Configurating the 1757-FIM 4-9
Adding Fieldbus Interface Module to Project
Use the following procedure to add a Fieldbus Interface Module block
to the Project tab in Control Builder. This also adds two Link blocks
for the two H1 fieldbus links that can be associated with this FIM.
3. With Control Builder running, click New ⇒ Interface Modules
⇒ FIM - Fieldbus Interface Module.
The FIM Block Parameters window opens.
TIP
You can configure a FIM block in the Control Builder
Project tab without the FIM hardware installed.
However, it is good idea to have the communications
driver and hardware that is going to be used for the
system installed and configured. The FIM needs the
name of the communications driver specified on its
configuration form to complete its configuration
data. Like the CPM, the FIM represents a hardware
module and the block configuration specifies the
communication path to the hardware.
