1788-EN2FFR | Allen-Bradley Redundant EtherNet/IP to Fieldbus Linking Device

Description 

The Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2FFR linking device is a Bulletin 1788 linking device. It can link the Ethernet/IP network and a single segment in a FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 layer. The 1788-EN2FFR Ethernet/IP linking device can connect to a power supply and a ControlLogix controller in an Ethernet network and act as an interface between the ControlLogix controller and H1 media such as junction boxes which are connected to different field devics. It should not be used with a power conditioner device. The 1788-EN2FFR Ethernet/IP linking device connects to the Ethernet network with an RJ45 connector.

Information About 1788-EN2FFR

The Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2FFR linking device is a linking device which acts as a gateway between the Foundation Fieldbus (FF) and the Ethernet networks. It belongs to the Allen-Bradley 1788 linking device series. The 1788-EN2FFR linking device is certified to meet the RCM, KC, CE, and c-Ul-us standards. The input power ratings for the 1788-EN2FFR linking device are 24 to 32 Volts DC and 0.75 Amps. The power supply is a Class 2 / SELV category power supply. The power requirements for the Foundation Fieldbus (FF) network are 0.5 Amps at 24 Volts DC for single-trunk mode and 0.4 Amps at 24 Volts DC for dual-trunk mode. A 2-way phoenix connector is used to connect power to the linking device. The power consumption of the 1788-EN2FFR linking device is 260 milliamps at 24 Volts DC when no field devices are attached to it. The device’s power dissipation is 12.24 Watts at 24 Volts DC. The isolation voltage is 30 Volts (continuous) and has been type-tested at 500 Volts DC for up to 60 seconds.

Category 5 shielded or unshielded wire should be used for making the Ethernet connection on the Allen-Bradley 1788-EN2FFR linking device. For DC power and Foundation Fieldbus network connections, 24 to 18 AWG stranded or solid copper wire rated at 180 degrees Fahrenheit or higher should be used. The protective enclosure of the 1788-EN2FFR linking device is open. The working temperature range for the device is from 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The storage temperature range for the device is also from 32 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. The dimensions of this Allen-Bradley linking device are 152 x 80 x 136 millimeters.
