1.0 FOUNDATION fie dbus™
1.1 Overview
FOUNDATION fieldbus™is a digital communications system
that serially interconnects devices in the field. A Fieldbus
system is similar to a Distributed Control System (DCS)
with two exceptions
• Although a FOUNDATION fieldbus™system can use the
same physical wiring as 4–20 mA device, Fieldbus
devices are not connected point to point, but rather
are multidropped and wired in parallel on a single pair
of wires (referred to as a segment).
•F
OUNDATION fieldbus™is a system that allows the
user to distribute control across a network. Fieldbus
devices are smart and can actually maintain control
over the system.
Unlike 4–20 mA analog installations in which the two wires
carry a single variable (the varying 4–20 mA current), a dig-
ital communications scheme such as FOUNDATION fieldbus™
considers the two wires as a network. The network can carry
many process variables as well as other information. The
PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter is a
FOUNDATION fieldbus™registered device that communicates
with the H1 FOUNDATION fieldbus™protocol operating at
31.25 kbits/sec. The H1 physical layer is an approved IEC
61158 standard.
Details regarding cable specifications, grounding, termina-
tion, and other physical layer network information can be
found in IEC 61158 or the wiring installation application
guide AG-140 at www.fiel bus.org.

1.2 Device Description (DD)
An important requirement of Fieldbus devices is the
concept of interoperability, defined as “the ability to operate
multiple devices in the same system, regardless of manufac-
turer, without loss of functionality.”
Device Description (DD) technology is used to achieve this
interoperability. The DD provides extended descriptions
for each object and provides pertinent information needed
by the host system. DDs are similar to the drivers that your
personal computer (PC) uses to operate peripheral devices
connected to it. Any Fieldbus host system can operate with
a device if it has the proper DD and Common File Format
(CFF) for that device.
The most recent DD and CFF files can be found on the
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ web site at www.fieldbus.org.
NOTE: Consult your host system vendor for any host-spe ifi files that
may be needed.

1.3 Link Active Schedu er (LAS)
The default operating class of the PULSAR Model R96 FF
with FOUNDATION fieldbus™is a Basic device. However, it is
capable of being configured as a Link Active Scheduler
(LAS).
The LAS controls all communication on a FOUNDATION
fieldbus™ segment. It maintains the “Live List” of all
devices on a segment and coordinates both the cyclic and
acyclic timing.
The primary LAS is usually maintained in the host system,
but in the event of a failure, all associated control can be
transferred to a backup LAS in a field device such as the
PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter.
NOTES:
1) The PULSAR Model R96 is normally shipped from the fa tory with
Devi e Class set to Basi .
2) The operating lass an be hanged from Basi to LAS using a
FOUNDATION fieldbus™ onfiguration tool.

1.4 Intrinsic Safety
The H1 physical layer supports Intrinsic Safety (IS) applica-
tions with bus-powered devices. To accomplish this, an
Intrinsically Safe barrier or galvanic isolator is placed
between the power supply in the safe area and the device in
the hazardous area.
H1 also supports the Fieldbus Intrinsically Safe Concept
(FISCO) model which allows more field devices in a net-
work. The FISCO model considers the capacitance and
inductance of the wiring to be distributed along its entire
length. Therefore, the stored energy during a fault will be
less and more devices are permitted on a pair of wires.
Instead of the conservative entity model, which only allows
about 90 mA of current, the FISCO model allows a maxi-
mum of 110 mA for Class II C installations and 240 mA
for Class II B installations.
FISCO certifying agencies have limited the maximum seg-
ment length to 1000 meters because the FISCO model does
not rely on standardized ignition curves.
The PULSAR Model R96 FF is available with entity IS,
FISCO IS, FNICO non-incendive, or explosion proof
approvals.

2.0 Standard Function B ocks
2.1 Overview
The function of a FOUNDATION fieldbus™device is deter-
mined by the arrangement of a system of blocks defined by
the Fieldbus foundation. The types of blocks used in a typi-
cal User Application are described as either Standard or
Advanced.
Function Blocks are built into the FOUNDATION fieldbus™
devices as needed to provide the desired control system
behavior. The input and output parameters of function
blocks can be linked over the Fieldbus and there can be
numerous function blocks in a single User Application.
The PULSAR Model R96 FF is a Pulse Burst Radar level
transmitter with the following standard
FOUNDATION fieldbus™Function Blocks
• One (1) Resource Block (RB)
• Two (2) Custom Transducer Blocks (TB)
• Six (6) Analog Input Function Blocks (AI)
• Two (2) PID Blocks (PID)
With Advanced Function Blocks
• One (1) Arithmetic Block (AR)
• One (1) Input Selector Block (IS)
• One (1) Signal Characterizer Block (SC)
The idea of Function Blocks, which a user can customize
for a particular application, is a key concept of Fieldbus
topology. Function Blocks consist of an algorithm, inputs
and outputs, and a user-defined Block Tag.
The Transducer Block (TB) output is available to the net-
work through the Analog Input (AI) blocks. Refer to
Section 2.3 for additional information on the Transducer
Blocks.
The AI blocks take the TB values and make them available
as an analog value to other function blocks. The AI blocks
have scaling conversion, filtering, and alarm functions.
Refer to Section 2.4 for additional information on the
Analog Input Blocks.
As shown in the diagram at left, the end user typically
configures the Process Variable value as an Analog Input to
their fieldbus network.

The following are general descriptions of the parameters
common to all function blocks. Additional information for
a given parameter may be described later in a section that
describes the specific block.
ST_REV a read only parameter that gives the revision level
of the static data associated with the block. This parameter
will be incremented each time a static parameter attribute
value is written and is a vehicle for tracking changes in static
parameter attributes.
TAG_DESC a user assigned parameter that describes the
intended application of any given block.
STRATEGY: a user assigned parameter that identifies
groupings of blocks associated with a given network connec-
tion or control scheme.
ALERT_KEY a user assigned parameter which may be used
in sorting alarms or events generated by a block.
MODE_BLK a structured parameter composed of the
actual mode, the target mode, the permitted mode(s), and
the normal mode of operation of a block.
• Target The mode to “go to”
• Actual The mode the “block is currently in”
• Permitted Allowed modes that target may take on
• Normal Most common mode for target
NOTES:
1) It may be required to hange the MODE_BLK target parameter to
OOS (out of servi e) to hange onfiguration parameters in that
spe ifi fun tion blo k. (When in OOS, the normal algorithm is no
longer exe uted and any outstanding alarms are leared.)
2) All blo ks must be in an operating mode for the devi e to oper-
ate. This requires the Resour e Blo k and the Transdu er Blo k
to be in “AUTO” before the spe ifi fun tion blo k an be pla ed
in a mode other than OOS (out of servi e).
BLOCK_ERR: a parameter that reflects the error status of
hardware or software components associated with, and
directly affecting, the correct operation of a block.
NOTE: A BLOCK_ERR of “Simulation A tive” in the Resour e Blo k
does not mean simulation is a tive—it merely indi ates that the
simulation (hardware) enabling jumper is present. (See page 21
and refer to Se tion 2.4.5 for additional information).

2.2 Resource B ock
The RESOURCE BLOCK describes the characteristics of
the FOUNDATION fieldbus™device such as the device name,
manufacturer, and serial number. As it only contains data
specific to the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmitter, it has
no control function.

MODE_BLK Must be in AUTO in order for the remain-
ing function blocks in the transmitter to operate.
NOTE: A Resour e Blo k in “out of servi e” mode will stop all fun tion
blo k exe ution in the transmitter.
RS_STATE Identifies the state of the RESOURCE block
state machine. Under normal operating conditions, it
should be “On-Line.”
DD_RESOURCE A string identifying the tag of the
resource that contains the Device Description for this
device.
MANUFAC_ID Contains Magnetrol International’s
FOUNDATION fieldbus™manufacturer’s ID number, which is
0x000156.
DEV_TYPE The model number of the PULSAR Model
R96 FF transmitter (0x0007). It is used by the Host System
and other fieldbus interface devices to locate the Device
Descriptor (DD) file.
DEV_REV Contains the device revision of the PULSAR
Model R96 FF transmitter and is used by the Host System
and other fieldbus interface devices to correctly select the
associated DD.
DD_REV Contains the revision of the DD associated with
the device revision of the PULSAR Model R96 FF transmit-
ter. It is used by the Host System and other Fieldbus inter-
face devices to correctly select the associated DD.
GRANT_DENY Options for controlling access of host
computer and local control panels to operating, tuning and
alarm parameters of the block.
HARD_TYPES The types of hardware available as channel
numbers.
RESTART Default and Processor are the available selec-
tions. Default will reset the Model R96 to the default
function block configuration.
NOTE: As RESTART DEFAULT will set most fun tion blo k onfigura-
tion parameters to their default values. Devi es need to be
re onfigured following a tivation of this fun tion.
