Pbhiomb Block Creation; Pbhiomb Block Deletion - Honeywell Experion PKS User Manual

The following configuration must be done in the PBHIOMB blocks.
• PDC Name Reference must be associated to a PDC defined in the DSB block to obtain the following
information about the PDC.
– Slave Address
– PDC Number
– PDC Description
– PDC Grouped
– Channel Number Offset
– Number of channels
– Slot Type
• Slot Number must be configured to identify the module position in the chassis.
Note
DSB blocks must be configured for configuring the PDC Name Reference in the PBHIOMB block. The maximum
number of PBHIOMB supported for one PBLINK is 256 considering that a minimum of one HART device is
connected to each PBHIOMB. Hence, the number of PBHIOMB supported on both the links is 512.
Bulk Build support for PBHIOMB block
When you create a bulk build of the PBHIOMB block, you must configure the ASSIGNEDDSBNAME
parameter in the excel sheet to which the PBHIOMB needs to be associated. In addition, you must configure the
protocol block-related information in the excel sheet to which the DSB is associated.
For more information about the ASSIGNEDDSBNAME parameter, see Control Builder Parameter Reference.

8.1.1 PBHIOMB block creation

A PBHIOMB block is created by dragging a PBHIOMB module template from the Library and assigning it to
the DSB block in the Project view.
You can also create a PBHIOMB block from the File menu. (File> New > I/O Modules > PGM_IF >
PBHIOMB – Profibus HART I/O Module Block). In this method, the PBHIOMB block is created under the
"Unassigned" blocks. You must drag and drop the PBHIOMB block to the DSB block.

8.1.2 PBHIOMB block deletion

The PBHIOMB block can be deleted from the Project view in Control Builder even if the PBHCHANNEL is
configured. To delete the PBHIOMB block either from the Project view or Monitoring view, right-click the
PBHIOMB block and then click Delete.
Attention
THe PBHCAHNNELs configured under the PBHIOMB block are also deleted when the PBHIOMB block is deleted.
Attention
The Number of Channels parameter can be configured only when the PDCs are grouped.
