FG-200
Modbus TCP/FF HSE to FF H1 Gateway
Direct FF H1 segment integration - Modbus TCP control systems or FF HSE asset management applications
With Softing’s FG-200, it is possible to integrate up to four FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus (FF) H1 links into control systems supporting Modbus TCP or into FF asset management applications. The FG-200 provides redundancy and is suitable for use in hazardous areas. This device features fast access to process data, while making use of FF advantages like reduced cabling, central field device parameterization, comprehensive diagnostics, or intrinsically safe device segments.
Overview
Integration of FF-H1 devices into Modbus TCP control systems
Parallel support of up to 4 FF-H1 channels, each for max. 16 field devices
Fast access to process data
Suitable for use in hazardous areas
FF Configuration Tool for easy commissioning
Access to FF H1 devices from plant asset management applications
Visitor mode for avoiding interference with network behavior
FF HSE interface for EDD based applications like Emerson’s AMS Device Manager (< V14.5 or >= V15)
