Research and Implementation of the EPA and FF Hl Protocol Gateway

Aiming at the interoperability between different field bus devices, a gateway model to achieve the conversion of EPA (Ethernet for plant automation) and FF (foundation fieldbus) H1 protocols is proposed through the analysis of EPA and FF H 1 communication model, and implementation method and hardware configuration of this gateway are introduced. Finally, the performance of gateway is analyzed based on experiment data, and the results show that the designed gateway has a good performance.
