Communication Profile Family 1 (commonly known as FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus1) defines
communication profiles based on IEC 61158-2, Type 1, IEC 61158-3-1, IEC 61158-4-1,
IEC 61158-5-5, IEC 61158-5-9, IEC 61158-6-5, and IEC 61158-6-9. The basic profiles CP 1/1
(FF H1) and CP 1/2 (FF HSE) are defined in IEC 61784-1.
This part of IEC 62453 provides information for integrating the FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus (FF)
protocol into the FDT standard (IEC 62453-2).
The standard describes communication definitions, protocol specific extensions and the
means for block (e.g. transducer, resource or function blocks) representation.
The new protocol specific definitions are based on FF-specifications for H1 and HSE
protocols. Furthermore, the definitions contain information that is needed by systems to
configure FF devices.
The scope is limited to FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus device and system specific definitions.
