Using fieldbus technology in the control strategy

DeltaV fieldbus function blocks in the control strategy

The following sections provide some guidelines for using fieldbus function blocks in DeltaV control applications. Remember that all fieldbus function blocks in a control module must execute on the same fieldbus segment. The H1 card can run a total of 96 function blocks: 32 (maximum) H1 card fieldbus blocks and 64 (maximum) DeltaV non-H1 card fieldbus blocks. The 96 function blocks can execute on either port. A maximum of 16 devices can run on a segment.
