COMM15  + FDSI (Modbus, Profibus, OPC, Data Highway +) S61 The Foreign Device Systems Integrator (FDSI) allows a wide range of choices for users to link non-Foxboro devices into the I/A Series system ZCP & FCP 270 controllers. They area available with serial and Ethernet options, single and redundant links, and have approval ratings for corrosive and explosive environments. Communication channels are galvanically isolated for protection. These rugged, compact modules mount in standard, field-mounted I/A Series baseplates side-by-side with other system input/output Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). Like the other FBMs, their communication with the I/A Series system and controllers is through Foxboro's high-performance (100 Mbps/1Gbps), ultra-high availability field network. Each FDSI module can support up to 16 devices to read and write data, and up to 2,000 Distributed Control Interface (DCI) points. Ethernet versions can be fewer, depending upon implementation.

Cluster I/O 200 Series I/O See Chart below for 200 Series part #s The 200 Series Field Bus Modules are the latest generation I/A Series I/O modules. The DIN rail mounted FBM subsystem provides a reliable, high speed communications interface between the host control processor (for example the I/A Series control station) and field I/O sensors and actuators. It incorporates innovative equipment packaging, and the use of fiber optic and/or coaxial cabling between modules to allow local or remote distribution of process I/O points. The DIN rail mounted Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) are compact, high-performance distributed process I/O modules. They perform the signal conversion required to interface the electrical input signals to/from the field sensors to the optionally-fault-tolerant I/A Series control station. Communication between the FBMs the I/A Series control station is via Fieldbus Communication Modules (FCMs), which interface the 2 Mbps module Fieldbus used by the FBMs with the 10 Mbps Ethernet trunk Fieldbus used by the I/A Series control station. The FBMs automatically accept communication from either communication path (A or B) of the redundant Ethernet trunk Fieldbus. Thus, if one path fails, communication is not interrupted.

V4.3 The Ethernet MESH Network (V8.x) S20 The Mesh Network represents the next revolutionary step of the I/A Series Control Network functionality, Version 8.0 release introduces unprecedented communications capability, versatility and performance to I/A Series process automation systems. The Mesh network structure provides alternate communications paths between all stations that allows for faster, more reliable communications. Standard Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) switch technology and components employ the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) to manage traffic paths and provide a self-healing, redundant network that can recover from multiples faults. Based on open standards, the Ethernet Mesh Network also lowers deployment costs by moving away from expensive proprietary networks to a low-cost standard network that can be easily maintained. This network also provides an infrastructure for information sharing between manufacturing and back-office systems.
