About the Linking Device

The 1788-CN2FFR linking device bridges a ControlNet connection to a single
FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 segment. The segment can support 16 Fieldbus devices. The
High-Speed Ethernet (HSE) layer is not supported.

The H1 segment is split between two hardware ports. Each port can provide 500 mA.

The linking device can support numerous redundant and simple topologies. Power conditioning
is built-in, and therefore, no external power conditioners are required.
