The ABB FF Linking Device LD 800HSE serves as a gateway between FF’s High Speed Ethernet (HSE) and H1 devices.
LD 800HSE enables the access to field devices connected to the FOUNDATION Fieldbus (FF) from supervisory and control systems as well as management consoles. The device is qualified for redundant use, where the corresponding H1-ports of two Linking Devices are connected to one H1 link. A separate redundancy link between primary and secondary Linking Devices ensures reliable failover and monitoring of redundancy.
