Chapter

Create an RSLogix 5000 Software Project

Introduction

This section describes how to set up a linking device with a Logix5000 controller

by using the RSLogix 5000 software. Examples show the 1757-FFLD linking

device but procedures are similar for the 1757-FFLDC linking device, which

bridges H1 field devices to Logix controllers via the ControlNet network.

Ethernet - 1757-FFLD

Linking Device Example

The 1757-FFLD linking device uses the Ethernet/IP network to connect to an

H1 segment so fieldbus devices can communicate with ControlLogix controllers.

In this illustration, the 1757-FFLD linking device does the following:

• Serves as a bridge between the EtherNet/IP and H1 networks.

• Provides connectivity for Foundation Fieldbus devices to

Logix controllers.
