Introduction
Introduction
The FI302 is of the first generation of Fieldbus devices. It is a converter mainly intended for interface
of a Fieldbus system to control valve or other actuators. The FI302 produces a 4-20 mA output
proportional to input received over the Fieldbus network. The digital technology used in the FI302
enables an easy interface between the field and the control room and several interesting features
that reduce considerably the installation, operation and maintenance costs.
The FI302 is part of Smar's complete 302 line of Fieldbus devices.
Fieldbus is not only a replacement for 4-20 mA or intelligent / smart transmitter protocols, it contains
much more. Fieldbus is a complete system enabling distribution of the control function to equipment
in the field.
Some of the advantages of bi-directional digital communications are known from existing smart
transmitter protocols: Higher accuracy, multi-variable access, remote configuration and diagnostics,
and multi-dropping of several devices on a single pair of wires.
Those protocols were not intended to transfer control data, but maintenance information. Therefore
they were slow and not efficient enough to be used.
The main requirements for Fieldbus were to overcome these problems. Closed loop control with
performance like a 4-20 mA system requires higher speed. Since higher speed means higher power
consumption, this clashes with the need for intrinsic safety.
Therefore a moderately high communication speed was selected, and the system was designed to
have a minimum of communication overhead. Using scheduling the system controls variable
sampling, algorithm execution and communication so as to optimize the usage of the network, not
loosing time. Thus, high closed loop performance is achieved.
Using Fieldbus technology, with its capability to interconnect several devices, very large control
schemes can be constructed. In order too be user friendly the function block concept was introduced
(users of SMAR CD600 should be familiar with this, since it was implemented several years ago).
The user may now easily build and overview complex control strategies. Another advantage is
added flexibility; the control strategy may be edited without having to rewire or change any
hardware.
The FI302, like the rest of the 302 family, has several Function Blocks built in, like PID controller,
Input Selector and Splitter/Output Selector, eliminating the need for separate control device. This
feature reduces communication and by that less dead-time and tighter control, not to mention the
reduction in cost.
Other function blocks are also available. They allow flexibility in control strategy implementation.
The need for implementation of Fieldbus in small as well as large systems was considered when
developing the entire 302 line of Fieldbus devices. They have the common features of being able to
act as a master on the network and be configured locally using a magnetic tool, eliminating the need
for a configurator or console in many basic applications.
Get the best result of the FI302 by carefully reading these instructions.

Section 1
Installation
General
The overall accuracy of measurement and control depends on several variables. Although the
converter has an outstanding performance, proper installation is essential, in order to maximize its
performance.
Among all factors, which may affect converter accuracy, environmental conditions are the most
difficult to control. There are, however, ways of reducing the effects of temperature, humidity and
vibration.
Locating the converter in areas protected from extreme environmental changes can minimize
temperature fluctuation effects.
In warm environments, the converter should be installed to avoid, as much as possible, direct expo-
sure to the sun. Installation close to lines and vessels subjected to high temperatures should also be
avoided.
Use of sunshades or heat shields to protect the converter from external heat sources should be
considered, if necessary.
Humidity is fatal to electronic circuits. In areas subjected to high relative humidity, the O-rings for the
electronics cover must be correctly placed. Removal of the electronics cover in the field should be
reduced to the minimum necessary, since each time it is removed the circuits are exposed to the
humidity. The electronic circuit is protected by a humidity proof coating, but frequent exposures to
humidity may affect the protection provided. It is also important to keep the covers tightened in
place. Every time they are removed, the threads are exposed to corrosion, since painting cannot
protect these parts. Code-approved sealing methods on conduit entering the converter should be
employed.
Mounting
Using the bracket, the mounting may be done in several positions, as shown on Figure 1.3 -
Dimensional Drawing and Mounting Positions.
For better visibility, the digital indicator may be rotated in steps of 90° (See the section Maintenance
Procedures).
Output Wiring
The output is in fact a current link. An external power source is therefore necessary. The FI302
controls the current in the loop. (See Figure 1.4 - Output Connections). The three channels have a
common ground for the external power supply.
The output load is limited by the voltage of the external power supply. Please refer to the load graph
to determine the maximum load.
On loss of power the output will be uncertain. If power is maintained, but communication is lost, the
output may be pre-configured to freeze or go to a safe value.
Electric Wiring
Access the wiring block by removing the Electrical Connection Cover. This cover can be locked
closed by the cover locking screw (See Figure 1.1 - Cover Locking). To release the cover, rotate the
locking screw clockwise.
1.1
Figure 1.1 - Cover Locking
Cable access to wiring connections is obtained by one of the two conduit outlets. Conduit threads
should be sealed by means of code-approved sealing methods. The unused outlet connection
should be plugged accordingly.
The wiring block has screws on which terminals type fork or ring can be fastened, see Figure 1.2 -
Ground Terminals.
Figure 1.2 - Ground Terminals
For convenience there are three ground terminals: one inside the cover and two externals, located
close to the conduit entries.
The FI302 uses the 31.25 kbit/s voltage mode option for the physical signaling. All other devices on
the same bus must use the same signaling. All devices are connected in parallel along the same
pair of wires.
Various types of Fieldbus devices may be connected on the same bus.
The FI302 is powered via the bus. The limit for such devices is 12 for one bus for non-intrinsically
safe requirement. In hazardous area, the number of devices may be limited by intrinsically safe
restrictions.
1.2
Installation
Figure 1.3 - Dimensional Drawing and Mounting Positions
WARNING
HAZARDOUS AREAS
In hazardous areas with explosion proof requirements, the covers must be tightened with at least 8
turns. In order to avoid the penetration moisture or corrosive gases, tighten the O’ring until feeling
the O'ring touching the housing. Then, tighten more 1/3 turn (120°) to guarantee the sealing. Lock
the covers using the locking screw.
In hazardous zones with intrinsically safe or non-incendive requirements, the circuit entity
parameters and applicable installation procedures must be observed.
Cable access to wiring connections is obtained by the two conduit outlets. Conduit threads should
be sealed by means of code-approved sealing methods.
Explosion proof, non-incendive and intrinsic safety Factory Mutual certification are standards for
FI302 (See Control Drawing in Appendix A).
Should other certifications be necessary, refer to the certification or specific standard for installation
limitations.
Figure 1.4 - Output Connections
1.3
Avoid routing signal wiring close to power cables or switching equipment.

The FI302 is protected against reverse polarity, and can withstand ±35 V DC without damage.
NOTE
Please refer to the General Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Manual for more details.
Topology and Network Configuration

Wiring
Other types of cable may be used, other than for conformance testing. Cables with improved
specifications may enable longer trunk length or superior interface immunity. Conversely, cables
with inferior specifications may be used subject to length limitations for trunk and spurs plus possible
nonconformance to the RFI/EMI susceptibility requirements. For intrinsically safe applications, the
inductance/resistance ratio (L/R) should be less than the limit specified by the local
regulatory agency for the particular implementation.
Figure 1.5 - Bus Topology
1.4
Installation
Figure 1.6 - Tree Topology
There are two ways to configure the communication and function block links for the FI302. The first
is using a system configuration device. In this case the heaviest and most difficult task is automated
and the risk for configurating the communication wrongly is almost eliminated. In this system,
addressing of a device is first done using the physical device tag of that device. Before a new (non-
initialized) device is connected to the network it must therefore be configured with this tag.
Connect a configurator to the non-initialized FI302 without having any other devices on the line.
Assign the physical device tag to the FI302.
The FI302 is now initialized and can be connected to the network.
The system will now automatically assign a station address to the FI302, bringing it to its stand-by
state.
The FI302 can now be configured for the application and brought to the operational state.
The second method is manually pre-configured the communication using the local adjustment. This
eliminates the need for a powerful system configurator, but requires more knowledge of the Fieldbus
communication mechanism. This may be a money saving solution in a small system, but hard to do
bug-free in a large system.

Section 2
Operation
Functional Description – Electronics Refer to the block diagram
Figure 2.1 - FI302 Block Diagram
The function of each block is described below:
D/A
Receives the signal from the CPU and converts it to an analog voltage, used by the current control.
Current Control
Controls the current of the channel according the data received from the CPU.
Signal Isolator
Its function is to isolate the data signal between the output and the CPU.
(CPU) Central Processing Unit, RAM and PROM

The CPU is the intelligent portion of the converter, being responsible for the management and
operation of block execution, self-diagnostics and communication. The program is stored in PROM.
For temporary storage of data there is a RAM. The data in the RAM is lost if the power is switched
off, however the device also has a nonvolatile EEPROM where data that must be retained is stored.
Examples of such data are calibration, configuration and identification data.
Communication Controller
It monitors line activity, modulates and demodulates communication signals and inserts and deletes
start and end delimiters.
Power Supply
Takes power of the loop-line to power the converter circuitry.
2.1
Power Isolation
Just like the signals to and from the output section, the power to the output section must be isolated.
Display Controller
Receives data from the CPU and drives the Liquid Crystal Display.
Local Adjustment
Two switches that are magnetically activated. They can be activated by the magnetic tool without
mechanical or electrical contact.
2.2
Section 3
Configuration
One of the many advantages of Fieldbus is that device configuration is independent of the
configurator. The FI302 may be configured by a third party terminal or operator console. Any
particular configurator is therefore not addressed here.
The FI302 contains three output transducer blocks, one resource block, one display transducer
block and function blocks.
Function Blocks are not covered in this manual. For explanation and details of function blocks, see
the “Function Blocks Manual”.
Transducer Block
Transducer block insulates function block from the specific I/O hardware, such as sensors,
actuators. Transducer block controls access to I/O through manufacturer specific implementation.
This permits the transducer block to execute as frequently as necessary to obtain good data from
sensors without burdening the function blocks that use the data. It also insulates the function block
from the manufacturer specific characteristics of certain hardware.
By accessing the hardware, the transducer block can get data from I/O or passing control data to it.
The connection between Transducer block and Function block is called channel. These blocks can
exchange data from its interface.
Normally, transducer blocks perform functions, such as linearization, characterization, temperature
compensation, control and exchange data to hardware.
How to Configure a Transducer Block

Each time when you select a field device on SYSCON by instantiating on the Operation menu,
automatically you instantiate one transducer block and it appears on screen.
The icon indicates that one transducer block has been created and by clicking twice on the icon, you
can access it.
The transducer block has an algorithm, a set of contained parameters and a channel connecting it to
a function block.
The algorithm describes the behavior of the transducer as a data transfer function between the I/O
hardware and other function block. The set of contained parameters, it means, you are not able to
link them to other blocks and publish the link via communication, defines the user interface to the
transducer block. They can be divided into Standard and Manufacturer Specific.
The standard parameters will be present for such class of device, as pressure, temperature,
actuator, etc., whatever is the manufacturer. Oppositely, the manufacturers specific ones are
defined only for its manufacturer. As common manufacturer specific parameters, we have calibration
settings, material information, linearization curve, etc.
When you perform a standard routine as a calibration, you are conducted step by step by a method.
The method is generally defined as guide line to help the user to make common tasks. The
SYSCON identifies each method associated to the parameters and enables the interface to it.
Terminal Number
The terminal number, which references a channel value, which is sent via internal, manufacturer-
specific from the specified transducer, output to function block.
It starts at one (1) for transducer number one until three (3) for transducer number three.
The channel number of the AO block is related to the transducer’s terminal number. Channel
number 1, 2, 3 corresponds bi-univocally to the terminal block with the same number. Therefore, all
the user has to do is to select combinations: (1.1), (2.2), (3,3) for (CHANNEL, BLOCK).
3.1
Current Trim
The FI302 provides the capability of making a trim in the output channels, if necessary.
A trim is necessary if the indicator reading of the transducer block output differs from the actual
physical output. The reason may be:
• The user's current meter differs from the factory standard.

• The converter had its original characterization shifted by over-load or by long term drift.
The user can check the calibration of the transducer output by measuring the actual current in the
output and compare it with the device’s indication (of course an appropriate meter should be used).
If a mismatch is detected, a trim can be done.
Trim can be done in two points:
LOWER TRIM: Is used to trim the output at the lower range.

UPPER TRIM: Is used to trim the output at the upper range.
These two points define the linear characteristic of the output. Trim in one point is independent from
the other.
There are two ways of doing the trim: using local adjustment or using SYSCON (the System
Configurator from SMAR). When doing the trim, make sure you are using an appropriate meter (with
the necessary accuracy).

Configuration
Characterization Curve
The transducer block also has a characterization curve, used to give a determined profile to the
output. This is useful, for example, when the FI302 is controlling a valve with a non-linear
characteristic. Characterization curve, when used, is applied to the input signal, before it is
converted by the transducer to analog current.
Use of the curve is defined by the CURVE_BYPASS parameter. When CURVE_BYPASS is True
(Bypass), the curve is not used and the input value is passed directly to the current conversion
routine. When CURVE_BYPASS is false (No Bypass), curve is used.
"True" means that This value "False"

Via Local Adjustment

The FI302 has 3 output transducers and its device leaves SMAR with factory settings. The factory
setting establishes only the transducers #1 as default for local adjustment. In order to configure the
others via local adjustment, the user should configure them in the display transducer via SYSCON,
according specific instructions for this transducer block.
In order to enter the local adjustment mode, place the magnetic tool in orifice “Z” until flag “MD”
lights up in the display. Remove the magnetic tool from “Z” and place it in orifice “S”. Remove and
reinsert the magnetic tool in “S” until the message “Loc-Adj” is displayed. The message will be
3.8
Configuration
displayed during approximately 5 sec. after the user removes the magnetic tool from “S”. By placing
the magnetic tool in “Z” the user will be able to access the local adjustment/monitoring tree. Browse
to parameter “LOWER”. After that, in order to start the calibration, the user should actuate
parameter “LOWER” with the help of the magnetic tool placed in “S”.
For example, it is possible to enter 4.0 mA or the lower value. When the magnetic tool is removed
from “S”, the output will be adjusted to a value close to the desired value. The user should then
browse the tree up to parameter FEED (FEEDBACK_CAL), and actuate this parameter by placing
the magnetic tool in “S” until reaching the value shown by the multimeter.
The user should write in this parameter the multimeter readout value until 4.0 mA or the desired
lower values are displayed.
Browse up to parameter “UPPER”. Then, in order to start the calibration, the user should actuate
parameter UPPER by planing the magnetic tool in “S”.
For example, it is possible to enter 20.0 mA or the upper value. When the magnetic tool is removed
from “S”, the output will be adjusted to a value close to the desired value. The user should then
browse the tree up to parameter FEED (FEEDBACK_CAL) and actuate this parameter by placing
the magnetic tool in “S” until reaching the value shown by the multimeter.
The user should write in this parameter the multimeter readout value until 20.0 mA or the desired
upper values are displayed.
NOTE
Trim mode exit via local adjustment occurs automatically.

Should the magnetic tool not be used during approximately 16
seconds.

Display Transducer Block

The local adjustment is completely configured by SYSCON. It means, the user can select the best
options to fit his application. From factory, it is configured with the options to set the Upper and
Lower trim, for monitoring the input transducer output and check the Tag. Normally, the transmitter
is much better configured by SYSCON, but the local functionality of the LCD permits an easy and
fast action on certain parameters, since it does not rely on communication and network wiring
connections. Among the possibilities by Local Adjustment, the following options can be emphasized:
Mode block, Outputs monitoring, Tag visualization and Tuning Parameters setting.
The interface between the user is described very detailed on the "General Installation, Operation
and Maintenance Procedures Manual". Please take a detailed look at this manual in the chapter
related to "Programming Using Local Adjustment". It is significantly the resources on this transducer
display, also all the Series 302 field devices from SMAR has the same methodology to handle with
it. So, since the user has learned once, he is capable to handle all kind of field devices from SMAR.
3.9
All function block and transducers defined according Foundation Fieldbus have a description of
their features written on binary files, by the Device Description Language. This feature permits that
third parties configurator enabled by Device Description Service technology can interpret these
features and make them accessible to configure. The Function Blocks and Transducers of Series
302 have been defined rigorously according the Foundation Fieldbus specifications in order to be
interoperable to other parties.
In order to able the local adjustment using the magnetic tool, it is necessary to previously prepare
the parameters related with this operation via SYSCON (System Configuration). The Figure 3.8 -
Calibration Error Message – FI302 and the Figure 3.9 - Enabling the Characterization Curve show
all parameters and their respective values, which shall be configured in accordance with then
necessity of being locally adjusted by means of the magnetic tool. All values shown on the display
are default values.
There are seven groups of parameters, which may be pre-configured by the user in order to able, a
possible configuration by means of the local adjustment. As an example, let’s suppose that you
don’t want to show some parameters; in this case, simply write an invalid Tag in the parameter,
Block_Tag_Param_X. Doing this, the device will not take the parameters related (indexed) to its Tag
as a valid parameters.
Definition of Parameters and Values

Block_Tag_Param
This is tag of the block to which the parameter belongs. Use up to a maximum of 32 characters.
Index_Relative
This is the index related to the parameter to be actuated or viewed (0, 1, 2…). Refer to the Function
Blocks Manual to know the desired indexes, or visualize them on the SYSCON by opening the
desired block.
In case you wish to visualize a certain tag, opt for the index relative equal to zero, and for the sub-
index equal to one (refer to paragraph Structure Block in the Function Blocks Manual).
Sub_Index
This is the mnemonic for the parameter identification (it accepts a maximum of 16 characters in the
alphanumeric field of the display). Choose the mnemonic, preferably with no more than 5 characters
because, this way, it will not be necessary to rotate it on the display.
Inc_Dec
It is the increment and decrement in decimal units when the parameter is Float or Float Status time,
or integer, when the parameter is in whole units.
Decimal_Point_Numb.
This is the number of digits after the decimal point (0 to 3 decimal digits).
Access
The access allows the user to read, in the case of the “Monitoring” option, and to write when "action"
option is selected, then the display will show the increment and decrement arrows.
Alpha_Num
These parameters include two options: value and mnemonic. In option value, it is possible to display
data both in the alphanumeric and in the numeric fields; this way, in the case of a data higher than
10000, it will be shown in the alphanumeric field.
In option mnemonic, the display may show the data in the numeric field and the mnemonic in the
alphanumeric field.
In case you wish to visualize a certain tag, opt for the index relative equal to zero, and for the sub-
index equal to one (refer to paragraph Structure Block in the Function Blocks Manual).

Maintenance Procedures
General
SMAR FI302 Fieldbus to Current Converters are extensively tested and inspected before delivery to
the end user. Nevertheless, during their design and development, consideration was given to the
possibility of repairs by the end user, if necessary.
In general, it is recommended that the end-user do not try to repair printed circuit boards. Instead,
he should have spare circuit boards, which may be ordered from SMAR whenever necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM PROBABLE SOURCES OF TROUBLE
Converter Fieldbus Connections

Check wiring polarity and continuity.
Power Supply
NO QUIESCENT
CURRENT Check power supply output. The voltage at the FI302 Fieldbus terminals must be between
9 and 32 VDC.
Electronics Circuit Failure

Check circuit boards for defect by replacing them with spare ones.
Network Connection
Check network connections: devices, power supply and terminators.
Network Impedance
Check network impedance (power supply impedance and terminators).
NO Converter Configuration
COMMUNICATION Check configuration of communication parameters of converter.
Network Configuration
Check communication configuration of the network.
Electronics Circuit Failure

Try to replace the converter circuit with spare parts.
Output Terminals Connection
Check wiring polarity and continuity.
Power Supply
Check power supply output. The voltage at the output terminals of FI302 must be
between 3 and 45 VDC.
INCORRECT
OUTPUTS
Load Resistance
Load resistance must be between 0 and 2000Ω. Note that the maximum value depends
on output power supply voltage.
Calibration
Check calibration of converter.
4.1
If the problem is not presented in the table above follow the Note below:
NOTE
The Factory Init should be tried as a last option to recover the equipment control when the equipment
presents some problem related to the function blocks or the communication. This operation must only be
carried out by authorized technical personnel and with the process offline, since the equipment will
be configured with standard and factory data.
This procedure resets all the configurations run on the equipment, after which a partial download should be
performed.
Two magnetic tools should be used to this efect,. On the equipment, withdraw the nut that fixes the
identification tag on the top of the housing, so that access is gained to the "S" and "Z" holes.
The operations to follow are:
1) Switch off the equipment, insert the magnetic tools and keep them in the holes (the magnetic end in the
holes);
2) Feed the equipment;
3) As soon as Factory Init is shown on the display, take off the tools and wait for the "5" symbol on the right
upper corner of the display to unlit, thus indicating the end of the operation.
This procedure makes effective all the factory configuration and will eliminate eventual problems with the
function blocks or with the equipment communication.
Disassembly Procedure
Refer to Figure 4.1 - FI302 Exploded View Make sure to disconnect power supply before
disassembling the converter.
Figure 4.1 - FI302 Exploded View
4.2
Electronic Circuit
The main board (5) and output board (7) are matched pairs and must be changed together and not
mixed with others.
To remove the circuit boards (5 and 7) and display (4), first loose the cover locking (8) on the side
not marked "Field Terminals", then unscrew the cover (1).
WARNING
The boards have CMOS components, which may be damaged

by electrostatic discharges. Observe correct procedures for
handling CMOS components. It is also recommended to store
the circuit boards in electrostatic-proof cases.
Loosen the two screws (3) that anchors the display and the main circuit board. Gently pull out the
display, and then the main board (5). To remove the output board (7), first unscrew the two screws
(6) that anchors it to the housing (9), and gently pull out the board.
Reassemble Procedure
Put output board (7) into housing (9).
Anchor output board with its screws (6).
Put main board (5) into the housing, ensuring all inter connecting pins are connected.
Put display (4) into the housing, observing the four mounting positions. "" should point in the
direction desired as UP.
Anchor the main board and display with their screws (3).
Fit the cover (1) and lock it using the locking screw (8).
Interchangeability
Main and output boards are supposed to stay together, because calibration data from output board
circuit is stored in EEPROM of the main board. If, for some reason, you separate the boards, you
must do a calibration procedure to guarantee precision of the outputs.
Returning Materials
Should it become necessary to return the converter to SMAR, simply contact your local agent or
SMAR office, informing the defective instrument’s serial number, and return it to our factory.
In order to expedite analysis and solution of the problem, the defective item should be returned with
a description of the failure observed, with as many details as possible. Other information concerning
to the instrument operation, such as service and process conditions, is also helpful.
