Manual for Configuration, Installation and Maintenance

Linking Device FG-110 FF - Internal Web Server

1.) Enable VCR Creation

If this feature is “on” then the Linking Device establishes the VCR connection by them self. Please read in the software manual if it is necessary or not.

Some examples

Softing Configuration Tool (FF-CONF) --> On

	Emerson AMS™ Software	--> On
	NI-FBUS Configuration Tool	--> Off
i	Please note that the feature “Automatic VCR creation has to be enabled when the
	tool FF_CONF is to be used for the Foundation fieldbus configuration

2.) Enable Plug&Play

This feature makes sure that pre-configured device can be used without a configuration tool.

3.) Display Blocks

This feature enables or disables the point page functionality. The use of the point page creates a lot of traffic of the FF-H1 network. If you don’t use this Monitor feature then you can save more H1 bandwidth and faster reaction time over Modbus.

4.) Enable HSE Alarms

The Linking Device is able to use the already configured alarm VCR’s in the FF-H1 devices or can established new one.

5.) Link Master Functionality

In case of visitor mode it can make sense to disable the Link Master functionality. If no Link Master is available then a time-out will follow after 6 sec.

6.) Visitor Mode

When the Linking Device is in visitor mode it can be connected to a running FF-H1 network with the FF-Host system without affecting the established communication.

7.) Enable Modbus

This button enables or disables Modbus TCP and RTU.

8.) Enable Modbus RTU

Modbus RTU runs over the same serial interface (RS232) which is necessary to establish an application with HSE device redundancy. To use redundancy together with Modbus TCP the feature “Modbus RTU” has to be disabled.
