1. DESCRIPTIONThe BA648CF-F fieldbus indicator is a generalpurpose FOUNDATION™ fieldbus instrument thatmay be configured as a fieldbus node or as afieldbus listener. It can display up to eight fieldbusprocess variables on a five digit LCD and 31segment analogue bargraph. The instrument isbus powered so no additional power supply isrequired.

As a fieldbus node the indicator is configured viathe fieldbus host.

Communication Fieldbus Fun ction Protocol Blocks

FOUNDATION™ fieldbus Input Selector (2 x IS) Digital input (6 x DI)

Device Description files may be downloaded fromthe Fieldbus Foundation or from the BEKAassociates websites.

When configured as a fieldbus listener theBA648CF-F is not visible to the fieldbus host andcan only be configured using the push buttons onthe front of the instrument.

Housed in a robust 72 x 144 panel mounting DINenclosure, the BA648CF-F has an IP66 front paneland is supplied with a gasket to seal the jointbetween the instrument and the panel.

The instrument’s communication protocol is shownon the rear of the instrument. The ‘-F’ order codesuffix also indicates the protocol but is not shownon the instrument idendification label. There is analternative version of the fieldbus display, ordercode BA648CF-P for use on PROFIBUS PAnetworks.

2. OPERATIONThe BA648CF-F fieldbus indicator can display upto eight pre-configured FOUNDATION™ fieldbusprocess variables designated in-1 to in-8. Theoperator can select which variable is displayedusing the ▼and ▲ push buttons which scroll thedisplay through the eight inputs. A numericannunciator on the left hand side of the displayshows which of the eight inputs is currently beingdisplayed.

2.1 Error messagesWhen the BA648CF-F is configured as a listenerthe following error messages may be displayed:

‘no ConF’ No inputs have beenconfigured or are enabled.

‘no dAtA’ No data is being receivedwith the current configuration.

3. SYSTEM DESIGNThe BA648CF-F FOUNDATION™ fieldbus indi-cator is powered via the fieldbus which isconnected to non-polarised terminals 1 and 2 asshown in Fig 1. The indicator may be connected toany FOUNDATION™ fieldbus segment that cansupply an additional 13mA at between 9 and 32V.

5. CONFIGURATIONThe BA648CF-F 8 variable FOUNDATION™fieldbus indicator may be configured as a fieldbusnode or as a fieldbus listener. When used as afieldbus node the indicator is configured via thefieldbus host. For detailed node conditioninginformation please refer to the BEKAFOUNDATION™ fieldbus Interface Guide whichmay be downloaded from www.beka.co.uk

As a fieldbus listener the BA648CF-F is not visibleto the fieldbus host and can only be configured viathe front panel push buttons using the menushown in Fig 6.

Throughout this manual the four BA648CF-F pushbuttons are identified P E ▼ ▲ and legendsdisplayed by the fieldbus indicator are shownwithin inverted commas e.g. ‘CodE’ and ‘LiSt’.

5.1 Configuration menusThe configuration menu is separated into twosections, fieldbus node and fieldbus listener. Bothcontain the ‘tYPE’ function that enables transferbetween the two. Unless otherwise requestedwhen ordered, all FOUNDATION™ fieldbusBA648CF-F indicators are supplied as fieldbusnodes but can easily be reconfigured on-site.

5.2 Node configuration menuThe node configuration menu is shown in Fig 4.Access to the menu is obtained by operating the Pand E buttons simultaneously. If the BA648CF-Fis not protected by an access code the firstparameter 'rESEt’ will be displayed*. If theinstrument is protected by an access code, ‘CodE’will be displayed first. Pressing P will allow thefour digit security code to be entered digit by digitusing the ▼ or ▲ button to adjust the flashing digitand P to move control to the next digit. When thecorrect code has been entered, pressing E willcause the first parameter ‘rESEt’ to be displayed*.If an incorrect code is entered, or no button ispressed for ten seconds, the BA648CF-F willautomatically return to the display mode.

* If the indicator displays ‘SCAn’ it is conditionedas a fieldbus listener, see section 5.3.13 to changeit to a fieldbus node.

5.2.1 Reset the indicator to node factory defaults ‘rESEt’The BA648CF-F may be reset to the factorydefaults that are shown below:

5.3 Listener configuration menuThe listener configuration menu is separated intothree sections, ‘SCAn’, ‘LISt’ and ‘Edit’, plus threehousekeeping functions ‘CodE’, ‘tYPE’ and ‘rESEt’as shown in Fig 6.

‘SCAn’ is the simplest method of configuration ifthe fieldbus Device Address and Variable Identityof the data to be displayed by the BA648CF-Flistener are not known.

In the ‘SCAn’ function pressing the P buttoncauses the BA648CF-F indicator to search thefieldbus segment to which it is connected for allpublishers. Fig 5 shows how the indicator displaysthe hexadecimal Device Address and VariableIdentity associated with each publisher.

A Publisher is a device that places it's outputdata onto the bus as part of a cyclical pre-determined data exchange schedule.

The Device Address is a unique address thatidentifies each fieldbus instrument connected tothe bus.

The Variable Identity is the fieldbus deviceData Link Connection End Point (DLCEP)which identifies each Function Block output(process variable) transmitted by a fieldbusdevice such as flow and temperaturetransmitted by a fieldbus flowmeter.

The ▼ and ▲ push buttons scroll the displaythrough all the publishers on the segment showingthe Device Address and Variable Identity for eachone - see Fig 5. To aid identification, operatingthe P button will preview the value of the data ateach selected address, if required it may then beallocated to one of the eight BA648CF-F listenerinputs in-1, to in-8 by operating the P button again.If the format of the data at the selected DeviceAddress and Variable Identity is not DS-65 (float +status) ‘no dAt’ will be displayed.

Fig 5 Device Address and Variable Identity

If the Device Address and Variable Identity of theprocess variable to be displayed by the BA648CF-F indicator are known, they may be directlyentered via the edit sub-menu. This sub-menualso provides full control of both the numeric andbargraph display parameters.

5.3.1 AccessAccess to the listener configuration menu isobtained by operating the P and E buttonssimultaneously. If the BA648CF-F is not protectedby an access code the first parameter 'SCAn’ willbe displayed.* If the indicator is protected by anaccess code, ‘CodE’ will be displayed first.Pressing P will allow the four digit security code tobe entered digit by digit using the ▼ or ▲ button toadjust the flashing digit and P to move control tothe next digit. When the correct code has beenentered, pressing E will cause the first parameter‘SCAn’ to be displayed.* If an incorrect code isentered, or no button is pressed for ten seconds,the indicator will automatically return to the displaymode.

* If the indicator displays ‘rESEt’ it is conditionedas a fieldbus node, see section 5.2.2 to change itto a fieldbus listener.

5.3.2 Summary of listener configuration functions.This section contains a summary of all the listenerconfiguration functions including a reference tomore detailed information. It should be read inconjunction with Fig 6.

5.3.3 Scan fieldbus segment ‘SCAn’If the Device Address and Variable Identity of aprocess variable are not known, the ‘SCAn’function provides a simple way to identify them.This function scans the fieldbus segment to whichthe BA648CF-F indicator is connected andidentifies all the publishers. To aid identification itenables the value of each process variable to bepre-viewed and, if required, allocated to one of theeight BA648CF-F Fieldbus indicator inputs.

The BA648CF-F indicator only supports DS-65formatted data (float + status) which is the usualformat for analogue process variables. The‘SCAn’ function will identify all publishers on thesegment irrespective of format, but when pre-viewed, non DS-65 formatted data will produce a‘no dAt’ error message.

‘SCAn’ is the first function displayed when enteringthe listener configuration menu, or it may beselected from within the menu by operating the ▼or ▲ button. To scan the fieldbus segment towhich the indicator is connected for all publisheddata press P which will reveal the hexadecimalDevice Address and Variable Identity of the firstpublisher found as shown in Fig 5. If there ismore than one publisher operating the ▼ or ▲

button will scroll though all of them.

If no cyclic data is being published on the fieldbussegment the BA648CF-F indicator will display‘noPub’.

When the Device Address and Variable Identity ofa process variable is being displayed, pressing Pwill preview the value of the process variabledisplayed with maximum resolution on the five digitdisplay. If this confirms that it is one of theprocess variables to be displayed, it may beallocated to one of the eight BA648CF-F listenerinputs in-1 to in-8.

To select the required listener input press P todisplay the first input in-1, operating the ▼ or ▲

button will scroll the display through the otherinputs. When the required input is displayedpressing E will allocate the selected processvariable to the selected input and return the displayto the Device Address and Variable Identity fromwhich another process variable may be selected.

When a process variable is allocated to a indicatorinput any previous allocation will be overwritten.

5.3.4 List configured input parameters ‘LiSt’The ‘LiSt’ function enables the Device Address andVariable Identity allocated to each lindicator inputto be viewed without danger of it being accidentallychanged.

The ‘LiSt’ function may be selected from within themenu by operating ▼ or ▲ button. To enter thefunction press P which will display the indicatorinput currently selected in the display mode, otherinputs may be selected using the ▼ or ▲ button.Operating the P button will cause the followingparameters for the selected input to be displayedsequentially:

Display Explanation‘Enb: Y or N’ Input Enabled yes or no‘Adr: 00’ Device Address ‘id: 00’ Variable Identity

The display then automatically returns to theselected BA648CF-F indicator input from whereanother input may be selected.

If one of the eight BA648CF-F indicator’s inputs in-1 to in-8 has not had a Device Address andVariable Identity allocated to it, ‘LiSt’ will show bothas invalid address FF.

5.3.5 Enter address & display parameters ‘Edit’The ‘Edit’ function may be selected from within themenu by operating ▼ or ▲ button. To enter thefunction press P which will display the indicatorinput currently selected in the display mode, otherlistener inputs may be selected using the ▼ or ▲button. When the required input has beenselected operating the P button will enter the editsub-menu at ‘Enb’ for the selected input.

5.3.6 Enable selected input ‘Enb’‘Enb’ turns the indicator input selected in the Editfunction on or off without affecting the conditioning.To enter the function press P which will revealwhether the selected input is ‘on’ or ‘oFF’.Operating the ▼ or ▲ buttons will toggle betweenthe two conditions. When set as requiredoperating the E button will enter the selection andreturn to the edit sub-menu.

5.3.7 Enter Device Address ‘Adr’This function allows a known fieldbus DeviceAddress to be entered and allocated to theindicator input selected in the Edit function. Toenter the function press P which will reveal theexisting two digit hexadecimal address with onedigit flashing which may be changed by operatingthe ▼ or ▲ button. When set as requiredoperating the P button will transfer control to thesecond digit that may be adjusted in the sameway. When both digits are set as requiredoperating the E button will enter the selection andreturn to the ‘Adr’ prompt in the edit sub-menu.

5.3.8 Enter Variable Identity ‘id’Enables a known Variable Identity to be enteredand allocated to the indicator input selected in theEdit function. To enter the function press P whichwill reveal the existing two digit hexadecimaladdress with one digit flashing which may bechanged by operating the ▼ or ▲ button. Whenset as required operating the P button will transfercontrol to the second digit that may be adjusted inthe same way. When both digits are set asrequired operating the E button will enter theselection and return to the ‘id’ prompt in the editsub-menu.

5.3.9 Decimal point position ‘dP’Defines the position the decimal point in thenumeric display. To enter the function press Pwhich will reveal the existing decimal pointposition. Operating the ▼ or ▲ button will movethe decimal point to the required position, omit it,or activate all the decimal points whichautomatically provides maximum resolution in thedisplay mode irrespective of the numeric value.When positioned as required, operating the Ebutton will enter the selection and return to the ‘dP’prompt in the edit sub-menu.

5.3.10 Configuration of bargraph display‘bAr’This function contains three sub-functions thatenable the bargraph, justify its position and definethe relationship between the bargraph and theinstrument’s numeric display.

Sub-function ‘b.tYPE’ allows the bargraph to beleft, centre or right justified, or to be turned off.Sub-functions ‘bArLo’ and ‘bArhi’ define thelistener’s numeric display at which the bargraphstarts and is at full scale.

The ‘bAr’ function may be selected from within theedit sub-menu by operating the ▼ or ▲ button.To enter the function press P which will display the‘b.tYPE’ sub-function, pressing P again will revealthe existing bargraph justification.

The ▼ or ▲ button will scroll through the fouroptions, when the required justification isdisplayed, pressing E will enter the selection andreturn the display to the ‘b.tYPE’ prompt in the editsub-menu from which ‘bArLo’ may be selectedusing the ▼ or ▲ button.

‘bArLo’ defines the indicator’s numeric display atwhich the bargraph starts, to enter the functionpress P which will reveal the existing setting. Thedisplay may be changed using the ▼ or ▲ buttonto adjust the flashing digit and the P button tomove control to the next digit. When the requiredstarting display has been selected, press E toreturn to the ‘bArLo’ prompt in the edit sub-menufrom which the ‘bArHi’ function may be selected.

‘bArHi’ defines the indicator’s numeric display atwhich the bargraph is full scale, to enter thefunction press P which will reveal the existingsetting. The display may be changed using the ▼or ▲ button to adjust the flashing digit and the Pbutton to move control to the next digit. When therequired display has been selected, press E twiceto enter the new values and return to the ‘bAr’prompt in the edit sub-menu.

Note: If the ‘dP’ function has been set to provideautomatic maximum resolution irrespective of thedisplayed value, it may be necessary to manuallyposition the decimal point before adjusting ‘bArLo’or ‘bArHi’. This can be achieved by repeatedlyoperating the P button until the activated decimalpoint flashes, the decimal point can then bepositioned using either the ▼ or ▲ button.Pressing the P button again will return control toone of the digits.

5.3.11 Scale numeric display ‘SCALE’A scaling factor ‘Gain’ and an offset ‘oFFSt’ maybe applied to the fieldbus process variable usingthis function, thus allowing the indicator to displaythe fieldbus process variable in alternative units.

The ‘SCALE’ function may be selected from withinthe edit sub-menu by operating the ▼ or ▲ button.To enter the function press P which will display the‘GAin’ sub-function, pressing P again will revealthe existing gain with one digit flashing. Thisflashing digit may be changed by operating the ▼or ▲ button; when adjusted the P button will movecontrol to the next digit or to the decimal pointwhich can be positioned using the ▼ or ▲ button.When ‘GAin’ has been set to the required valueoperating the E button will enter the selection andreturn to the ‘GAin’ prompt in the sub-menu fromwhere the ‘oFFSt’ function can be selected usingthe ▼ or ▲ button.

To enter the ‘oFFSt’ function press P which willreveal the existing offset with one digit flashing.Again the flashing digit may be changed byoperating the ▼ or ▲ button and the P button willmove control to the next digit or to the decimalpoint. When ‘oFFSt’ has been set to the requiredvalue operating the E button will enter the selectionand return to the ‘oFFSt’ prompt in the sub-menu.Three operations of the E button will return to the‘Edit’ function in the listener configuration menu.

5.3.12 Access code for listener configuration menu. ‘CodE’Access to the listener menu may be protected by afour digit security code which must be entered togain access. New instruments are suppliedconfigured with the default code 0000 whichdisables this protection and allows unrestrictedaccess to the configuration menu.

To enter a new access code select ‘CodE’ in thelistener configuration menu by operating the ▼ or▲ button. To enter the function press P which willreveal the current access code with one digitflashing. The code may be changed using the ▼ or▲ button to adjust the flashing digit and the Pbutton to move control to the next digit. When therequired code has been selected, press E to enterthe selection and return to the ‘CodE’ prompt in thelistener configuration menu. The revised accesscode will be activated when the indicator isreturned to the display mode.

If the access code is lost please contact BEKAassociates.

5.3.13 Change from listener to node ‘tYPE’This function enables the instrument to bechanged from a fieldbus listener to a fieldbus nodeby selecting ‘tYPE’ in the listener configurationmenu using the ▼ or ▲ button. To enter thefunction press P which will show that theinstrument is configured as a fieldbus listener, tochange to a fieldbus node press the ▼ or ▲ buttonwhich will toggle the display to ‘nodE’ To preventaccidental changes this request must beconfirmed by operating the P button and entering‘5urE’. The instrument will display ‘0000’ with thefirst digit flashing, using the ▼ or ▲ button set theflashing digit to ‘5’ and press the P button to movecontrol to the next digit which should be set to ‘u’.When the four letters of ‘5urE’ have been entered,operating the E button will cause the instrument torestart as a fieldbus node in the display mode.
