As implied in Russ's and Scott's replies, but not directly stated, these
modules do not connect to the Mesh Control Network.
One other interesting point, they do not require letterbugs so they do
not have to occupy one of the 32 baseplate slots. Thus, you could put a
pair on a baseplate with the FCP take it to a FO hub and fan out to
multiple (up to 4) 2 slot baseplates which can then attach to 1 (or more
depending) FBM carrying baseplates.
The new FEM allows you to take this further and have many drops each
with many baseplates.
Of course, none of this expansion capability makes the FCP's I/O
processor faster so you need to be sure you don't overload it.
PS. They really should not have been called FCMs because they don't do
what "real" FCMs do. They are simply FO repeaters.

Matt,
If it's a FCP, then to use I-O at long distance use the FCM2F2,
FCM2F4,
FCM2F10. These are not "new" modules. We have been making them since =3D
200 series I/0 came out in 1999.
Basically these are fieldbus extenders, dumb modules (no OS or iom).
See your local sales person or check the CSC website for PSS.

Subject: [foxboro] Remote IO with FCP
While attending a version 8 course at Foxboro in august, the instructor
=3D3D told us about remote IO from an FCP, just as done over the mesh with
a =3D3D ZCP, by using one of the new modules for the fiber connection,
however I =3D3D cannot find any documentation proving this. Possibly I am
confused on if =3D3D it was over the mesh, but I am positive it was at
least using fiber to =3D3D extend the length limits through a module you
use on the baseplates.
Help on this would be greatly appreciated.
