What is this standard about?
This part of the IEC 62453-51, which is a Technical Report, provides additional information for integrating the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus1 (FF) protocol into the COM-based implementation of the FDT Specification (IEC TR 62453-41).
This document describes communication definitions, protocol specific extensions and the means for block (e.g. transducer, resource or function blocks) representation.
The 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.
This part of IEC 62453 specifies implementation of communication and other services based on IEC 62453-301.
This document neither contains the FDT specification nor modifies it.
