The FF Link module simplifies the implementation of FOUNDATION™

Fieldbus H1 by combining an EtherNet/IP™ and Modbus® TCP Linking

device with an internal isolated power conditioner and bus terminator.

The FF Link supports module redundancy when in EtherNet/IP target

mode, allowing two FF Link masters to be connected to the same H1

segment in a one-active-one-standby strategy.

Configuration is achieved using Aparian’s free-downloadable Slate

configuration environment. Slate generates H1 device specific UDTs and

mapping code which can be imported into Studio 5000. allowing even

complex systems to be configured in minutes.
