Figure 1.2 ControlNet-to-FOUNDATION Fieldbus Linking Device
The linking device is designed to be mounted on a 35 mm DIN rail. It has
one ControlNet port with support for redundant media and a network access
port. The ControlNet status LEDs on the front of the linking device display
the current status of each of the redundant media channels. The rotary
switches are used to set the ControlNet network address. You can write the
network address in the space provided on front of the device.
The linking device has two separate Fieldbus ports. Next to each port is an
LED to display the current status of the port. The status LED indicates if the
device is powered on and operating properly. The power connections are
used to supply power to the linking device.
For more information on connecting and configuring the linking device see
