Foxboro FBM205 Input Interface Module

Standard 200 Series Base Plates

The Standard 200 Series Base Plate provides a mounting platform and communications

backplane for DIN rail mounted 200 Series modules.

Overview

These Standard 200 Series Baseboards support distributed control of small and large systems,

specifically the following Foxboro Evo™ System Modules:

 Field Control Processor 280 (FCP280) Fault Tolerant or Non-Fault Tolerant

 Field Device Controller 280 (FDC280) Fault tolerant or non-fault tolerant

 Field Control Processor 270 (FCP270) Fault tolerant or non-fault tolerant

 Field Communication Modules (FCM100Et and FCM100E) and other FCMs

 Fieldbus Expansion Module (FEM100E)

 Fieldbus Isolator/Filter Modules (FBI200/FBI100)

 Standard Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) and 100 Series FBM connections.

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.

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
