Our Bulletin 1788 Redundant EtherNet/IP™ to FOUNDATION Fieldbus (H1) Linking Device provides a fast and integrated solution for adding FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to any Logix platform.
Overview
- Self-contained, panel, or DIN-rail mountable device
- Links an EtherNet/IP™ network to a single H1 segment
- Connects and powers as many as 16 field devices, eliminating the need for external power conditioners
- Supports multiple levels of device and media redundancy
- Provides two physical H1 ports
- Intelligent Fieldbus Junction Box protects the network from both short and open circuit faults, improving the overall reliability of the system
- Supports EtherNet/IP Media redundancy
- Hosts two Ethernet ports through Embedded Ethernet Switch technology
- Allows the device to be connected in a linear or a Device Level Ring (DLR) topology
- Supports Master Device redundancy
- Allows two identically-configured Redundant EtherNet/IP to FOUNDATION Fieldbus linking devices to be connected on the same H1 network
- Supports transfer of data between the devices and the Logix controller
- Provides seamless RSLogix 5000™ environment integration through Add-On Profiles, which automatically identifies field devices and configures them to their default settings
- Supports FDT/DTM Technology, allowing direct access to field device diagnostics and parameters using an FDT frame, such as FactoryTalk® AssetCentre
- Provides all basic diagnostic information in the input assembly
- Helps simplify large network commissioning through diagnostic parameters such as Power Supply Voltage, H1 Bus Voltage (A & B bus), H1 Bus Current (A & B bus), and Unit Internal Temperature
- Simplifies commissioning through onboard advanced diagnostics, including a node-specific H1 bus oscilloscope trace that can be viewed within the RSLogix5000 Add-On Profile
- Contains the FOUNDATION Fieldbus Registered FF H1 Stack developed by Rockwell Automation®
