Redundant ControlNet to FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 Linking Device

Our Bulletin 1788 Redundant ContolNet™ to FOUNDATION Fieldbus (H1) Linking Device provides a fast and integrated solution for adding FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to any Logix platform.

Features

• Self-contained, panel, or DIN-rail mountable device
• Links a ControlNet™ 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 ControlNet Media redundancy
• Supports Master Device redundancy
  • Allows two identically-configured Redundant ControlNet to FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to be connected on the same H1 network
  • Supports transfer of data between the devices and the Logix controller
• Provides seamless RSLogix5000™ 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®
