Hello Rajkiran; To my knowledge, it is possible to use FF H1 with S7-400H CPUs, but only as part of PCS 7 environment, It wll not work with Step 7/WnCC. In a PCS 7 evironment, you can use the Compact FF Link (IM 655‑5 FF) as a Profibus-DP extension for FF: https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/109810882/84213361419 "- Configuring the bus link Configuring includes the configuration and parameter assignment of the bus link, the FOUNDATION Fieldbus, and the FF devices on the FF segment. To do this, you can use PCS 7 (STEP 7) and SIMATIC PDM. - Commissioning the bus link Configure the bus link. For this, select the IM 655‑5 FF module in the PROFIBUS DP > FF Link folder of the hardware catalog. Set the PROFIBUS address of the Compact FF Link(s)...." Additionally, this entry from Poroduct support provides a segment calculator for FF in PCS 7, and an application example for FF in a PCS 7 environment. - Calculation and Design of Fieldbus Segments with the SIMATIC Fieldbus Calculator https://support.industry.siemens.com/cs/ww/en/view/53842953 As far as the S7-1500H is concerned, I can find no entries suggestng tht Siemens has implemented FF as part of their fieldbus capabilities. Maybe smeone here will have more information on the subject. Hope this helps, Daniel Chartier |
