 Splitters/terminators for time strobe and A/B

Fieldbus

 DIP switch for identification of certain Modular

Baseplates

 Backwards compatibility with existing DIN I/O

subsystems allowing for future expansion without

additional interface hardware

 Adding additional Modular Baseplates without

removing the system from service (requires

redundant bus)

 Keyed positions dedicated to FCP270 or

FCM/FBM only

 Passive backplane to increase system reliability.

MODULAR BASEPLATE MOUNTING

Most Modular Baseplates are available in two basic

mounting configurations — horizontal DIN rail mount

(see Figure 1) or vertical DIN rail mount (see Figure 2).

Either of these mounting configurations can be

employed internal to an enclosure, external to an

enclosure, or mounted on a secure DIN rail.
