ControlNet-to-F
Linking Device
Catalog No. 1788-CN2FF
The ControlNet-to-Fieldbus linking device connects a ControlNet™
network with one or more F
Each H1 network consists of multiple Fieldbus devices. Each field device
has one or more function blocks. Each function block performs an
elementary control function such as analog input, analog output, discrete
input, or discrete output. The ControlNet network consists of controllers,
such as PLC® processors, HMIs, drives, I/O devices, and so on.
The linking device has two broad functions, supporting the following:
• closed-loop control
• configuration and monitoring
Refer to the ControlNet-to-F
Manual, publication 1788-6.5.1, for detailed information about these
functions.
Use this document as a guide when you install the ControlNet-to-Fieldbus
linking device.
