Quick Start
Redundant EtherNet/IP to FOUNDATION
Fieldbus Linking Device
Catalog Number 1788-EN2FFR
About the Linking Device
The 1788-EN2FFR linking device bridges an EtherNet/IP connection to a single
FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 segment. The segment can support 16 Fieldbus devices. The
High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) layer is not supported.
The H1 segment is split between two hardware ports. Each port can provide 500 mA.
The linking device can support numerous redundant and simple topologies. Power conditioning
is built-in, and therefore, no external power conditioners are required.
