- the improved intrinsically safe field maintenance tool described above facilitates enhanced fieldbus-specific and HART®-specific diagnostics as will be set forth in greater detail below.
- Fig. 4 is a flow diagram of a first FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus specific diagnostic method executable using an improved intrinsically safe field maintenance tool in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
- • tool 22 when • tool 22 is first coupled to an HI segment (twisted pair wire transmission line) tool 22 will identify all devices connected to that segment, as indicated in block 60. This identification is done independent of the "live list.”
- the "live list” as used herein means a list of nodes that a master device has identified on the network, which list is circulated among network masters.
- a software option within tool 22 permits a user to skip the poll of all addresses executed in block 60 and simply command tool 22 to employ the existing live list.
- the list of connected identified devices can be compared to the "live list" to identify differences between the actual devices found on the HI segment and the live list, as indicated at block 62.
- the comparison can be used to generate a diagnostic output, as indicated at block 64.
- a field maintenance operator can execute this diagnostic on demand via the keypad (not shown) .
- Fig. 5 is a flow diagram of a second FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus specific ' diagnostic method executable with embodiments of the present invention.
- tool 22 communicates very rapidly to each identified device on the HI segment, as indicated at block 70. Following the rules of the communication protocol, tool 22 transmits as many messages as possible to each device.
- tool 22 logs all communications errors experienced for each node on the HI segment.
- tool 22 communicates a log of errors experienced on the HI segment as indicated at block 74. Such communication may take the form of sending appropriate information to a control room or simply displaying such log information on the user interface of tool 22.
- Typical faults include a loose connection, defective terminators, electronic fault and/or related to the topology.
- a software option exists that permits the field maintenance user to select individual nodes for tool 22 to interrogate for communication errors.
- Tool 22 can also measure additional characteristics of the FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus segment to which it is coupled. Specifically, tool 22 can be used to measure the noise level on the fieldbus segment. Preferably, tool 22 employs one or more ⁇ frequency-specific filters to measure signal amplitude within a selected frequency band. For example, tool 22 preferably employs a low-pass filter to extract a low-frequency portion of noise present on the fieldbus segment. This parameter can provide valuable troubleshooting information to field maintenance operators. Specifically, it may indicate a problem caused by a faulty power supply. Additionally, tool 22 can employ a band-pass filter to extract noise information near the frequency ' of FOUNDATIONTM Fieldbus signaling frequencies during the time between messages .
- tool 22 can also be used to measure the capacitance in a FOUNDATIONTM fieldbus segment .
- the capacitance information can be used to detect shielding or grounding problems .
- the improved intrinsically safe field maintenance tool can also be used to execute a number of HART® specific diagnostics.
- tool 22 is preferably adapted to communicate using two distinct voltage levels for HART® communications.
- the first HART® communications voltage level (normal) is selected to meet the HART® specifications set forth above.
- the second voltage level is for communication by tool 22 in an enhanced communication mode when tool 22 will generate a stronger signal than meets the HART® specification and will listen and respond to signals weaker than those normally allowed by the HART® specification.
- HART network diagnostic method includes sending a HART® command zero to each HART® network address in normal mode. The sent message count is incremented every time tool 22 attempts to communicate with a given HART® address.
- the diagnostics within tool 22 increment the count of good replies received by that address and the diagnostic method moves on to the next address. However, if there is either an error in the reply from the selected network address, or no reply at all, then tool 22 transitions into the enhanced communication mode. In the enhanced communication mode, the higher voltage level is used to generate HART® communication signals that are at amplitudes which exceed those normally allowed by the HART® specification. If a reply with no errors is received from the selected network address in the enhanced communication mode, then the weak reply count of that network address is incremented. Tool 22 moves to the next network address and will continue to try all network addresses until the field maintenance operator instructs tool 22 to halt, or an auto-power off event occurs. Preferably, software within tool 22 allows the field maintenance user to select specific HART network addresses to be polled. Further still, groups of network addresses t are also preferably selectable. Thus, a field maintenance operator could, for example, selectably pull address 0, 1 and 4.
- Fig. 6 is a diagrammatic view of a screen layout illustrating information regarding the results of HART® specific network diagnostics on a display 80 in accordance with embodiments of the present invention.
- Display 80 in some embodiments, displays data relative to all 16 addresses on the HART® segment. However, it is expressly contemplated that in order to facilitate suitably readable displays, that one or more screens may be required to display all 16 addresses.
- display 80 includes a portion 82 that provides information regarding the DC voltage on the loop.
- Portion 84 illustrates the HART® address of the tested device and preferably shows only those HART® devices configured to be scanned.
- "Messages Sent" portion 86 provides the total number of HART messages sent to the device at the specified address. Note, all counts preferably roll to *** if the number of characters exceeds the allowed space in the column. If this occurs, the total number • of messages sent will be available in the "detail" screen if the field maintenance operator selects details portion 88 relative to the selected device address. "Good Reply” portion 90 and “Weak Reply” portion 92 illustrate the total number of replies heard when in normal signaling mode, and in the enhanced signaling mode, respectively.
- Network quality portion 94 provides a word qualification of the communication quality observed with the specified address. Preferred levels and suggested names are as follows :
- a - good - HART® network is usable with standard HART® modems, such as multiplexers and commercially available control systems to- provide continuous feedback data from the device.
- Network can be used for continuous data from the device;
- B -usable - HART® network is usable with standard HART® modems, such as multiplexers and commercially available control systems to configure and check device status .
- Network can be used for configuration of the devices with standard HART® modems.
- Network is not reliable enough for continuous data flow from the devices for advanced diagnostics such as Valve Signatures;
- C -Weak- HART® network is only usable with tool 22 in the enhanced communication mode.
- the network device will not work reliably with multiplexers or other commercially available HART® products; and D -No Device- HART® network not usable.
- Additional portions of display 80 are shown at 96, 98 and 100.
- Portion 96 when selected by the field maintenance operator, will selectably start and stop the network scan.
- Portion 98 will select a specific HART® address to be scanned.
- selecting portion 100 allows the field maintenance operator to exit the screen.
- an improved intrinsically safe field maintenance tool includes a number of hardware enhancements as well as enhanced industry- protocol specific network diagnostics.
- the improved intrinsically safe field maintenance tool is advantageously useable with a plurality of process communication and measurement loops having one or the other industry standard communication protocols .
- a field maintenance technician need not carry multiple distinct • hand held devices into the field, but may advantageously use a single tool to interact with a plurality of process industry standard communication loops.
