Major Activities

Activity 2

"released updated foundation for sif technical specifications and sif interoperability test kit (itk). Foundation for sif technical specifications which defines analog input (ai) blocks for fieldbus transmitters and other sif devices. In addition, the ff-sif function block specification now addresses discrete output (do) blocks, which is a major enhancement required for deployment of a complete fieldbus-based safety system. The updated specification package also includes the sif device itk profile, offering an easy way to map sif field device requirements to existing sif itk versions. The updated sif itk version 1.1 includes a new, intuitive user interface, as well as additional test cases for testing sif do blocks and a variety of updates to existing test cases. The test kit is an excellent tool for troubleshooting and debugging devices, and provides all hardware and software required to ensure a manufacturer's complete device interoperability as specified by the fieldbus foundation's official registration testing procedure. By using the test kit, device developers can run tests identical to those used by the foundation before submitting their device for registration. The foundation for sif itk includes a host of test cases verifying the functionality of a fieldbus device and its conformance with the foundation fieldbus function block and transducer block specifications. It also incorporates a dd ""super viewer"" allowing examination and verification of a device's dd, and a conformance test procedure for the physical layer. The dd super viewer supports validation of existing dds and the new dd 5.1 format. Device developers can walk their dd, execute methods, and render visualization elements supported by the new dd 5.1 technology. "
