Foxboro FBM202 P0926EQ Thermocouple/mV Input Module

The FDSI configurator sets up the FBM232 XMLbased port and device

configuration files.

The port configurator allows for easy setup of thecommunication parameters

for each port (such as, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP),

IPaddresses).

The device configurator is not needed forall devices, but when needed it

configures device specific and point specific considerations (such as, scan

rate, address of the data to be transferred, and the amount of data to be

transferred in one transaction).

This FBM is a generic Ethernet hardware module inwhich different software

drivers can be loaded. These drivers configure the FBM to recognize a

particular protocol used by the device. Several of the software drivers are

standard product offerings.

Other custom drivers can be developed to meet specific needs.

These drivers are dynamically downloaded to the FBM232 with software

code specifically designed to interface with the third party device’s protocol.

The configuration procedures and the software requirements for each driver

are unique to the device(s) being integrated into the system.

ETHERNET LINK SETUP

Data communication between the FBM232 and field devices are through

the RJ-45 connectorlocated on the front of the FBM232 module.

The RJ-45 connector of the FBM232 can be connected through

hubs, or through Ethernet switches to the field devices (refer to “ETHERNET

HUBS AND SWITCHES” on page 8). Connection of multiple devices to the

FBM232 requires a hub or switch.

The DIN rail mounted Fieldbus Module baseplate

provides a convenient, secure facility for the mounting

of DIN rail mounted Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) and

Fieldbus Communications Modules (FCMs). Its eight

mounting positions can accommodate up to eight

FBMs or a combination of FBMs and FCMs.The

baseplate also provides the necessary connectors for

redundant power, redundant module Fieldbus, and

termination cables.
