    摘要: Systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating communications between an external controller and Fieldbus devices are described. A primary linking device in communication with the controller and one or more Fieldbus devices may be configured to direct the communication of a timing message to the controller and determine whether a response to the timing message has been received from the controller. Based upon the determination, the primary linking device may direct a switching of communications control to a secondary linking device.

    摘要: A device includes an interface configured to receive an indication of a second device on a network, and a processor configured to determine if the indication is one of an expected set of indications and generate a permanent node address for assignment to the second device if the indication is one of an expected set of indications. The permanent node address places the second device into an active mode as a permanent node addressed device. The processor is further configured to receive at least one device parameter from the permanent node addressed device, determine if the at least one device parameter matches an expected device parameter for the permanent node addressed device, and generate a second permanent node address for assignment to the device if the at least one device parameter matches the expected device parameter for the permanent node addressed device.

    摘要: An industrial process control system is provided that includes one or more fieldbus devices configured to communicate alarm or alert information representative of alarms and alerts using a first format. The industrial process control system also includes a linking device connected to the one or more fieldbus devices that is configured to publish the alarm or alert information from the fieldbus devices to one or more computers of the industrial process control system. A controller is also included that is configured to receive the alarm or alert information from the linking device. The controller is configured to interpret the alarm or alert information and create a list of the alarms and alerts in a second format interpretable by an alarm server of the industrial process control system, wherein the alarm server cannot interpret the first format.

    摘要: Systems and methods for write protecting Foundation Fieldbus linking devices are described. A message output by an external system for communication to a Foundation Fieldbus linking device may be received by a gateway device. The linking device may be identified by a virtual address included in the received message. The gateway device may determine whether the message includes a command to write data to the linking device or a Foundation Fieldbus device connected to the linking device. If it is determined that the message does not include a command to write data, then the gateway device may direct communication of the message to the linking device. If, however, it is determined that the message includes a command to write data, the gateway device may generate an exception for preventing the requested write operation.
