INTRODUCTION

The FF Link operates as an FF H1 master allowing EtherNet/IP devices (e.g. Rockwell Automation Logix platform) or Modbus devices to exchange process, alarming, and diagnostic data with H1 devices as well as provide parameterization and asset management of H1 devices using either the Slate software or Device Type Managers (DTMs).

The FF Link module can connect up to 32 H1 slave devices.

REQUIRED SOFTWARE

The FF Link/B module requires Aparian Slate software to setup and configure. The software installation can be found at www.aparian.com/software/slate.

MODULE INSTALLATION

  • The module has two Ethernet ports located at the lower front of the module.
  • There are also two ports at the bottom of the module for power and Foundation Fieldbus H1.
  • The power port uses a three-way connector which is used for the DC power supply positive and negative (or ground) voltage as well as the earth connection.
  • The H1 port uses a three-way connector for H1 bus positive, negative and shield.

INTERNAL POWER CONDITIONER

The module supports an internal H1 Power Conditioner capable of delivering 420 mA. It can be enabled / disabled in the software configuration.
