The FF Link supports module redundancy when in EtherNet/IP target mode, allowing two FF Link masters to be connected to the same H1 segment in a one-active-one-standby strategy.
Configuration is achieved using Aparian's free-downloadable Slate configuration environment. Slate generates H1 device specific UDTs and mapping code which can be imported into Studio 5000, allowing even complex systems to be configured in minutes.
