Modbus TCP/FF HSE to FOUNDATION Fieldbus 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.

Features

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 behaviour
FF HSE interface for EDD based applications like Emerson’s AMS Device Manager (< V14.5 or >= V15)
DTM for FDT applications like PACTware, Yokogawa FieldMate, Honeywell FDM, E+H FieldCare

High availability

Redundancy link enabling device redundancy (D-3 according to FF-593)
Automatic mirroring of configuration data
Very fast redundancy switchover

The FG-200 is the successor product of FG-110.
