2.3 Power modes


The USB Fieldbus Interface is capable of working in two power modes:
• Mode 1 - The interface does not supply power to the connected fieldbus
device or segment. The fieldbus device or segment is powered by an
external source.

Mode 1 is the default.


• Mode 2 - The interface powers the connected fieldbus device or segment
and no external power is needed.

The interface is capable of powering multiple devices on a fieldbus


segment through an external USB hub. It can provide current of up to 85
mA (typically sufficient for three or four fieldbus devices on the same
segment).

You can configure Mode 2 using the Fieldbus Interface Configuration


utility. For more information, see Section 4.2.

WARNING!
Choose only one power mode. Never attempt to use two power sources at the same time. Doing so
can disrupt communications and may compromise automation safety.

3 Software installation and device setup

Topics covered in this chapter:

• System requirements
• Install the Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility
• Install the Communication DTM software
• Install the Emerson DTM Library
• Setup and connection
• Connect to a live fieldbus segment

Perform software installation and device setup in the following order:


1. Install the Fieldbus Interface Configuration utility.

This allows you to configure the USB Fieldbus Interface and connected
fieldbus devices.
2. Install the Communication DTM software.

This enables DTM support for connected fieldbus devices.


3. Install the Emerson DTM Library.

This allows you to use DTMs associated with Emerson devices through an
FDT Frame Application.

Note
Device DTMs are usually acquired from device suppliers. Contact your device supplier if you
have a non-Emerson device and install the appropriate third-party DTM library.

4. Set up and configure connected fieldbus devices.

3.1 System requirements

Supported operating systems


Windows 8.0 and 8.1
Windows 7 (32- or 64-bit)
Windows XP Home or Professional (32-bit) SP3
Hard disk space
At least 500MB
