Checkthis manualon DP-FF link and what blocks are available for integration in PCS7. Also attached is screenshot on the quantities supported.
You are right, it is not an indigenous product from siemens, but it's co-operation betweenSiemens and Emerson |

Hey Pratapks, In case you haven't noticed thisis the Siemens forum! We (Siemens) are member of PI, who needs FF? The question is not if a single person is there who has implemented FF with PCS7, the question is can that one (or two or three) person notice your thread and respond... I am doing my part in keeping your thread "alive"... Regards |

Dear Phantom 75, I heard you saying tht we are a member of profibus group but fortunately we are also a member of the FF group (www.FoundationFieldbus.org) and that is perhaps the reason i asked the question. FF has been very aggresive in the market since the last 4 to 5 years and i see a huge potential of the FF market in INDIA and though iconsistentlypush PROFIBUS with SIEMENS all the big End users ( oilhonchos) are interested in FF. I think its time that we support both the open protocols and startworking collaborativelyrather than saying that we are a member of this group and not that. Anyways nice to talk to you. Infact i just completed a MEGA PROJECT in india with the world's biggest installation of FF Technology in Reliance for a refinery project before joining Siemens Good Day. Regards, |

Hi Pratapks, My comments were made in a lighter vein mainly to convey lack of responses to your post and not meant to suggest Siemens is not involved / should not be involved with FF... FFhas been plagued by long delays as you can see from the following quote from Wikipedia: ". . . FOUNDATION fieldbus was originally intended as a replacement for the 4-20 mA standard, but many delays in its development have prevented its large scale use, and has allowed other technologies such as Modbus, Profibus, and Industrial Ethernet to gain large installed bases. . ." But as you mentioned (off late) the demand has been growing and all players (including Siemens) realize the importance of this... Regards |
