Re: [foxboro] 100 serries FBM end of sales

We haven't got much free slots left in our FBM100 cabinets, but we have
a large number of spare FBM's & FBI's on stock. They're easy to find and
very cheap from decommisioned systems.=20

I'm curios as to how other sites are planning on handling the end of
sales
life for 100 series FBM's.

In our case, we have a ongoing requirement to add a loop here and there
to
existing systems, and have installed cabinets with extra space to allow
for
this. In addition most of our CP's are pre CP60. So, as these needs crop
up
down the road, we are going to have problems meting them.

If it were as simple as installing a 200 series base, and adding that to
the fieldbus, we could probably live with that, but the idea of
propagating
all the way back to a CP upgrade, just to add a few I/O points, is
neither
economically appealing, nor generally possible, since there are many
locations
where this CP upgrade can be done on either a unit, or a mill wide
shutdown.

How are others planning on addressing this?
