Softing Industrial announced the release of version V1.21 of the FG-200 gateway. With optimized hardware and firmware features, the gateway sets new standards for the reliable connection of FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 (FF H1) field devices to Ethernet- based control and asset management systems. The FG-200, a proven gateway for integrating FF H1 field devices, is specifically designed for process automation. It allows up to four FF H1 segments to be connected to small- to medium-sized control systems via Modbus TCP or FF HSE. In addition, it provides advanced asset management functionality that enables parallel use of tools such as Emerson AMS Device Manager and FDT-based applications. The new version offers revised hardware to enhance reliable communication even in environments prone to interference. Several issues from the previous firmware version have been resolved to further increase reliability and user-friendliness.
Ongoing development for long-term usability
The FG-200 is the only gateway of its kind to provide an additional asset management interface for FF H1 field devices with its visitor host support. Besides control system integration, FG 200 allows simultaneous access to FF H1 field devices via asset management tools without interfering with existing control solutions. Ongoing development by Softing Industrial ensures long-term usability and compatibility with modern applications. The FG-200 is the ideal solution for system integrators and plant operators in process automation, particularly in the oil and gas industry. It supports the optimization of existing systems and facilitates the implementation of modern asset management applications.
