scope:

Communication Profile Family 1 (commonly known as FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus¹⁾ defines communication profiles based on IEC 61158-2, Type 1, IEC 61158-3-1, IEC 61158-4-1, IEC 61158-5-5, IEC 61158-5-9, IEC 61158-6-5, and IEC 61158-6-9. The basic profiles CP 1/1 (FF H1) and CP 1/2 (FF HSE) are defined in IEC 61784-1.

This part of IEC 62453 provides information for integrating the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus (FF) protocol into the FDT standard (IEC 62453-2).

The standard describes communication definitions, protocol specific extensions and the means for block (e.g. transducer, resource or function blocks) representation.

The new protocol specific definitions are based on FF-specifications for H1 and HSE protocols. Furthermore, the definitions contain information that is needed by systems to configure FF devices.

The scope is limited to FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus device and system specific definitions.
