Now You Can.

Now You Can

Safely put all your eggs in one fieldbus basket with the TRUNKSAFE Fault-Tolerant Fieldbus System from MooreHawke.

TRUNKSAFE is a redundant fieldbus physical layer that provides a cost-effective strategy to maintain continuous communications between field devices and a DCS in the event of any single point failure (such as an open- or short-circuit) on FOUNDATION fieldbus™ and PROFIBUS PA networks. Take full advantage of fieldbus without worrying about simple cable failures.

The Fieldbus Years
Control Engineering Asia, August 2009
By Jonas Berge
The effort to create the fieldbus standard – which was officially completed 10 years ago with the release of IEC 615118 – resulted in not one but many protocols commonly referred to as “fieldbus.” Importantly, it did produce a quantum leap in technology and major international corporations began to implement fieldbus networks.

New EDDL is guiding radar: interface level made easy  
What’s New in Process Technology, July 2009
By Jonas Berge
Guided wave radar (GWR) level transmitters are ideal for challenging level and interface measurements on liquids, slurries and solids. Electronic device description language (EDDL) integrates GWR level transmitters with intelligent device management software in a way not previously possible.

Finally, Registered Hosts
Control, July 2009
By John Rezabek
As of this writing, four hosts—ABB Automation Products’ Industrial IT System 800xA, Emerson Process Management’s DeltaV and AMS Suite: Intelligent Device Manager, and Yokogawa Electric Corp.’s Centum VP and Stardom—have already passed Phase 1 of the new registered host test.

10 years of flexible functional safety
HazardEx, June 2009
Based on its openness and widespread installation, PROFIsafe is currently the global market leader with over 630,000 PROFIsafe nodes. Ten years ago, however, it was necessary to convince safety authorities, 25 renowned safety engineering companies, and users to accept the completely new technology.

Certainty of Outcome with Fieldbus
Control, June 2009
By John Rezabek
Certainty of outcome is important on any project, but delivering it isn’t free. What are some of the key areas where effort and/or investment are needed to obtain sufficient certainty of outcome for even the smallest fieldbus project?
