RSFieldbus Communication
Introduction
This section describes how to set up an RSFieldbus project to communicate with
field devices. A project must be created and a bridge module (linking device)
must be in the configuration.
The linking device, such as the 1757-FFLD shown in Figure 6, provides
connectivity for fieldbus devices to Logix controllers via H1 networks.
