  • Page 15: Using Two Fg-200

    When using two FG-200s as a redundant set, the redundancy link interfaces (RDL) of both FG-200s (primary and secondary) must be connected by a cable, thus forming a redundancy link. If the redundancy link is not installed during start-up (power-on), the FG-200 will operate in non-redundant mode. Note The interface is not galvanically isolated.

  • Page 16: Connecting Ff-H1 Interfaces

    Connecting FF-H1 interfaces Connect the H1 links to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Since the FG-200 does not provide power to the H1 links, a power supply, a power conditioner and a bus termination is required for each H1 link.

    FG-200 acts as visitor host In this case the FG-200 is connected to an H1 segment that is controlled by another FF host system. The links between the FF field devices and the FF host system are working. The FG-200 is not allowed to disturb the operation by reconfiguring working communication paths.

    As the PLC write accesses to the FG-200 Modbus registers are not synchronized with the cyclic data transfer in the H1 segment it is necessary that the PLC writes "oversample" the H1 macrocycle. If, for example, the macrocycle time in the H1 link is one second then it is assumed that the PLC writes fresh output data every 500 milliseconds.
