About the Linking Device
The 1788-EN2FFR linking device bridges an EtherNet/IP 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.

• An H1 network using IEC 61158-2 cable color coding
Configuration
Complete the following instructions to configure the 1788-EN2FFR linking device.
Configure the Ethernet Address
The module has BOOTP enabled when
shipped. You can set an address via a
BOOTP server or set the hardware
switches to a specific IP address. See Use
BOOTP to Set the IP Address on page
4, or Use Switches to Set the IP Address

Use BOOTP to Set the IP Address
1. Set the Ethernet switches to 888 (factory default).
2. Apply power to the linking device.
3. Set the IP address by using any BOOTP server.
4. Once the new IP address has been set, power down the linking device.
5. Return the switches to 000.
6. Apply power to the linking device.
Use Switches to Set the IP Address
To set the IP address of the linking device to the 192.168.1.xxx sub net, set the switches to the
required last three digits.
Add a 1788-EN2FFR Module in RSLogix 5000 Software
The module must be added to the RSLogix 5000 I/O tree by selecting the 1788-EN2FFR
module (under a Rockwell Automation Ethernet bridge, for example EN2T).
1. Right-click the Ethernet bridge and choose New Module.
2. Expand the Hiprom Technologies option and select 1788-EN2FFR.
The Module Properties dialog box appears.
3. Type the module's Name, Description, IP Address, and RPI.
4. Click OK.
