Configuration Examples
This appendix includes examples of different Field Control I/O Station configurations:
•
An I/O Station with discrete data only, where all of the data is configured within the BIU's I/O
map. The BIU sends all inputs from Field Control modules on the network. All outputs are
generated by the system controller (for example, a PLC) that sends them to the BIU over the
network.
•
An I/O Station with both analog and discrete data, where all of the data is configured within
the BIU's I/O map. As in the first example, the BIU sends all inputs from Field Control
modules on the network. All outputs are generated by the system controller which sends them
to the BIU over the network.
•
An I/O station with both discrete and analog data, which also includes a Micro Field Processor.
The Micro Field Processor performs some I/O processing locally.
•
An I/O Station with both discrete and analog data, which also includes a Micro Field
Processor. Group Data Moves are used to transfer data within the I/O Station. This
configuration allows all station inputs to be solved by the Micro Field Processor, and all
station outputs to be controlled by the Micro Field Processor. The system controller (for
example, a PLC) will receive all station inputs. If the Micro Field Processor stops providing
outputs, the system controller will assume control of all station outputs.
Example 1: Discrete Data, Network Processing
In this I/O Station, there are only discrete I/O modules. All data is included within the I/O map that
is configured for the Bus Interface Module, and exchanged over the network. There is no local
Micro Field Processor.
