To assist with troubleshooting, a 128 x 128 pixel display


provides access to linking device status including network
voltages and currents, internal temperature, as well as
communication quality to each device, and the status of
each device. A built-in webserver also provides remote
access to network and field device data.

The 1788- EN2FFR and 1788-CN2FFR support as many as


16 field devices on a single H1 segment. The linking
devices have full FOUNDATION Fieldbus Host capability
including Link Active Scheduler (LAS) capability. A
predefined data structure for each field device provides
eight input Process Variables (PVs), eight output PVs, and
eight PVs for inter device communication for full
distributed control.

Built-in power conditioners and protection are provided,


helping to minimize installation space requirements. The
H1 segment is divided between two physical ports with
individual protection and a supply of 500mA per port.
These panel or DIN rail mountable devices also support
built-in configurable line termination.

Multiple levels of device and media redundancy are


supported including: ring, split, and redundant trunk.
