Quiz: Which was the first phone with web browser?

Apple iPhoneNokia 9000 CommunicatorMotorola Razr

Released 1996

• Not easy to navigate• People not yet

Internet savvy• No habit of

searching web


Quiz: Which was the first phone with music player?

Apple iPhoneNokia 9000 CommunicatorSony Ericsson W800

Released 2005

• Had to rip CDs and copy files

• Not easy to find/search songs


Quiz: Which was the first phone where you can install applications?

Apple iPhoneHandspring (Palm) Treo 180Sony Ericsson W800

Released 2002

• Apps not easy to buy• Not easy to use• “too small”


iPhone Ease-of-Use- Human Centered Design

Power of Context: The time was right; people were ready

for computer, Internet, synching, and dependent on

the web


“We’re Gonna Reinvent the Phone”



Past Fieldbus Learning CurveDifferent from 4-20 mA

Had to download DD from the Internet– Computer skills– Internet skills

Had to load DD on the system– System skills

Can’t see signal with multimeter

Too DifficultDownload errorsConfiguration errorsCryptic device error codesHad to change system configuration at device replacementScattered parameters with cryptic namesConservative design process and constraints

This was a problem in before but isn’t today


Fieldbus Ease of UseBetter but not so different...

Device Replacement Guideline and Specifications

Device Level Methods and Views


Commissioning:- Faster, but...

User Experience– Download offline configuration results in errors– Multiple downloads typically resolve errors, but this

increases overall commissioning time

Analysis– Devices apply checks to maintain consistency during

download– Device expects a specific order for parameter

download– Some parameters should not be written during an

automated download


ITK6 Profile Improves CommissioningNew “no_download” lists inform host which parameters should not be part of an automated download– Described in EDD– e.g. calibration parameters– e.g. vendor specific behavioral parameters

New deferral of inter-parameter checks– Disables consistency checks during automated

download– Once completed, device re-evaluates configuration – Reduces errors due to parameter order mismatch

New parameter BLOCK_ERR_DESC_n – Provides more detail to the configuration block error


Maintenance- Rationalized with diagnostics, but...

User Experience– Diagnostic data is represented in different forms,

making integration difficult

Analysis– A common structured approach across networks is

necessary to bring the right information to the right person in context


ITK6 NAMUR NE107 Improves Self-Monitoring and Diagnosis of Field Devices

Diagnosis results must be reliable

Diagnosis results must always be viewed in the context of the application.

Internal diagnosis must be categorized into 4 standard “status signals”

Configuration must be free, as reactions will depend on the user's requirements

Detailed information can be read out by the device specialist

Device Replacement- Interoperability works, but...

User Experience– Replacing devices requires access to system software

Analysis– Replacement devices are sometimes newer than the

device used before– A new type or version of device requires the DD to be

loaded and the tag to be updated


ITK6 Improves Device ReplacementFieldbus Foundation published an application note for suppliers to define rules for ‘Like’ device replacementNew parameter COMPATIBILITY_REV declare compatibility rulesEnables systems to use an updated device that was commissioned with a prior version device versionSimplify the 2 a.m. device replacement scenario


Device Setup and Diagnostics- Device management improved, but...

User Experience– Users must browse through many blocks to get an

overview of health from all diagnostics– Users must go to many blocks to completely configure

the device

Analysis– Traditional DD accessed the blocks one by one
