Debug Rosemount 8732E using the 475 field communicator

Foundation Fieldbus FF (Foundation Fieldbus) is an all-digital serial two-way communication system used to connect various intelligent instrument equipment and automation systems in the industrial field. Nowadays, there are more and more projects adopting bus architecture, but not everyone is very familiar with the debugging of FF bus instrument. This article mainly introduces how to debug Rosemount 8732E electromagnetic flowmeter through Emerson's 475 handheld communicator supporting Foundation Fieldbus bus protocol. Everyone It can be applied to the debugging of other instruments by analogy.

Tools needed for debugging: Emerson 475 handheld communicator, AMS Trex handheld communicator.
