FOUNDATION FIELDBUS
FG-110 FF
Modbus Gateway and Linking Device for Integrating FOUNDATION™ fieldbus
The FG-110 FF allows integrating FOUNDATION fieldbus (FF) technology into legacy plants and Modbus
control systems. It includes a Windows-based FF configuration tool and can be used for implementing
state-of-the-art information services.
EXTENDING PLANTS AND CONTROLLERS BY INTEGRATING FF ADVANTAGES
CUSTOMER BENEFITS
The gateway and Linking Device FG-110 FF is designed for plant operators and
> I ntegration of FF Advantages Into Plants
system integrators. It allows including up to four FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 segments
with as many as 64 field devices into Modbus RTU based legacy (not FF-ready)
plants or into control systems supporting Modbus TCP. This provides access to
process data, while making use of FF advantages like reduced cabling, central field
device parameterization, comprehensive diagnosis functionality, or intrinsically
safe, fieldbus-powered field devices. The implementation of “Control in the Field”, a
specialty of FF, is also possible by configuring the available field devices as a control
loop without a dedicated controller component.
COST SAVINGS THROUGH INCLUDED CONFIGURATION TOOL
The FG-110 FF is delivered together with a Windows-based F OUNDATION fieldbus
configuration tool, which communicates via the FF High Speed Ethernet (HSE)
protocol. It provides the complete FF configuration functionality like the definition
of Function Block linking and scheduling as well as bus parameter settings, and field
device parameterization. The configuration tool makes use of registered standard
Device Description files, as available from the field device manufacturers and the
Fieldbus Foundation.
In addition, the FG-110 FF provides an integrated web server, which allows defining
the mapping of FF functions to Modbus registers, or monitoring the process values.
ACCESS POINT FOR USING ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONALITY IN FF SEGMENT
The FG-110 FF can be used as a key component for implementing additional automation
functionality in the FF section of the plant. For instance, asset management systems
(e.g. Emerson’s AMS) and Field Device Tool (FDT) frame applications (e.g. SMART
VISION, FieldMate, Field Device Manager, or PACTware) can be included using the FG110 FF as access point.
