.jpg) March 3, 2010 - Softing announced a communication DTM for its FG-100 FF/HSE High Speed Ethernet Linking Device. The FOUNDATION Fieldbus communications DTM (HSEd) The HSEd provides all necessary functionality to seamlessly integrate Softing’s FG-100 FF/HSE with FDT container applications like fdtCONTAINER, FieldCare, PACTware, and other FDT frame applications. In addition, the HSEd automatically detects devices on H1 networks. The resulting live-list is accompanied with detailed information on all detected devices. Softing’s Linking Device provides transparent access to field devices connected to H1 networks from supervisory control systems and management systems connected via High Speed Ethernet (HSE). The FG-100 FF/HSE is a compact and high-performance gateway between four (4) H1 networks and HSE. For each H1 channel separately, the Linking Device can be configured to take on the role of Link Master or act as a visitor. In addition, Softing’s certified FG-100 H1/HSE complies with Class 42c of the HSE profile specification FF-941 1.3. Thus, the FG-100 H1/HSE eliminates the need to locally configure field devices and a user may perform all configuration settings through HSE.
