Create a Multi-Input Instrument with Plug-and-Socket Connections for a Fieldbus Segment - Intergraph Smart Instrumentation - Help

In the Reference Explorer, create reference panels that feed into the multi-input device panel.

In the Reference Explorer, create a reference multi-input device panel with plug- and-socket connections.

In the Reference Explorer, create reference spur cables.

• Use the same connector type required for the device panels.

• Set the male/female property for coupling with the device panels.

• On the Cable Properties dialog, under Cable class, select Conventional.

In the Instrument Index module, create instrument type profiles for multi-input plug-and-socket socket fieldbus instruments and instruments that feed into the multi- input instrument.

• For each instrument type, on the Wiring and Control System tab, select the reference device panel and reference cable that you created for each type.

• For the instrument type upon which you base the multi-input device panel, make sure that you select the Fieldbus I/O type on the Instrument Type Profile dialog and that you associate enough function blocks for the inputs. For details, see Define Foundation Fieldbus and Profibus Instrument Type Profiles.

In the Instrument Index module, create the following, based on the instrument types that you defined:

• Create the instrument tags that feed into the multi-input instrument tag.

• Create the multi-input instrument tag. Make sure that on the New Tag Number dialog, you select Fieldbus from the Tag class list.

In the Domain Explorer, right click the multi-input device panel that was created, and select Actions > Connection.

In the Plug-and-Socket Connection window, do the following to connect the input device cables to the multi-input device panel.

1. In the Domain Explorer, expand the device cables that feed into the multi- input device panel.

2. Drag the appropriate cable connectors to the in-ports of the multi-input device.

Do the following to route the multiplexed signal through a plug-and-socket junction box:

1. In the Domain Explorer, right click the junction box, and select Actions > Connection.

2. In the Domain Explorer, expand the multi-input device cable.

3. Drag the appropriate cable connector to the required in-port of the junction box in the Plug-and-Socket Connection window.

Do the following to associate the multi-input tag signal with the available function blocks in the target fieldbus segment:

1. In the Wiring Module window, select Actions > Fieldbus Tag Number Browser.

2. Check the multi-input device tag from the Tag Number List, and then find it in the Domain Explorer.

3. From the Domain Explorer, select this tag, and drag it to the target segment in the Fieldbus Segments folder of the Domain Explorer.

4. In the Fieldbus Segments folder, right click the multi-input device tag, and select Multi-Input Device Tag Association.

5. Select each tag from the Connected tags available for association pane, and select > to the Function Block - Tag Association pane.

6. Select Close.

Do the following to assign the demultiplex signals to the segment I/O card:

1. In the Domain Explorer, right-click the required DCS, then select Actions > I/O Assignment.

2. If the I/O Assignment dialog opens, select Segment I/O assignment, and select OK.

3. Select the required segment in the Segment list pane of the Segment I/O Assignment window.

4. In the I/O card details pane, select the channel to which you want to assign the demultiplex signals.

5. Select Actions > Assign to a Channel.
