Abstract
FOUNDATION Fieldbus was announced as “one of the greatest technological innovation to the next generation”. In Japan, FOUNDATION Fieldbus Association was established in 1994, and standard application products have been released since 1996.Numbers of industrial plants using the Fieldbus system started their operation in 1999, and also in Fushiki Mill, since “N-DIP modernize construction” had been authorized in October 2000, we started to investigate the system. The investigation was on these three points : 1. Flexibility to extended industrial plants (= high leveled adaptation), 2. Product repletion (= PID control function built in Fieldbus products) 3. Integereation with DCS system (= possibility through engineering from DCS system). Then, technical training, designing, engineering, field test, and all kinds of simulation had been enforced, and finally we have succeeded to operate the system in April 15 th 2001. Now, I would like to report the present condition and issues of “New Fieldbus System”.
