The PLC 1788-CN2FF ControlNet-to-FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 linking device is a closed-looped connecting device that links field bus devices to ControlNet controllers for easy closed-loop control. Basically, the 1788-CN2FF device allows for quick and easy configuration, enhanced closed-loop control, and direct monitoring of devices on the closed-loop system. With the 1788-CN2FF device, the ControlNet PLC processor can easily access data and control any connected Fieldbus devices like pressure transmitters. The 1788-CN2FF device is a multi-block and multi-channel device that makes connected Fieldbus devices visible on the ControlNet network, thereby allowing the ControlNet devices and controllers to access data from the Fieldbus over the ControlNet Network. The 1788-CN2FF device is compatible with the ControlNet, NAP access port, and the FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 channel.
It requires an input voltage range of 15 to 30 Volts DC, and an operating current of 270 milliAmps at 24 Volts DC. The 1788-CN2FF device has ControlNet BNC connectors, two 10-position rotary switches, an RJ-45 NAP port, a 9-pin Fieldbus connector, and a power input terminal. The users can easily monitor the Module Status and ControlNet status via indicator lights. The 1788-CN2FF device can be installed easily by using a factory-included rugged clip for easy mounting on a 35-millimeter DIN rail. It has an open type of enclosure and is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 to 60 degrees Celsius (32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit). The 1788-CN2FF device is C-Tick, c-UL-us, FCC, and CE certified, and it has approximate mounting dimensions of 4.375 x 4.375 x 4.5 inches.
