Foundation Field Bus and Implementation of Network Communication Stack

Abstract

This paper focuses on the foundation field bus and implementation of the network communication stack. Field bus network is a distributed controlling system where the controlling algorithms are running in the fieldbus devices itself thus helping in the decentralized controlling of the devices avoiding the overhead on the communication channel. To achieve this purpose the field bus device has to be first identified by the field bus network. For this reason, every field bus device has to be occupied with the communication stack. This paper presents a brief introduction about the foundation field bus. After introduction we will present the implementation aspects of the communication stack, where we are going to discuss about the different building blocks of the communication stack.
