The application discloses an access device, and relates to the technical field of communication. The device is used for accessing a FF instrument to a high-order
Ethernet system on a field side, and comprises the following: a
physical layer TRUNK interface connected to an APL power switch, which is used for supplying power to the access device and accessing the access device to the high-order
Ethernet system on the field side; a micro
control unit used for realizing conversion and
processing of high-order
Ethernet protocol data and
foundation fieldbus data; an FF interface circuit used for encoding or decoding the
foundation fieldbus data; an FF power
regulator circuit used for acquiring power of the APL power switch through the
physical layer TRUNK interface, modulating the power into power meeting a
foundation fieldbus standard, and supplying power to an FF
network segment protection circuit; and the FF
network segment protection circuit used for being connected to the FF instrument. The application realizes access of the FF instrument to the high-order Ethernet
system, that is, access to an advanced
physical layer of Ethernet, and solves the problem of ecological loss of the advanced physical layer of Ethernet.
