FOXBORO Standard 200 Series Baseplates Display control instrument

DESCRIPTION

The Standard 200 Series baseplates provide the mounting platform and communication backplane for DIN rail mounted 200 Series modules.

These standard 200 Series baseplates support distributed control for both small and large systems and specifically support 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 Communications Modules (FCM100Et and FCM100E) and other FCMs 

 Fieldbus Expansion Modules (FEM100E) 

 Fieldbus Isolator/Filter Modules (FBI200/FBI100) 

 Standard Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) and 100 Series FBMs connection.

FEATURES

Key features of the 200 Series baseplates are:

 For FBM-supporting baseplates: 

• 2, 4, and 8 module positions in combination with vertical and horizontal mounting 

• Field connection for I/O termination assemblies, redundant adapters and module identifiers for each module 

• DIP switch for identification of certain Modular Baseplates 

• Adding additional 200 Series baseplates without removing the system from service (requires redundant bus) 

 For FCP280/FCP270, FDC280, and FCM100Et baseplates support: 

• Connection for optional GPS time strobe. All non-FDC280 modules require splitters/terminators for time strobe connections. FDC280 baseplates support direct connection.  All baseplates except the FDC280 baseplate (RH101KF) support: 

• Connection to the 2 Mbps Module Fieldbus for the Standard Fieldbus Modules, or to a 268 Kbps Fieldbus for the 100 Series FBMs 

• Splitters/terminators for A/B Fieldbus 

• Backwards compatibility with existing I/O subsystems allowing for future expansion without additional interface hardware 

 Primary and secondary 24 V dc power and communications connections 

 Keyed positions dedicated to individual CP-type modules such as the FCP280, FDC280, or FCM/FBM only, depending on the baseplate type 

 Passive backplane to increase system reliability.

200 SERIES BASEPLATE MOUNTING 

Most 200 Series baseplates are available in three basic mounting configurations — horizontal DIN rail mount (see Figure 1), vertical DIN rail mount (see Figure 2), or either horizontal or vertical DIN rail mount provided the baseplate itself remains in the horizontal orientation (see Figure 3). Either of these mounting configurations can be employed internal to an enclosure, external to an enclosure, or mounted on a secure DIN rail.

2-Position 200 Series Baseplates 

The following 2-position 200 Series baseplates support: 

 a non-fault-tolerant (single module) or fault-tolerant pair of FCP280s (horizontal and vertical) 

 a non-fault-tolerant (single module) or fault-tolerant pair of FDC280s (vertical) 

 a non-fault-tolerant (single module) or fault-tolerant pair of FCP270s (horizontal and vertical) 

 a single module or redundant pair (two identical single modules) of FCMs, or up to two FBMs (horizontal and vertical) 

 a single module or redundant pair of FEM100s 

 a single module or redundant pair of FBI200s 

 a single module or redundant pair of FBI100s.

4-Position Modular Baseplates 

Seven different 4-position Modular Baseplates support: 

 a fault-tolerant pair of FCP270s in two positions and the remaining two positions mount FEM100s 

 a fault-tolerant pair of FCP270s in two positions and the remaining two positions mount FBMs 

 a single FCP270 in one position and the remaining three (non-fault tolerant) positions mount FBMs 

 4 FBMs or 2 FCMs and 2 FBMs.
