ELECTRONIC TRANSMITTER with FIELDBUS
DATA SHEET
Fieldbus is a standard digital communication protocol between field instruments and upper control system. This fieldbus standard
enables interactive communication among the number of I&C manufactures simultaneously and also the usage by exchanging
fieldbus instruments.
FCX-AII Series Electronic Transmitters with FOUNDATION FIELDBUS and PROFIBUS is a fieldbus transmitters utilizing a unique
micromachined capacitance silicon sensor with state-of -the-art microporcessor technology and converting the signal of silicon
sensor to fieldbus protocol.
This fieldbus transmitter can provide many merits of fieldbus as shown in the following “FEATURES”.
FEATURES
1. Fuji Original IC “Frontier-1+ Fieldbus IC”
“Frontier-1+” the original Fieldbus interface controller IC,
developed by Fuji Electric based on IEC Fieldbus Physical
Layer Specification, is installed in FCX-AII (Fieldbus ver-
sion.).
2. Interoperability
FCX-AII transmitter comply with the latest Foundation
Fieldbus specification and PROFIBUS-PA specification and
provide full interactive interoperability to other transmit-
ters.
In addition, FOUNDATION FIELDBUS FCX-AII transmitters
are certified and registered by ITK4.0, the latest standard
for Interoperability Testing.
3. Reduction of wiring cost
The reduction of wiring cost of instrumentation is realizing
due to multi-drop wiring of fieldbus instruments comparing
to the current instruments.
4. High accuracy, high stability and high reliability
High resolution data transmission with digital communica-
tion lead high accuracy, high stability and high reliability.
5. Abundant alarm functions and self-diagnosis
Abundant alarm and maintenance function defined in
Fieldbus specification in addition to process data can be
well supported.
The self-diagnosis including failure of pressure sensor, ab-
normal of temperature etc. are also provided.
