CC-PFB401  Fieldbus Interface Module

The high-performance Experion Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs) thrust integration technology light years ahead by completely and transparently integrating FOUNDATION Fieldbus with the Experion system. The Series C and Chassis I/O-Series A (CIOM-A) Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs) help provide the benefits you expect from this powerful technology.
The Series C FIM represents the latest advances in capacity, cost-effectiveness and performance from Honeywell. Two module types are available (one that supports four (4) H1 links and one that supports (8) H1 links). Both types can be configured in a redundant or non-redundant fashion and integrate transparently with the Experion PKS C300 Controller and ACE node. The Series C FIM4 and FIM8 features a high-capacity design that delivers system-wide integration of data access, control, connections, diagnostics, and alarms with the Experion PKS system.

Control Builder, the common Experion engineering tool, integrates Fieldbus and other control components into a single, unified database. Connections between FOUNDATION Fieldbus and Controller function blocks are achieved easily, transparently and quickly with a stroke of the mouse. Control “in the field” (between Fieldbus devices) is handled with equal ease. Fieldbus and the Experion function blocks can be mixed and matched in the same control drawings. Just drag, drop and use!
The Control Builder tool not only offers an efficient process for control system configuration, but it also results in significant project cost and time savings. Control Builder helps make interconnection between FOUNDATION Fieldbus and Experion as effortless as possible.
