1.1 Safety message
WARNING!
Do not connect the USB Fieldbus Interface to a live segment (with an active DCS Host and power
supply attached) if the power indicator light on the interface is amber in color. Doing so can disrupt
communications and may compromise automation safety.

2 USB Fieldbus Interface
Topics covered in this chapter:
•Overview
•Parts and function
•Power modes
2.1 Overview
The USB Fieldbus Interface enables two-way communication between a
computer and fieldbus devices. Its primary function is to allow the setup,
configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices through a
computer.
The interface is fully compatible with all FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) devices
and is always configured as a "visitor."
Features
Compliant with USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications
Works with standard USB cables
Can detect a Link Active Scheduler (LAS) and will take over as a LAS if it is not present on the
segment
Can be connected to any fieldbus segment containing a FOUNDATION fieldbus device
Has software support for both Device Descriptors (DDs) and FDT Device Type Managers
(DTMs)
It is particularly useful in these plant scenarios:
•Workbench setup and troubleshooting of fieldbus devices
•With a laptop in the field to configure, commission, decommission, or
troubleshoot fieldbus devices

Scenarios
Normal scenarios
Green Green The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to an externally
powered segment and is able to communicate.
Amber Green The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power to a fieldbus
segment and is able to communicate.
Other scenarios
Off Off
The USB Fieldbus Interface is not connected to a powered
computer.
-OR-
The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to a computer but
the computer power is off.
-OR-
The USB FF HSE Server is not running on the connected
computer.
Green Off
The USB Fieldbus Interface is not connected to a powered
segment.
-OR-
The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected to a powered
segment with the wrong polarity.
Off Green The USB Fieldbus Interface is connected normally to a
powered segment but the USB FF HSE Server is not running.
Amber Red The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power but a short
circuit has been detected on the field connection.
Amber Off
The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power and
connected to an already powered fieldbus segment with
reverse polarity.
Amber Amber
The USB Fieldbus Interface is providing power to a fieldbus
segment and the load on that segment has exceeded its
limit.

2.3 Power modes
The USB Fieldbus Interface is capable of working in two power modes:
•Mode 1 - The interface does not supply power to the connected fieldbus
device or segment. The fieldbus device or segment is powered by an
external source.
Mode 1 is the default.
•Mode 2 - The interface powers the connected fieldbus device or segment
and no external power is needed.
The interface is capable of powering multiple devices on a fieldbus
segment through an external USB hub. It can provide current of up to 85
mA (typically sufficient for three or four fieldbus devices on the same
segment).
You can configure Mode 2 using the Fieldbus Interface Configuration
utility. For more information, see Section 4.2.
WARNING!
Choose only one power mode. Never attempt to use two power sources at the same time. Doing so
can disrupt communications and may compromise automation safety.

3 Software installation and device setup
Topics covered in this chapter:
•System requirements
•Install the Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility
•Install the Communication DTM software
•Install the Emerson DTM Library
•Setup and connection
•Connect to a live fieldbus segment
Perform software installation and device setup in the following order:
1. Install the Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility.
This allows you to configure the USB Fieldbus Interface and connected
fieldbus devices.
2. Install the Communication DTM software.
This enables DTM support for connected fieldbus devices.
3. Install the Emerson DTM Library.
This allows you to use DTMs associated with Emerson devices through an
FDT Frame Application.
Note
Device DTMs are usually acquired from device suppliers. Contact your device supplier if you
have a non-Emerson device and install the appropriate third-party DTM library.
4. Set up and configure connected fieldbus devices.
3.1 System requirements
