FVX110 Fieldbus Segment Indicator

The FVX110 is a field indicator that allows you to switch and display up to 16 indicated values for FOUNDATION fieldbus devices. Turn the scroll knob on the case to switch displays. No complex operation is needed in the field and you can observe the indicated values easily.

An LCD display with LED backlight and a variety of displays has increased user-friendliness and visibility.

The FVX110 offers as standard not only the functions of a field indicator, but also PID function block, Link master, and software download functions.

Field instruments that comply with the FOUNDATION fieldbus specifications are fully interoperable; no longer is there a need for custom designed software to communicate with other devices.

Up to 16 process variables from multiple field instruments can be displayed, significantly reducing instrumentation costs. Furthermore, support of the FOUNDATION fieldbus digital communications protocol enables the display of signal data from third-party fieldbus compliant field devices.

The back-lit full dot-matrix LCD clearly displays text and graphics such as bar graphs, a scroll bar, and icons that indicate the page turning direction and scroll knob turning direction.

The FVX110 supports a link master function that enables backup of network management and allows local control using field devices.

To facilitate device diagnostics, two functions blocks each are provided for the multiple analog output (MAO), arithmetic (AR), and input selector (IS), and a single function block is provided for the following: signal characterizer (SC), integrator (IT), and PID.

With this function, it is possible to download updates or upgrades to the FVX110 software. Typical uses of this function are the addition of function blocks and diagnostics for existing devices.

A reliable self-diagnostic function based on the NAMUR NE107 standard detects failures in the ambient temperature limit, communications, and hardware such as the LCD and amplifier assembly.
