Re: [foxboro] CFT10 on a FBM43

Dale,

We use CFT10s and we were told that the only way to connect digitally to
the IA system is via the 100 series fieldbus.  There are redundant
fieldbus terminals on the CFT10 for this purpose.  I do not believe you
can connect a Foxcom FBM directly to the current output (I-, I+) of the
CFT10 as you can with other Foxboro instruments.  There is also not a
Digital Output mode configuration option for the current output of the
CFT10.  I do believe you need to use the ECB22 for the CFT10 and this is
not a child ECB.  When we installed a new 200 series FBM system we had
to install a separate FCM100E just to provide the 100 series fieldbus
for the CFT10s.  As a side note the new CFT50 does not provide any
Foxcom capability only Hart.

Subject: [foxboro] CFT10 on a FBM43

Hi all


I have a CFT10 Mass Flow Transmitter and I want to hook it up to a
FBM43.  I'm running P91 Version 8.3 Software and it is hanging off a
FCP270 FT Pair. After reading the manuals B0193AW I can only find an
ECB22 for a CFT10 and I think this is when you hang it off the PIOBUS
which I'm not doing.  I would rather use the 4 to 20 mA Signal as an
input to the FBM43.  I have 6 other channels working on this FBM with
FoxComm Transmitters in Digital Mode 4800 BAUD and they work fine.  When
I make my CFT10 a Child (ECB18) of this FBM43 it looks like it
communicates and it goes online ok but I cannot talk to it with IFDC
which is on the same BOX (P91).  I keep getting the following errors :
over and over again...........Any help or guidance would be greatly
appreciated.
