CAUTION

Make sure that the sum of power supply voltage and fieldbus supply voltage does not exceed 60 VDC!

The FG-200 does not meet the requirements of impact protection and IP54 (according to IEC 60529). It must be installed in a protective enclosure which meets the requirements for resistance to impact and IP as stated in section 26.4 of IEC/EN 60079-0. This enclosure must be fully mounted and intact. If the enclosure is damaged, the operation is not permitted.

The FG-200 is defined as instruments and apparatus of low energy according to clause 23 of IEC/EN 60079-15; thus the requirement stated in sub-clause C, limiting the transient characteristic to 40% above the rated voltage, has to be adhered to when erecting the equipment.

When removing the packaging ensure that no dirt can enter the enclosure or the plugs. If any vibration during the operation may cause parts of the plugs to loosen, then the plugs have to be

provided with a light firm varnish used for securing screws. An extraction force of 0.5 Nm has to be achieved at an equivalent thread.

To circuits of Zone 2 only such equipment may be connected that is suitable for operation in this zone and has been certified accordingly.

Components may only be replaced by original spare parts which are also approved for the use in Exatmospheres. Spare parts are ordered as complete units giving the material number stated on the device (marking, type label).

Only such auxiliary components may be used in potentially explosive atmospheres which meet all requirements of European and national directives and legislation.

The environmental conditions specified in the manual have to be followed strictly. The FG-200 is not to be used in systems where cathodic systems for corrosion protection are in place.

Although special precautions may allow the use in such systems (additional earthing bridges), the manufacturer has to be consulted in each case.

The operator has to provide measures for protection against lightning. According to the local conditions and in compliance with the environmental rules, the operator is

responsible to visually inspect the system and to remove dust settlements in a regularly interval (every 6 months).

The company installing the device has to ensure that the transient characteristic is limited to 40% above the service voltage.

Additional precautions have to be taken, if the presence of hydrosulfide, ethylene oxide and/or carbon monoxide is to be expected: those substances are of a vary low ignition energy.

Do not power up FG-200s while the serial link is missing

If the two FG-200s forming a redundant set are powered while the serial link is missing, both devices will behave like independent, non-redundant Primary Devices. If they operated in redundant mode before and therefore have identical configuration information, both will use the same H1 node addresses, which will cause problems on the H1 links. The ERR (error) LED will blink. In this case, remove the power, install the serial link and apply the power again.

First powered device operates as primary device

When using a redundant set of two FG-200s, the device which is powered first will operate as primary device. If both devices are powered at the same time, the one with the lower IP address will operate as primary device.

Before removing the power supply from primary device make sure the secondary device is operational

In a redundant set of FG-200s, removing the power supply, the Ethernet cable or the redundancy link interface cable from the primary device causes a redundancy change-over. Before doing so, make sure that the secondary device is operational (and not still booting due to a prior change-over). Otherwise the system breaks down or the configuration information might get lost. Therefore wait at least one minute between such checks.

When using two FG-200s as a redundant set, the redundancy link interfaces (RDL) of both FG-200s (primary and secondary) must be connected by a cable, thus forming a redundancy link. If the redundancy link is not installed during start-up (power-on), the FG-200 will operate in non-redundant mode.

The maximum cable length is 0.5 m according to EMC requirements. The pin assignment is as follows:

Note

The fieldbus shield is not connected directly to functional earth. For EMC reasons, it is only connected via a capacitor. If a direct connection to functional earth or protective earth is required, you need to implement this separately.

2.8 Connecting FF-H1 interfaces

Connect the H1 links to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Since the FG-200 does not provide power to the H1 links, a power supply, a power conditioner and a bus termination is required for each H1 link. When using a redundant set of two FG-200s, make sure to connect each H1 link to the same channel (FF 1 .. FF 4) on both FG-200s.

The FG-200 provides four Foundation Fieldbus H1 interfaces. These interfaces are named CH1 to CH4 and are used to connect an FF-H1 bus to the FG-200.

2.9 Powering up the device

Hint

Refer to Use FG-200 as a redundant set and to Redundancy mode for more information on the redundancy concept.

Turn on the power supply. The boot process takes a few seconds. For indication of proper operation of a FG-200 refer to Status indicators - LEDs.

2.10 Adding a second FG-200 to form a redundant set of FG-200

To form a redundant set of FG-200, add a second device to an already commissioned FG-200 that is operating in the role "Primary, no backup" by following these steps:

Chapter 2 - Hardware installation

1. Set the IP configuration (IP address and subnet mask) of the second FG-200 in a way that it is in the

same IP subnet as the primary device (refer to Settings - Internet Protocol ).

2. Connect the H1 links to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Make sure to connect each H1 link to

the same channel (FF 1 .. FF 4) on both FG-200s.

3. Connect the second FG-200 to the Ethernet switch or hub.

4. Connect both serial ports by means of a redundancy link interface cable.

5. Connect the second FG-200 to a 24 V DC power supply. Use different or redundant power supplies for

redundant FG-200s.

6. After turning on the power supply the boot process takes approx. 50 seconds.

7. The second FG-200 will take over the configuration data from the primary device and will start

operation in the role "secondary". For indication of proper operation as a secondary device refer to

Status indicators - LEDs .

Important Note

If the FG-200 acts as a visitor host, no comConf project must be downloaded into the FG-200 and the field devices.

Working with the FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus

4.1 FG-200 acts as a Modbus / FF-H1 Gateway

Main purpose: PLC with Modbus interface accesses IO parameters of FF-H1 field devices FG-200 supports access to IO parameters of FF-H1 field devices via client/server connections (CLT/SRV

connections) and via publisher/subscriber links (PUB/SUB links). When accessing device IO parameters it is not possible to mix CLT/SRV connections and PUB/SUB links.

For the selection of the communication mode see below.

4.1.1 FG-200 acts as link active scheduler

If FG-200 acts as a link active scheduler , no other FF host system is connected to the H1 segment. For accessing field device parameters CLT/SRV connections as well as PUB/SUB links can be used. PUB/

SUB links are the standard way for accessing IO parameters in FF installations. If you want to use PUB/SUB links, you have to configure them using the configuration tool comConf. For more information see the

Configuration Communication Tool User Guide.

As there is no other FF host system you have to download the function block schedule into the field devices. You can generate the function block schedule and download it to the field devices by means of comConf.

Before you go online with the comConf update your general settings in the FG-200's web interface. Go to Configuration Settings General Settings:

If you have changed your settings click [Change Settings] to apply the new values. For more configuration details, see the Configuration Communication Tool User Guide.

4.1.2 FG-200 acts as visitor host

In this case the FG-200 is connected to an H1 segment that is controlled by another FF host system. The links between the FF field devices and the FF host system are working. The FG-200 is not allowed to disturb the operation by reconfiguring working communication paths.

The FG-200 is just allowed to use CLT/SRV connections for reading contained parameters and function block output parameters. The parameters to be read have to be configured in the Softing Configuration Communication Tool (comConf). See the comConf User Guide for more details.

Parameter settings

Make sure Enable automatic VCR Creation is activated.

Activate or deactivate Link Master Functionality depending on the following presumptions:

For this scenario we recommend configuring the Node Address within the range from 252 to 255 for

the FG-200. If you want prevent the FG-200 to take an active role in the H1 segments, deactivate Link

Master Functionality. Usually this is not required if the H1 bus parameters used in the control system

are not too slow.

If Link Master Functionality is activated make sure that all activated H1 links of the FG-200 are

connected to H1 segments with an active host system interface. Otherwise the FG-200 would wait for

a 6 minute period for activity on the H1 segments and would then disable the segments without

activity i.e. the segments without an active host interface.

4.1.3 Configuring the Modbus mapping table

The FG-200 supports the mapping of a set of function block parameters to Modbus registers. The set of available parameters depends on the type of communication (PUB/SUB links or CLT/SRV connections) used for transferring IO data.

The FG-200 selects PUB/SUB links or CLT/SRV connections depending on the downloaded comConf project.

Perform mapping on the web server application

Prerequisite: You have downloaded the comConf project.

1. Open the web browser and login.

2. Go to Configuration Fieldbus Blocks and click [Reload Live List].

3. Select Configuration Fieldbus Devices.

4. Load the .csv file with the Modbus mapping. Select Configuration Modbus Mapping Import/Export.

Click [Import] and load the file generated by comConf.

Mapped values are now accessible in the configured Modbus registers and can be accessed by a Modbus control.

4.2 FG-200 acts as a FF-HSE/ FF-H1 gateway

4.2.1 FG-200 acts as an H1 interface used by Emerson AMS System

Emerson provides its AMS Device Manager for calibration, diagnostics and device configuration for various fieldbus technologies. Using the FG-200 enables AMS Device Manager to access FF-H1 devices. As a precondition it is necessary to enable FF-HSE interface in the AMS Device Manager and integrate the FF device descriptions of the FG-200 (CFH-File) and the H1 Devices that have to be accessed.

In order to use the FG-200 the following general settings have to be done via the webserver interface:

Make sure Enable automatic VCR Creation is activated. Otherwise no access to H1 device parameters would be necessary.

Additional settings depend on the user scenario:

Offline access (Standalone network FG-200 and H1 devices)

In this scenario the FG-200 would be the primary host device and Link Master Functionality is activated. In addition we recommend disabling the Visitor Mode and setting Node Address to 16 or 17. Make sure all required H1 Links are activated i.e. a Link ID >= 0x1000 is assigned for those links.

Access in field (H1 devices are used as part of a control system)

For this scenario we recommend configuring the Node Address within the range from 252 to 255 for the FG-200. If you want prevent the FG-200 to take an active role in the H1 segments, deactivate Link Master Functionality. Usually this is not required if the H1 bus parameters used in the control system are not too slow.

If Link Master Functionality is activated make sure that all activated H1 links of the FG-200 are connected to H1 segments with an active host system interface. Otherwise the FG-200 would wait for a 6 minute period for activity on the H1 segments and would then disable the segments without activity i.e. the segments without an active host interface.
