Important User Information
Solid state equipment has operational characteristics differing from those of
electromechanical equipment. Safety Guidelines for the Application, Installation and
Maintenance of Solid State Controls (Publication SGI-1.1 available from your local
Rockwell Automation sales office or online at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/literature) describes some important
differences between solid state equipment and hard-wired electromechanical devices.
Because of this difference, and also because of the wide variety of uses for solid state
equipment, all persons responsible for applying this equipment must satisfy
themselves that each intended application of this equipment is acceptable.
In no event will Rockwell Automation, Inc. be responsible or liable for indirect or
consequential damages resulting from the use or application of this equipment.
The examples and diagrams in this manual are included solely for illustrative purposes.
Because of the many variables and requirements associated with any particular
installation, Rockwell Automation, Inc. cannot assume responsibility or liability for
actual use based on the examples and diagrams.
No patent liability is assumed by Rockwell Automation, Inc. with respect to use of
information, circuits, equipment, or software described in this manual.
Reproduction of the contents of this manual, in whole or in part, without written
permission of Rockwell Automation, Inc., is prohibited.
Throughout this manual, when necessary, we use notes to make you aware of safety
considerations.
WARNING Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can
cause an explosion in a hazardous environment, which may lead
to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic loss.
IMPORTANT Identifies information that is critical for successful application
and understanding of the product.
ATTENTION Identifies information about practices or circumstances that can
lead to personal injury or death, property damage, or economic
loss. Attentions help you identify a hazard, avoid a hazard, and
recognize the consequence
SHOCK HAZARD Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example,
drive or motor) to alert people that dangerous voltage may be
present.
BURN HAZARD Labels may be located on or inside the equipment (for example,
drive or motor) to alert people that surfaces may be dangerous
temperatures.

Preface
Introduction
This publication provides information needed to use the 1757-FFLD,
FOUNDATION Fieldbus Linking Device. The linking device serves as a link
between Fieldbus Foundation’s High Speed Ethernet (HSE) and H1 segments.
It also serves as a link between EtherNet/IP and H1 segments. The linking
device provides connectivity for FOUNDATION Fieldbus devices to Logix
controllers, such as ControlLogix, CompactLogix, and FlexLogix.
This publication defines the Foundation Fieldbus function blocks and
function block parameters that reside in the linking device.
This publication also provides user information about the linking device’s Web
pages. The Web pages provide status and diagnostic information about the
linking device. The information found on these pages assists with configuring
and maintaining a FOUNDATION Fieldbus system.
For information on configuring and programming a linking device in a system
with Logix controllers, see the RSFieldbus Application Guide, publication
RSFBUS-AT001.

1-2 Use RSLogix 5000 Software to Create a Linking Device
Create a Project for the
Controller
To configure and program a Logix5000 controller, use RSLogix 5000 software
to create and manage a project for the controller.
Project – The file on your workstation (or server) that
stores the logic, configuration, data, and documentation
for a controller.
•The file for the project has an .ACD extension.
•When you create a project, the project name is
the same as the name of the controller.
•The controller name is independent of the project
name. You can rename either the project name or
the controller name.
Name of the Project
If you rename the project or controller, both names are
shown.
Name of the Controller
Controller organizer – graphical overview of the
project. Use the controller organizer to navigate to the
various components of a project.
To open a folder and show its contents, either:
•Double-click the folder.
