Required Hardware for
Installation Example
❏ One 1788-CN2FF, ControlNet to Fieldbus Linking Device
❏ One 24 Power Supply for the CN2FF, such as 1794-PS1
1794-PS1 is a good power supply for use with the CN2FF, and
is OK to use for a small demo with one or two Fieldbus
devices, but it is too noisy for a real control application.
❏ FF convenience Relcom Connector Blocks.
Connector block should include built in power conditioner
and two Fieldbus terminators.
❏ One Personal Computer, 233 MHz or faster, 128 Meg Memory
❏ With Windows – NT, Service Pack 3 or later.
You must use Windows NT/2000. The 1788-FFCT software is not
compatible with Windows 95/98.
❏ High Resolution Monitor, 1200 x 1024 recommended.
Use at least 1024 x 800. The Fieldbus Configurator is much
easier to use with a high resolution monitor. If you use a 640 X
480 screen, you will be unable to find some of the items on
the toolbars.
❏ 1784-PCIC, 1784-KTCX15 or 1784-PCC card, for direct
connection to ControlNet.
❏ PLC-5, or CLX, or PLX, or SLC with a ControlNet Interface.

1784-PCC or a 1784-PCIC and one or more 1788-CN2FF’s
❏ One or more Registered Fieldbus devices.
1788-FFCT software requires that the Fieldbus devices be
on-line. Off-line configuration will be supported later.
