Example of NE107 with FOUNDATION Fieldbus(FF912)
 Four categories of diagnostic information
 Four severity grades Sixteen possibilities to map NE107 status signal
to a diagnostic information
 Sixteen left possibilities for assigning
independently “process induced diagnosticinformation”

Conclusion Process automation is asking for diagnosticinformation
 Standardized assignment of diagnostic information
to NE107 status signal needed for EtherNet/IP™
 Further technical investigations needed to get
NE107 recommendation into CIP specifications.
