumption). A maximum of
four field devices can be connected to a spur.

RID14 Electrical connection
Endress+Hauser 15
Shielding and grounding
NOTICE
Equalizing currents can damage the bus cable or bus shield
‣If the shielding of the cable is grounded at more than one point in systems without
potential matching, mains frequency equalizing currents can occur that damage the bus
cable or the bus shield or have a serious effect on signal transmission. In such cases,
the shielding of the fieldbus cable is to be grounded on one side only, i.e. it must not be
connected to the ground terminal of the housing. The shield that is not connected
should be insulated!
Optimum electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) of the fieldbus system can only be
guaranteed if the system components and, in particular, the lines are shielded and the
shield forms as complete a cover as possible. A shield coverage of 90% is ideal.
• To ensure an optimum EMC protective effect, connect the shield as often as possible to
the reference ground.
• For reasons of explosion protection, you should refrain from grounding however.
To meet both requirements, the FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ allows three different types of
shielding:
• Shielding at both ends
• Shielding at one end on the feed side with capacitance termination at the field device
• Shielding at one end on the feed side
Experience shows that the best results with regard to EMC are achieved in most cases in
installations with shielding at one end. Appropriate measures with regard to input wiring
must be taken to allow unrestricted operation when EMC interference is present. These
measures have been taken into account for this device. Operation in the event of
disturbance variables as per NAMUR NE21 is possible with shielding at one end.
Where applicable, national installation regulations and guidelines must be observed
during the installation!
Where there are large differences in potential between the individual grounding points,
only one point of the shielding is connected directly with the reference ground. In systems
without potential equalization, therefore, cable shielding of fieldbus systems should only
be grounded on one side, for example at the fieldbus supply unit or at safety barriers.

a switch. If this is not the case, a separate bus terminator must be installed. Please also
note the following:
• In the case of a branched bus segment, the measuring device furthest from the segment
coupler represents the end of the bus.
• If the fieldbus is extended with a repeater, then the extension must also be terminated at
both ends.
Further information
General information and further pointers on wiring can be found on www.fieldbus.org, the
website of the Fieldbus Foundation.
5.3 Ensuring the degree of protection
The devices fulfill the requirements for the IP 67 degree of protection. Compliance with
the following points is mandatory to ensure IP 67 protection is guaranteed after
installation or after service work:
• The housing seal must be clean and undamaged when inserted into the groove. The seal
should be cleaned, dried or replaced.
• The connecting cables must be of the specified outer diameter (e.g., M16 x 1.5, cable
diameter 5 to 10 mm (0.2 to 0.39 in)).
• Replace all unused cable entries with dummy plugs.
• The cable entry seal may not be removed from the cable entry.
• The housing cover and cable entry/entries must be closed securely.
• Install the device in such a way that the cable entries point downwards.
5.4 Post-connection check

The backlit LCD display contains a bar graph (0-100) and arrows to indicate measured
values above or below the measuring range. Analog process values, digital status and
failure codes are displayed in the 7-segment area. Here up to 8 values can be displayed
with an alternating time of between 2 and 20 seconds. Plain text can be displayed in the
14-segment area (text is limited to 16 characters and is scrolled if needed).
The indicator also displays the quality of the measured value. If the status of the displayed
value is 'good' (value equal to or above 0x80), no symbol is lit and the indicator remains in
the normal operational state. If the status of the displayed value is 'uncertain' (value
between 0x40 and 0x7F), the 'Uncertain measured value status' symbol is lit. If the status
is 'bad' (value below 0x40), within the 7-segment area the display will show "BAD" and the
channel number where the bad value is published. The channel number is also displayed in
the 14-segment area.

7.1 FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ technology
The FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ (FF) is a purely digital, serial communication system that
connects fieldbus devices (sensors, actuators), automation and process control systems
with each other. As a local communications network (LAN) for field devices, the FF was
primarily designed for the requirements of process engineering. The FF is therefore the
basic network in the overall hierarchy of a communication system.

The system can be connected in the following ways:
• A linking device can be used to connect to superior fieldbus protocols (e.g. to the High
Speed Ethernet - HSE).
• A H1 connecting card is required for direct connection to a process control system.
• System inputs are directly available for H1 (HSE).
The system architecture of the FOUNDATION Fieldbus™ can be divided into two
subnetworks:
H1 bus system:
In the field, fieldbus devices are connected only via the slower H1 bus system that is
specified following IEC 61158-2. The H1 bus system enables simultaneous power supply
to the field devices and data transfer on the two-wire cable.
The following points describe some important characteristics of the H1 bus system:
• All fieldbus devices are powered via the H1 bus. Like the fieldbus devices, the power
supply unit is connected in parallel to the bus line. Devices requiring external power
must use a separate power supply.
• The line structure is one of the most common network structures. Star, tree or mixed
network structures are also possible using connecting components (junction boxes).
• The bus connection to the individual fieldbus devices is achieved by means of a T-
connector or via a spur. This has the advantage that individual fieldbus devices can be
connected or disconnected without interrupting the bus or the bus communication.
• The number of connected fieldbus devices depends on various factors, such as use in
hazardous areas, the length of the spur, cable types, current consumption of the field
devices, etc. (see the "Cable specifications" section in the Operating Instructions).
• When fieldbus devices are used in a hazardous area, the H1 bus must be equipped with
an intrinsically safe barrier before the transition to the hazardous area.
• A bus terminator is required at each end of the bus segment.
