Product Description
3.3 KT-MB-GT2AD.FF - Diagnostic Gateway, Kit with Motherboard
General Overview
The FieldConnex
(ADM) and provides interfaces to access the data from the diagnostic manager and PCS.
• Ethernet
Allows access to the ADMs for the diagnostic manager and the FDS/OPC server. It is
mainly used for the FDS/OPC integration, but can also be used with the FOUNDATION
Fieldbus H1 interface to enhance the functionality of the diagnostic manager and to
access the FOUNDATION Fieldbus device locally using a mobile computer.
•
FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1
Provides the core diagnostic data of up to 16 HD2-DM-A ADMs as FOUNDATION Field-
bus H1 device. The Ethernet interface can be used in addition to the FF-H1 interface to
enhance the functionality of the diagnostic manager and to access the FOUNDATION
Fieldbus device locally using a mobile computer.
• Common alarm output
The common alarm output can be used to report the ADM alarms as a volt-free contact to
a PCS input.
The gateway is seamlessly integrated into the FieldConnex
and provides many features for a fast and easy installation and setup of the advanced diagnos-
tics.
Note
The diagnostic gateway FF-H1 connection must never be connected to device couplers like the
Pepperl+Fuchs Segment Protectors or FieldBarriers.
The diagnostic gateway must be connected directly to the trunk.
For best performance, we recommend using a separate FF-H1 diagnostic segment for
diagnostic gateways. Scheduled FB data must be kept to a minimum for this segment.
