⚙️ Functional Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Module Support | Supports a single FCM100E or a redundant pair of FCM100E modules |
| Mounting Positions | 2 positions, designed for FCM100E (redundant pair must occupy adjacent odd/even positions) |
| Baseplate ID | Hardwired address as baseplate 0 (no baseplate identification DIP switch) |
| Fieldbus Support | - Connects to 2 Mbps Module Fieldbus for 200 Series FBMs - Supports 268 Kbps Fieldbus for 100 Series FBMs via P0926LC splitter/terminator |
| Power Connections | Primary and secondary 24 V DC power connectors for redundant power supplies |
| Fieldbus Interconnection | Supports A/B Module Fieldbus via shielded twisted-pair cables; compatible with splitters/terminators (e.g., P0916RB, P0926KW, P0926KZ, P0926LC) |
| Fieldbus Length | - 2 Mbps (200 Series FBMs): Up to 60 m (198 ft) total - 268 Kbps (100 Series FBMs): Up to 1830 m (6000 ft) with FCM100E |
| Expansion Capability | Can be added to existing or new baseplate groupings for system upgrades without service interruption (requires redundant A/B buses) |
| Communication Topology | Supports redundant 2 Mbps HDLC serial bus for baseplate-to-baseplate communication |
| Letterbug Configuration | FCM100E uses soft letterbug (configured via I/A Series Letterbug Configurator), not DIP switch |
📏 Physical Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
