Fieldbus Foundation
© 1999 - 2014 Fieldbus Foundation
• Fieldbus Foundation has reached many major milestones over the last 20 years• FOUNDATION™ fieldbus has an accelerating rate of global adoption• Major installations are found in the oil & gas, petrochemical, power,
paper, pharmaceutical and consumer goods industries• Sales of fieldbus-based products are a growing portion of automation
industry business
Two Decades of Progress
© 1999 - 2014 Fieldbus Foundation
• Path to developing FOUNDATION fieldbus technology originally began in the 1970s• Control system suppliers attempted to distribute automation
functionality to the field• Introduction of the Distributed Control System
(DCS) allowed distribution of intelligent controlthroughout industrial plants
Origins of the Technology
© 1999 - 2014 Fieldbus Foundation
• Controls manufacturers, end users, academic institutions and others collaborated on an international, interoperablefieldbus standard• Open digital communication protocol for field devices was needed
to replace competing, proprietary solutions• Fieldbus Foundation was established in 1994, leading to
unprecedented levels ofsystem and deviceinteroperability forprocess automation
Origins of the Technology (Cont’d)

Usability Project• Make digital fieldbus solutions easier to use than conventional
analog systems• Enable plant owners to focus on what technology can do for them and
their business, versus how it is managed• Simplify development of new
fieldbus-based productsand applications
Latest Initiatives

Field Device Integration (FDI)• Leading industry organizations are seeking a unified approach to FDI
for simple and complex devices• FDI solution encompasses tasks ranging from device configuration to
commissioning, diagnosticsand calibration
• FDI Cooperation specificationand developer tools arenow available
Latest Initiatives (Cont’d)

FOUNDATION for Safety Instrumented Functions (SIF)• Extends fieldbus benefits into plant safety systems• Meets the requirements of IEC 61508 for functional safety of
electrical, electronic and programmable electronic safety-related systems up to SIL 3
• Supports systems per IEC 61511, covering SIF functional safety in the process industries
Latest Initiatives (Cont’d)

FOUNDATION for Remote Operations Management (ROM)• Established a single digital infrastructure for asset management in
remote applications• Enables fieldbus connectivity to remote I/O and the leading industrial
wireless protocols, including WirelessHART® and ISA 100.11a• Provides interface to wireless technologies using EDDL and function
blocks for interoperabilitywith ROM devices
Latest Initiatives (Cont’d)

Greater Support for the Automation Industry• Fieldbus Foundation and HART Communication Foundation have
entered into discussions on a potential merger• Single industry foundation would meet the needs of intelligent device
communications in the world of process automation• Combined resources would
provide significant benefits toboth automation end usersand suppliers
