    Abstract: To detect a power supply failure on an intrinsically safe field bus of a manufacturing process control system in an efficient manner there is provided a field device with a discharge protection unit which is connected to a control bus for supply of an operating current from the control bus to the field device. The discharge protection unit inhibits a discharge of energy stored in the field device to the control bus. The field device also comprises a controller unit adapted to control the operation of the field device and being powered with the operating current from the control bus. According to the present invention the discharge protection unit comprises at least two rectifying elements inserted into the current path of the operating current with identical conducting directions and an input signal or an output signal of a selected rectifying element is supplied as interrupt signal to the controller unit for power supply failure detection.

    Abstract: Systems (200, 230, 240) and methods (700) for controlling a simulation of an operation of a Fieldbus system (100) comprising at least one FIM (114, 116) communicatively coupled to field devices (122, 124). The methods involve initiating a current simulation (CS) of an operation of the FIM and/or field devices. The methods also involve obtaining intermediate simulation information (ISI) indicating a status/progress of CS. The methods further involve displaying ISI to a user of a simulation system and displaying visual elements (610, . . . , 620) for controlling the progress of CS to the user. Gantt charts (672, 674) for the FIM/field devices and visual content showing data exchanges between software elements and/or hardware elements of the simulation system can further be displayed to the user. The visual elements can facilitate speeding up CS, slowing down CS, moving the progress of CS backwards/forwards, and/or stopping/re-starting the CS.

    Abstract: A method and system for simulating the control of a process with a controller. The method creates a virtual process scheme having virtual devices connected on a virtual bus, such as a Fieldbus. The virtual scheme also includes process information. The process scheme is stored in a read/write medium and configured for communication access by a controller. The communication configuration uses an actual bus in bus protocol, such as a Fieldbus protocol. The actual bus couples with the virtual bus to replicate actual “real world” communication across the particular bus protocol. The DCS generates and transmits control communication, such as control commands based on data representing the virtual scheme. The virtual scheme data is dynamically updated with an associated Information Handling System to replicate an actual dynamic process. The seamless communication link coupled with the dynamic virtual scheme data simulates process control for the DCS.
