- Links ControlNet with one or two FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 networks
- Supports closed-loop control and field-device configuration
- Provides redundant ControlNet media interfaces
1788-CN2FF translates scheduled controller data into the H1 function-block exchanges used by field instruments.
Two independent fieldbus channels let separate H1 segments share one ControlNet-side linking device while retaining their own segment wiring and commissioning records.
Its reset-switch behavior is operationally important because leaving the switches in the factory position can erase configuration after power interruption.
Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for 1788-CN2FF are confirmed during quotation.
