Scope

Scope of application Objective For field bus communication to work optimally with field devices@ devices of the same type@ even if not from the same manufacturer@ have to behave in the same way. This can only be achieved by standardizing not only communication (i.e. selecting a standardized field bus)@ but also those device functions and device parameters which are accessed via the field bus. This end is served by a profile that is based on a device model. This guideline is dedicated to the task of ensuring that@ for the field of water management and the pertinent requirements@ the relevant device parameters and functionalities are defined in a profile. Existing device profiles (PROFIBUS PA profiles V 3.01) serve as templates for this task. This guideline is@ consequently@ an extension of existing device profiles. The specific scope of this guideline is given by the use of profiles of field buses in municipal and industrial water@ wastewater and sewage treatment plants (water management plants). This guideline defines the behaviour of field devices as visible through a communication system@ differentiating by: ? measuring devices ? analysers ? control valves The guideline does not cover@ e.g.@ programmable logic controllers@ process data servers@ parameterising tools@ engineering stations and operator stations. ?this guideline ? operating instructions/interface description of the devices ? device description ? field bus specifications ? field bus profiles (if any@ such as PROFIBUS PA)
