Device redundancy

• The FG-200 provides device redundancy (D-3 according to FF-593) for avoiding the cost of downtime that can be substantial and may quickly run into the millions for a large plant in the process industry.

Number of FF-H1 segments

• Integrate up to four FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus (FF) H1 links with up to 16 field devices into control systems supporting Modbus TCP.

Certified for explosive areas

• Suitable for use in hazardous areas (cULus: Class 1, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D, IECEx: Ex nA [ic] IIC T4 Gc, ATEX: II 3G nA [ic] IIC T4 Gc) as it offers intrinsically safe device segments.

Asset Management via FDT/DTM

• Support of Field Device Tool (FDT) frame applications for central field device parameterization, comprehensive diagnostics or Asset Management of FF-H1 field devices.
