    Introduction SIMATIC PCS 7 provides the option of integrating field devices on FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 (hereafter referred to simply as FF). FF devices are generally connected to a SIMATIC station via a bus link on PROFIBUS DP (e.g. FF Link). Bus links are gateways between bus systems and enable the communication connection of the bus systems.
