Configure a Micro Field Processor
There are two basic steps to configuring a Micro Field Processor (MFP):
1. Configuring the MFP's Reference Parameters, as described here. Reference
Parameter is the term used here to describe data (usually of more than one data
type) that is transferred between an intelligent module and the Bus Interface Unit
during each BIU sweep.
All data exchanged by intelligent modules in a Field
Control station is called Reference Parameters.
2. Configuring any Group Data Moves that will be used to transfer Micro Field
Processor data
during specified BIU sweeps
. All Group Data Moves are
considered part of the Bus Interface Unit's own configuration.
It is possible to configure a Micro Field Processor (or any other type of intelligent
module) to have only Reference Parameters and no Group Data, or only Group Data
and no Reference Parameters. But both types of data transfers can be used in a
system. The typical configuration is to use only Reference Parameters.
Configure the Reference Parameters for the Micro Field
Processor
To configure Reference Parameters for a Micro Field Processor, go to this menu:
F1 Monitor
F2 Configuration
Select F2 (configuration). If the module has not previously been added to the BIU
configuration, the module configuration screen looks like this:
