1788-CN2FF Installation Example F-49
Remote Configuration of a
Fieldbus Network via the
1788-CN2FF The 1788-FFCT, the Foundation Fieldbus Configuration Tool, works
through RSLinx, so the things that you expect to be able to do through
RSLinx, you can in fact do with the FFCT, including configuration from
a remote location.
In the section Assigning a Path to the 1788-CN2FF starting on
page F-10, we determined the path to a CN2FF where multiple
ControlNet networks were involved. The procedure for Ethernet is
similar.
1. Set up an Ethernet Gateway Driver to connect to the 1756-ENET
module in the remote rack where you will connect to
ControlNet.
2. Open the DDE/OPC window.
3. Create a New Topic, refer to page F-7.
4. Start with a TCP-1 interface, navigate to and highlight the CN2FF.
5. Click Apply.
