Foxboro P0800DG Standard Communication Protocol Module

Easy removal/replacement

The modules are mounted on DIN rail-mounted or rack-mounted Compact 200 series base plates.

Signal connectors for redundant fieldbus, redundant independent DC power supply and termination cables are included.

Two screws on the FBM secure the module to the Compact 200 series base plate.

When removing/replacing the module, there is no need to remove the field device termination cables,

power supply or communication cables.

The FBM-enabled 200 Series standard baseplate enables total system mounting capability

by providing unit increments of 2. 4. and 8 FBM positions, as well as vertical and horizontal mounting.

The compact FBM242 module is designed to be narrower than the standard 200 series FBM.

It has a rugged acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) enclosure that provides physical protection for the circuitry.

The enclosure, designed for mounting the FBM, provides various levels of environmental

protection up to harsh environments (Class G3) according to ISA Standard S71.04.

Visual indicators

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front of the module provide a visual indication

of the module’s operating status and the discrete status of each output point.

Features

Key features of the 200 Series Base Plate are listed below:

 for FBM-enabled baseplates:

– 2. 4. and 8 module positions combined with vertical and horizontal mounting

– Field connectable I/O termination assemblies, redundant adapters, and modules

Identifiers for each module

– DIP switches for identification of specific module backplanes

– Additional 200 series baseboards can be added without removing the

system from service (redundant bus required)

 supports FCP280/FCP270. FDC280. and FCM100Et baseboards:

– Connection for optional GPS time strobe.

All non-FDC280 module time strobe connections require a splitter/splitter.

direct connections are supported on the FDC280 baseboard.

 All baseboards are supported except the FDC280 baseboard (RH101KF):

– Connection to 2 Mbps modular fieldbus for standard fieldbus modules or 268 Kbps fieldbus for 100 series FBMs

– Splitter/terminal modules for A/B fieldbuses

– Backwards compatible with existing I/O subsystems, allowing for future expansion

No additional interface hardware required

 Primary and secondary 24 VDC power supplies and communication connections

 Dedicated keying position for individual CP-type modules (e.g. FCP280. FDC280 or FCM/FBM),

depending on the substrate type

 Passive backplane for increased system reliability.
