This field controller covers all major fieldbuses in process automation.

Optionally, A supports redundancy.

A single controller can typically support around 1.000 I/Os.

The AC 800F controller has a modular structure.

The CPU is designed as a backplane to which various modules

– power supply units, Ethernet and fieldbus modules

– can be attached in line with the application.

On the fieldbus side, modules are available for:

• PROFIBUS-DPV1

• FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE

• MODBUS (master / slave, RTU or ASCII)

• IEC 60870-5-101. IEC 60870-5-104

• CAN for Freelance Rack I/O

The fieldbus line and the connected field devices are entirely

configured and parameterized using the Freelance Engineering Tool.

No further external tools are needed for configuration.
