About FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus
The Softing FG-200 HSE/FF Modbus is a gateway connecting Modbus TCP or FOUNDATION fieldbus High
Speed Ethernet (HSE) to FOUNDATION fieldbus H1 field devices. It provides fast access to process data,
while making use of FOUNDATION Fieldbus advantages such as reduced cabling, central field device
parametrization, comprehensive diagnostics or intrinsically safe device segments. For simple installation it
is compatible with the R. STAHL bus-Carrier Series 9419 and Fieldbus power supplies Series 9412.
2.1 Intended use
The FG-200 can be used for integrating up to four FF H1 links into a Modbus control system 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 not intended. Follow the instructions in this guide on
how to use the FG-200.
