- Use FCM100Et only in the documented redundant ZCP270 fieldbus architecture
- Maintain both 100 Mbps optical network paths and the 2 Mbps Module Fieldbus
- Preserve external time-strobe wiring when SOE or TDR/TDA synchronization is required
FCM100Et is a Foxboro redundant fieldbus communications module with time synchronization designed for the Foxboro Fieldbus Communication Modules family.
Foxboro FCM100Et is a redundant Ethernet-to-Module-Fieldbus communications module that links DIN-rail FBMs with ZCP270 control through The MESH network. The official document styles the function as FCM100Et and identifies P0926GS as the module part number; splitter/combiners, fiber cables and baseplates are separate hardware.
Before installation or replacement, verify the complete nameplate, compatible hardware, network or field wiring, saved configuration, software release and commissioning plan.
Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for FCM100Et are confirmed during quotation.

- Connect the redundant modules to supported 100 Mbps Ethernet paths through the documented splitter/combiners
- Use 62.5/125 µm multimode fiber with LC connectors
- Keep each supported optical link between 3 m and 2 km
- Provide the external time strobe to both FCM100Et modules when required
- Supply the related ZCP270 pair with the same time-strobe source
- Validate SOE and TDR/TDA timing after any network or module change
- Install the modules as an adjacent Master/Tracker pair on the supported baseplate
- Preserve both Ethernet ports and both Module Fieldbus paths
- Prove automatic role reversal before returning the grouping to service
- Redundant ZCP270-to-200 Series FBM communications over 100 Mbps fiber
- Sequence-of-Events systems requiring externally synchronized FBM time stamps
- Transient Data Recorder and Transient Data Analysis installations requiring synchronized remote FBMs
