Introduction
Fieldbus is in use since 19981, yet still new for many customers today.
This presentation will look at the installation issues and the “lessons learned”, so that you can benefits from their experience.
1 Shell Malampaya is one of the early, larger projects. 1600 FF instruments are in use. The project produced first gas in Oct 2001. Source: J.

Introduction� The pictures you will see are collected from “real”
projects; they are neither simulated nor “demo”.
� We will look at – Control room: cabinet design and wiring– Field: Wiring, field junction boxes, field device installation.
� Processes typically involve explosion protection methods “intrinsic safety” (I.S. / Ex i; energy limitation by a ‘barrier’) or “explosion proof” (Ex d; protection by explosionproof enclosure).Many examples use “IS” as this is a key product of my company and that is where I get involved.

Control room – Conventional wiring� Long wires, standard length� Allows pre-fabrication of wire
(ferrules, mounting)� Conventional signals (4-20mA,
RTD, thermocouple, 0-5V/10V/24V) – slow, hardware filtered, length less important

Control room – DCS wiring
Important:do not use individual wires to wire cabinet. Use fieldbus cable and shield properly.
Why?
Higher signal frequency – protect them against disturbances.Individual wires will cause crosstalk from one wire to another –communication faults can occur.

Fieldbus CableRecommended:Type A cable: Shielded twisted pair
Other cable is possible, but there are limitations in terms of achievable cable distance and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
Fieldbus is a digital “high speed” (31kBit/s) communication, a current modulated signal superimposed on the DC power.

2626 Successful Implementation & Improved Operation
Good Wiring Practices� Test segment wiring before connecting components� Avoid damaging the wire when removing insulation� Ground the cable shield only at one point (at the control
room end)� Insulate the ungrounded end of the cable shield (at the
instrument)� Ground armor on both sides (potential equalization)� Use crimp ferrules
– Ferrule diameter must fit wire– Crimp tool must fit ferrule– Ferrule must fit terminals
� Maintain polarity and associated color codes throughout the segment

Installation Guidelines� Cable Tests
– Experience has shown that new cable irregularities are so infrequent that it is more efficient to check cable after installation
� Cable Installation– Verify that cable is properly installed, bypassing impact
from wiring components� Segment Checkout
– Check of proper wiring of wiring components� Device installation
– Check of proper device installation� Loop checkout
– Functional test

Conclusion
� Fieldbus is robust if the installation is adjusted to the requirements of a digital communication line
� Do not simply copy 4-20 methods� Use fieldbus smartly (e.g. eliminate marshalling)� Good wiring practices are more important than
on 4-20 due to bus structure� Train your installers on fieldbus practices
