General Installation and Setup Procedure
This manual details the use of ValVueFF software with a Masoneilan FVP valve
positioner. ValVueFF can be used offline but is normally connected to a FVP positioner.
Ensure the following guidelines are adhered to prior to using ValVueFF with a
positioner:
1. Install the positioner on a valve and connect it to an air supply. See the FVP
Instruction Manual.
2. Setup and start NIFB Communications Manager software.
3. Install a National Instrument AT-FBUS or PCMCIA-FBUS interface card (NI FBUS
Interface) and configure it in the Windows registry. Carefully follow the installation
instructions provided with the interface card.
4. Use the NI FBUS Interface Configuration Utility to configure the interface card as a
Visitor. The only exception is when using ValVueFF in a PC for initial setup of a
positioner without a host device; configure the NI FBUS Interface as a Link Master
Device at fixed address 0x10.
5. Assign the positioner a fieldbus node address and a device tag. Do this while the
device is connected as a single device on a test segment, not while connected to an
operating control segment as this requires a different interface card configuration.
See Configure the NIFB Interface Card Safely for Different Tasks.
6. Configure the entire fieldbus segment with all required function blocks soft-wired
and scheduled.
Wiring practices for Foundation Fieldbus differ significantly from 4 to 20 ma instrument
wiring. Refer to the Foundation Fieldbus Application Guide 31.25 kbits/s Wiring and
Installation, AG-140, Revision 1.0 or later. However, some information regarding wiring
of the devices is included.
NOTE Visitor devices cannot start until they are connected to a
running segment with an active LAS that can assign a node
address to the visitor.
