Foundation Fieldbus is an all-digital, serial, two-way communications system that serves as the base-level network in a plant or factory automation environment. ... Foundation Fieldbus technology is mostly used in process industries and in powerplants. It provides greater control and monitoring with fewer wires and less installation hassles, even in hazardous locations. Communication is provided over standard twisted-pair wiring and conformance to FF-844 H1 and IEC 61158-2 standards assures a data transmission and superior physical and mechanical performance, even in adverse environments.
