The FEC module interfaces analog and digital signals from field devices to the MFP or MFC module. The IMFEC11 module can interface Bailey-Fischer & Porter FSK smart transmitters and other smart devices.

The IMFEC12 is for use with conventional transmitters (BC, EQ and PT) and standard analog inputs.

The IMFEC11 module can operate in one of two modes: FSK field bus mode or FSK analog point-to-point mode. In the FSK field bus mode, a single two-wire input (bus) links a maximum of 15 FSK smart transmitters.

All inputs (process data and module to transmitter communication) are in the frequency

shift keyed format and share the field bus.

Refer to the NTFB01 Field Bus Termination Unit instruction for specific limitations on field bus communications.

All field devices must be Bailey-Fischer & Porter when using this mode In the FSK analog point-to-point mode, the IMFEC11 module can interface up to 15 discrete analog process inputs from FSK

smart devices and communicate (digitally) with those devices.

Additionally, the IMFEC11 module can interface a mixture of conventional transmitters and other external analog inputs while operating in this mode.

These devices can input only process data to the FEC module; they cannot communicate to the

The FEC module stores process data, control commands and transmitter configuration data in memory.

It works to restore communication with a transmitter if a communication failure occurs.

Upon restoring communication with a failed transmit ter, the FEC module checks the transmitter configuration before the control module (MFP/MFC) resumes updating the process control

INTRODUCTION

This section explains the operation of the IMFEC1 Analog Input Module (FEC). The module does two major tasks.

It pro vides an interface by which the controlling module (multifunc tion processor or multifunction controller module (MFP/MFC))can input analog process data from external devices or smart

transmitters. It also serves as a communication link between the INFI 90 OPEN control system and field devices.

The IMFEC12 module accepts inputs from conventional trans mitters (BC, EQ and PT) and standard analog inputs of 4 to 20 milliamps, 1 to 5 VDC, 0 to 1 VDC, 0 to 5 VDC, 0 to 10 VDC and -10 to +10 VDC. The IMFEC11 has all the functionality of the IMFEC12 module but also provides FSK communications for interface to Bailey-Fischer & Porter smart transmitters and other smart devices.

GENERAL OPERATION

Upon receiving initialization from the controlling module (MFP/MFC), the FEC module stores that information in memory and checks the configuration of each input channel.

If all input channels check good, operation begins. If the FEC module detects a configuration error, that error appears in the module status report.

Under normal operation, the controlling module sends trans mitter commands and requests process input data and status information from the FEC module.

The FEC module continu ously reads each input channel, does the necessary conver sions and stores the data in memory.

When the controlling module makes a request for data, the FEC module sends it the most current information that it has in memory.

If a communication failure with one of the transmitters occurs,the FEC module works to restore communication while con tinuing normal operation.

It checks the transmitter configura tion upon restoring transmitter communication and normal process control continues.
