Scheduling and the LAS
The 1788-CN2FFR/1788-EN2FFR linking device generates the LAS schedule,
which determines when each function block executes and transmits data. Newly
added field devices are automatically added to the schedule, and removed from
the schedule when removed from the live list.
Figure 7 - Master Configuration Dialog Box
The Download Schedule function is only needed when the 1788-CN2FFR/
1788-EN2FFR linking device has been replaced.
Redundant Master Setup
You can configure a second 1788-CN2FFR/1788-EN2FFR linking device to act
as a backup. You can choose from various architectures (see Appendix D
). The
figure shows an example of MultiMaster architecture, A bus only, with a shared
termination.
When connecting to running linking devices, you must follow the procedures
in MultiMaster Connecting Procedures
on page 46 to avoid losing the
connection to certain devices.
You must not have any other back-up LAS devices. Be sure that the field devices
have been configured with the class set to basic. See Field Device Class
on
page 42.
Test and verify that the specific field devices that are connected to the
MultiMaster operate correctly when one of the linking devices fails.
