Compliance
FCC/Canada Radio Frequency Interference Compliance
Determining FCC Class
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has rules to protect wireless communications from interference. The FCC
places digital electronics into two classes. These classes are known as Class A (for use in industrial-commercial locations only)
or Class B (for use in residential or commercial locations). All National Instruments (NI) products are FCC Class A products.
Depending on where it is operated, this Class A product could be subject to restrictions in the FCC rules. (In Canada, the
Department of Communications (DOC), of Industry Canada, regulates wireless interference in much the same way.) Digital
electronics emit weak signals during normal operation that can affect radio, television, or other wireless products.
All Class A products display a simple warning statement of one paragraph in length regarding interference and undesired
operation. The FCC rules have restrictions regarding the locations where FCC Class A products can be operated.
FCC/DOC Warnings
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in strict accordance with the instructions
in this manual and the CE marking Declaration of Conformity*, may cause interference to radio and television reception.
Classification requirements are the same for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Canadian Department of
Communications (DOC).
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by NI could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment under the FCC
Rules.
Class A
Federal Communications Commission
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated
in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user is required to correct the interference
at their own expense.
Canadian Department of Communications
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe A respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
Compliance to EU Directives
Readers in the European Union (EU) must refer to the manufacturer’s Declaration of Conformity (DoC) for information*
pertaining to the CE marking compliance scheme. The manufacturer includes a DoC for most hardware products except for those
bought from OEMs. In addition, DoCs are usually not provided if compliance is not required, for example electrically benign
apparatus or cables.
To obtain the DoC for this product, click Declarations of Conformity Information at ni.com/hardref.nsf/. This Web site
lists the DoCs by product family. Select the appropriate product family, followed by your product, and a link to the DoC appears
in Adobe Acrobat format. Click the Acrobat icon to download or read the DoC.

Overview of FBUS-HSE/H1
Linking Device (LD) Hardware
This chapter provides an overview of the FBUS-HSE/H1 Linking Device
(LD) hardware.
Product Overview
High Speed Ethernet (HSE) is an extension to the Foundation Fieldbus
specification and is governed by the Foundation Fieldbus organization.
HSE compliments the Foundation Fieldbus H1 network (31.25 kb/s)
specification by offering a high speed (10 Mb/s) link to H1 segments.
Built on standard Ethernet, HSE extrapolates the Fieldbus protocol and
offers controllers the ability to schedule and control H1 devices directly
over Ethernet.
An FBUS-HSE/H1 system consists of at least one linking device connected
to an Ethernet network and at least one H1 device.
The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD connects a 10 Mbps Ethernet network to Fieldbus
H1 devices. Each H1 network can be connected to multiple Fieldbus
devices. Each FBUS-HSE/H1 can support two H1 segments, and each
segment can support up to 16 H1 field devices (without repeaters). Because
the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is an HSE linking device, your network topology
determines the maximum number of FBUS-HSE/H1 LDs that can be
installed on your Ethernet network.
The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD connects directly to a 10 Mbps Ethernet network.
The FBUS-HSE/H1 autodetects the speed of the Ethernet connection and
configures itself accordingly.

Figure 1-1. Typical Ethernet Network Setup
In a distributed application, many Fieldbus H1 segments are networked
together using HSE LDs. With Ethernet, you can use an unlimited number
of Fieldbus H1 segments. Depending on the Ethernet topology, an
unlimited number of host computers can access each bank from any
distance.
Configuration and Monitoring
The LD permits the NI-FBUS Configurator, installed on any Ethernet
networked computer, to configure H1 Fieldbus devices through an
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD as if the configurator were directly connected to the
H1 Fieldbus network.
The NI-FBUS Configurator, by way of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD,
transparently generates configuration and device-parameter information
about all H1 Fieldbus devices connected to the linking device.

Hardware Installation and Configuration
The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD can be one of up to 32 devices connected to a
Fieldbus H1 network. The connection is made through one of the two 9-pin
male D-sub Fieldbus H1 connectors on the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD, shown in
Figure 2-4.
Use a Fieldbus cable with a 9-pin female D-sub connector to connect the
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD to a properly terminated Fieldbus network. When you
are using only an FBUS-HSE/H1 LD, the power hub is not being used for
power. For other Foundation Fieldbus devices that use bus powering, you
Refer to the Fieldbus Foundation Wiring and Installation 31.25 kbit/s,
Voltage Mode, Wire Medium Application Guide for specific information
about wiring and installing a Fieldbus network. If you want to make your
own Fieldbus cable, refer to the Fieldbus Standard for Use in Industrial
Control Systems, Part 2, ISA-S50.02.1992. The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD

Resetting the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD
If the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD cannot communicate with the network, you can
configure the Ethernet settings through NI-FBUS software. When you
configure the device, it attempts to confirm that the new settings are
valid. However, if the configuration process is interrupted or the
FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is moved to a new network with different settings,
the device might not be able to communicate with the network. If this
occurs, you can manually reset the unit to its factory settings.
Complete the follow steps to reset the unit.
1. Power down the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD and remove it from the bank.
2. Locate the slot on the bottom of the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD just above the
label. Inside the slot, find the red reset switch, shown in Figure A-1.

Caution Do not power down the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD while the PROCESS LED is lit.
The green PROCESS LED is lit when you update the nonvolatile flash

save channel settings or power-up values, or upgrade its firmware, you need
to update the nonvolatile flash memory.
The red Ethernet STATUS LED is lit when the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD detects
an error. The FBUS-HSE/H1 LD indicates specific error conditions by
flashing STATUS LED a specific number of times. Table B-1 describes the
STATUS LED flashing sequences and the corresponding error conditions.
The green TX LED is lit when the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD transmits data over
the Ethernet.
The green RX LED is lit when the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD receives data from
the Ethernet. Because of unrelated network traffic, this LED blinks
occasionally even when the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is inactive.
The green LINK LED is lit when the FBUS-HSE/H1 LD is connected to
