The FCM10E Fieldbus Communications Module is a communications
interface that allows DIN rail-mounted Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) to
connect with I/A Series control stations via the high-speed,
optionally redundant 10 Mbps Ethernet trunk Fieldbus. The FCM10E
converts the 10 Mbps Ethernet signals from the control station to
the 2 Mbps signals used by the FBMs, and vice versa. It also
provides galvanic isolation between the Ethernet trunk Fieldbus and
the 2 Mbps module Fieldbus for added protection.
FCM10E modules are typically used in pairs for redundancy. A single
FCM10E—or a pair of modules—can support up to 30 FBMs, while up to
30 pairs of FCM10E modules can be connected to the Ethernet trunk
Fieldbus, providing flexible and scalable network connectivity.
The modules feature a compact, rugged design with an extruded
aluminum exterior that protects the circuits. Specialized
enclosures designed for DIN rail-mounted FBM equipment offer
varying levels of environmental protection, allowing the FCM10E
modules to operate even in harsh environments, in compliance with
ISA Standard S71.04.

The FCM10E is designed to snap right onto a baseplate, giving you
total flexibility in your installation approach.
Your Choice: Whether you are running a DIN rail setup or a standard rack mount,
this baseplate fits right in.
Clean Wiring: Forget the mess. The baseplate acts as your central hub, handling
all the connections for Fieldbus, power, and I/O cables in one
spot.
Room to Grow: Need more capacity? You've got space. The baseplate supports up to
eight slots, allowing you to stack FBMs or mix and match them with
FCMs to get the exact configuration you need.

Speed Conversion: It handles the speed difference between your control station (10
Mbps Ethernet) and your modules (2 Mbps), ensuring smooth data
flow.
Easy Maintenance: The FCM10E is hot-removable. Leave the power on, leave the cables
alone, just swap the unit without system shutdown.
Reliability and Redundancy: For critical systems, mount these in pairs to eliminate single
points of failure. With the right enclosure, it survives harsh
environments (ISA S71.04 standards).
