Joe,

Sounds like you are missing the DVOPTS parameter with the device throwing that 
exception.  Also make sure that you have some test DCI blocks in the controller 
as it seems like the Ethernet module doesn't work right with just a driver and 
nothing talking.

We have also had issues with doing the initial start-up procedure for the 
FBM232.  Follow Foxboro manual exactly, and don't rush it - when the manual 
says it takes a couple of minutes, let the module sit for ten to fifteen 
minutes before deciding the operation failed.

Also, it seems like when you make your xml file that once the operation of a 
general download and soft download are completed, the system will add an .lmx 
file in the d:/usr/fox/sp/files/ directory where your .xml file is located.  We 
have found that deleting the .lmx file when the FBM throws an exception will 
help in getting module operational.

Call or write if you have any additional FDSI issues - we have it working in 
several plants both simplex and redundant to general Ethernet and Allen Bradley 
CIP to simplex and redundant PLC's.

Subject: [foxboro] FBM232 FDSI Configurator

FDSI folks,
I am trying to create a Port, Generic Ethernet xml file for a new FBM232.
No matter what I enter, when I try to save the configuration, I get an error 
message "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".  Even if I 
open up an existing one and try to save it with no changes I get the same error 
message.  What am I missing?

The configuration parameters are too simple to mess up, there are just 2; 
Select FBM Type (FBM232) and the IP Address.  Duh!

Any suggestions?  Nothing in the manual offers any help.
