FNL - FIELDBUS NETWORK LINK
Fieldbus Network Link: Ethernet / PROFIBUS Gateway
FNL - for an optimum connection of fieldbus and Ethernet networks up to 100 MBit/s.
FNL - for communication transparency in automatic hierarchies, offering access to fieldbus devices from any arbitrary work station via Ethernet, Intranet or Internet.
FNL allows the connection to all PROFIBUS DP networks based on RS485 (up to 12 MBit/s) and IEC-1158-2 for process automation (PA), and supports DP Master class 1 and class 2 on the basis of DP and DPV1 services.
Another highlight: FNL can also be used as network-capable PROFIBUS DP remote bus monitor for RS485 or IEC 1158-2.
On the fieldbus side, the following products are available:
PROFIBUS DP/DPV1 Master class 1 and 2 up to 12 MBit/s
PROFIBUS PA Master on basis IEC 1158-2 (31.25 KBit/s)
FDT 1.2 Communication DTM
The FDT technology is based on Microsoft s COM technology. FDT allows the standardized configuration of fieldbus devices via different bus systems like HART-Bus, Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS DP/PA or Ethernet.
By means of the communication DTM, FNL - in combination with any FDT 1.2-capable container program - can be used for configuration of any PROFIBUS DP Slave.
Container programs are included in many process control systems. They are also available as stand alone solutions, e.g. Pactware of the Pactware Association.
