EN 50170 General Purpose Field Communication System Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 50170 testing. EN 50170 is a standard that specifies a set of solutions called general purpose field communication system. The scope covers complex devices, smart field devices and simple I/Os. It is not limited to the process industry, but aims to meet the needs of most industrial areas. To date, there is no single concept that can simply encompass all communication qualities.

A fieldbus system is a distributed system of field devices and control/monitoring equipment integrated into the physical environment of a plant or factory. Fieldbus devices work together to provide I/O and control for automated processes and operations. Fieldbus systems can operate in production and process control environments with inherent safety requirements.

Each physical device performs a portion of the total system work by implementing one or more application processes. Application processes perform one or more time critical functions such as providing sensor readings or implementing control algorithms. These and other basic domain device functions are modeled as function blocks. Its activities are coordinated through the configuration of operating parameters, execution programs and communications.
