About FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus
The Softing FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus is a gateway connecting Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP or
FOUNDATION fieldbus High Speed Ethernet (HSE) to FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 field devices.
It provides fast access to process data, while maki ng use of FOUNDATION Fieldbus
adva ntages s uch as reduced cabli ng, central field device parametrization, comprehensive
diagnos tics or intrinsicall y safe device segments. For s imple installation it is compatible
with the R. STAHL bus-Carrier Series 9419 and Fi eldbus power suppli es Seri es 9412.
2.1Intended use
The FG-200 ca n be used for integrating up to four FF H1 links into a Modbus control system
(TCP or RTU) or for communication between FF H1 devices and FF HSE network. The gateway
can be operated in both hazardous and non-hazardous areas. Any other use is notintended. Follow the instructions in this guide on how to use the FG-200.
2.2Scope of delivery
The delivery of this gateway includes the foll owing parts:
FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus device
CD including ComConf, PACTware firmware and manuals
Quick Startup Guide
IP a ddress label
PC with operating system Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 (both 32 bi t or 64 bit supported)
Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8.0 or higher, Mozil la Fi refox version
versi on 35 or higher)
2.4Safety precautions
Use in hazardous areas
The FG-200 is an electrical equipment with degree of protection Ex nA, approved for use in
Zone 2 hazardous areas or i n the safe area. The four FF-H1 interfaces are designed
according to the protection method Ex ic. Onl y certified circuits with an accordi ng
protection method shall be connected to these FF-H1 interfaces.
Before setting the FG-200 i nto operation, the corresponding field has to be
maked (e.g. if the device is used in an IC environment, mark the upper field on
the type label).
Use an appropri ate permanent pen for si gning, e.g. an etching pen.
More than one marking is not allowed. If you need a second marking, you must
replace the exis ting equipment with a new one.
An equipment which has been operated under non-intri nsical ly safe
condi tions i s no longer permitted to be used under intrinsi cally safe
condi tions.
CAUTION
During operation, the device's surface wil l be heated up. Avoid di rect contact.
When servicing, turn off the power supply and wai t until surface has cooled
down.
Note
Do not open the housing of the FG-200. It does not contain any parts that need
to be maintained or repaired. In the event of a fault or defect, remove the device
and return it to the vendor. Opening the device wil l void the warranty!
Special hints for safe use
The FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus is only approved for intended and appropriate use. In ca se of
noncompliance, the warranty and manufacturer’s l iabi lity do no longer apply!
With an ambient temperature above 55 °C at the place of installation it is l ikely
that the temperatures of connecting cables wil l increase if the cables are
install ed in an unfavourable position. In such cases, measure the temperature
to ensure that the service temperature of the cables i s not exceeded (i.e. 80 °C),
or use cables sustaining high temperatures of at least 90 °C.
Note
Make sure the FG-200 is mounted in a manner that the power supply
disconnecting device or interrupt faci lity can always be reached easil y.
Note
Depending on the installation pos ition, the maxi mum ambient operating
temperature may differ. Refer to Technical Datafor detai led information.
Installation and inspection
Instal lation and inspection must be carried out by quali fied personnel only
(personnel qual ified accordi ng to the German standard TRBS 1203 or similar
(Technical Regulations for Operational Safety). The defini tion of terms can be
found in IEC 60079-17.
The Functional Earth (FE) connection of the device has to be connected at low
inductance with the Protective Earth (PE) of the system.
Note
As indicated in the connection diagram, the power can be appl ied alternatively
by a speci al DIN rail connector (Rail Power Suppl y). For further information
contact Softing Industri al Automation.
3.1.3 Connecting the power supply
1.Connect the FG-200 to a 24 V DC power supply.
2.Use different or redundant power supplies for redundant FG-200s.
3.Turn on the power supply. The boot process takes approx. 50 seconds. For indica tion
of proper operation of a FG-200 acting in non-redundant mode or as pri mary device
in redundant mode refer to Status i ndicators - LEDs.
The suppl y voltage (18 VDC .... 32 VDC) is connected by a 3-pole terminal block. The power
supply is connected to the plug connector vi a flexi ble wires with a cross s ection of 0.75 to
1.5 mm². The ground connection wire must have a cross section of 1.5 mm².
If you are working with two FG-200 in redundant mode, the seri al connection
cannot be used (s ee next Section).
Note
As the interface is not galvanicall y isolated make sure that there is no potential
difference between the two connected devices.
3.1.5 Modbus serial connection
When connecting the FG-200 via s erial connection (RTU) use the connector from your
delivery with the following pin ass ignment:
3.1.6 FG-200 redundancy
If you intend to use two FG-200s as a redundant set, connect the redundancy link
interfaces (RDL) of both FG-200s (primary and secondary) by a cable before you power up
the devices. If the redundancy l ink is not installed before start-up, the FG-200 wil l operate
in non-redundant mode.
The receive (RX) and transmit (TX) signals must be cross-l inked.
The maximum cabl e length is 0.5 m according to EMC requirements. The pin as signment is :
Do not power up devices when serial link is missing
If the two FG-200 s forming a redundant set are powered while the serial link is missing,
both devices will behave like independent, non-redundant Pri mary Devices. If they
operated in redundant mode before and therefore have identical configuration
information, both will use the same H1 node address es, which will cause problems on the
H1 links. The ERR (error) LED will blink. In thi s case, remove the power, install the serial
li nk and apply the power again.
When using a redundant set of two FG-200 s , 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.
Removing the power supply
Before you remove the power supply from the primary device make sure the secondary
device is operational . In a redundant set of FG-200s, removing the power suppl y, the
Ethernet cable or the redundancy l ink interface cabl e from the primary device caus es 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 i nformation might get lost. Therefore wait at least one minute
between such checks .
Connect the H1 li nks to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Since the FG-200 does not
provi de power to the H1 links, a power condi tioner and a bus termination is required for
each H1 link. When using a redundant set of two devices, make sure to connect each H1
li nk to the same channel (CH 1 .. CH 4) on both FG-200s.
The FG-200 provides four Founda tion Fieldbus H1 i nterfaces. These interfaces are named
CH1 to CH4 and are used to connect an FF-H1 bus to the FG-200.
The fieldbus shield is not connected directly to functiona l earth. For EMC
reasons, it is onl y connected via a capacitor. If a direct connection to
functional earth or protective earth is required, you need to implement this
separately.
Refer to Section FG-200 redundancy for more information on the
redundancy concept.
3.1.8 Powering up the device
Turn on the power supply. The boot process takes a few seconds. For indication of proper
operation of a FG-200 refer to Status indica tors - LEDs.
26
3.1.9 Adding a second FG-200 for redundancy
For adding a second FG-200 to an already commiss ioned FG-200 that is operating in the
role "Primary, no backup", the foll owing steps are required:
1.Set the IP configuration (IP address and subnet mask) of the second FG-200 usi ng the
same IP subnet as the primary device (see Configuring the IP address).
2.Connect the H1 li nks to the terminal blocks of the H1 interfaces. Make sure to connect
each H1 link to the same channel (CH 1 .. CH 4) on both FG-200s.
3.Connect the second FG-200 to the Ethernet switch or hub.
4.Connect both RDL interfaces as mentioned in Section FG-200 redundancy.
5.Connect the second FG-200 to a 24 V DC power supply. Use different or redunda nt
power supplies for redundant FG-200s .
6.After turni ng 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 more detail s about proper operation
as a secondary device see also the Status indicators - LEDs.
