ControlNet Foundation Fieldbus Linking Device 13 Wiring the Linking Device To wire the linking device, complete the following sections. Wire Requirements The FOUNDATION Fieldbus recommendation for the cable connecting fieldbus devices is Type A, 0.8 mm2 (18 AWG) shielded, twisted-pair wire. It is important to calculate how the planned topology for your fieldbus segment, selected wiring, supplied power, and intended mix of fieldbus devices may impact the overall performance of a fieldbus network.
ControlNet Foundation Fieldbus Linking Device Network Access Port The ControlNet network access port (NAP) provides a temporary connection for programming and troubleshooting purposes to a ControlNet communication card, for example, the 1784-PCIC, 1784-PCICS, 1784-U2CN, and 1784-PCC cards. The 1784-PCC card is not supported by RSFieldbus software, but RSFieldbus software can be used with the 1784-PCIC, 1784-PCICS, and 1784-U2CN cards to configure the 1757-FFLDC and FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices.
ControlNet Foundation Fieldbus Linking Device 15 H1 Terminal Block WARNING ATTENTION IMPORTANT When you connect or disconnect the removable terminal block (RTB) with field side power applied, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before proceeding. Be careful when stripping wires. Wire fragments that fall into the linking device could cause damage.
