Abstract:
An interface module is operatively connected to a Fieldbus process control network and to at least one non-Fieldbus process control network to facilitate the exchange of process control information between the networks. The interface module stores a database in which the process control parameters of the function blocks in the field devices of the Fieldbus process control network are mapped to corresponding process control parameters of the non-Fieldbus process control network. Once the Fieldbus process control parameters are mapped to the non-Fieldbus process control parameters, the interface module is adapted to transmit request messages on the Fieldbus process control network to the Fieldbus field devices for the current values of the process control parameters, receive response messages from the Fieldbus field devices, and store the current values of the process control parameters in the database. The interface module may also function in the other direction to map non-Fieldbus process control parameters to corresponding Fieldbus process control parameters.
