The redundant FDSI FBM for Triconex connection is an FBM 231. We have been using a number of these quite successfully for about 8 months now. As with any such system, there is a little learning curve for all the configuration details, but we've been very pleased with the performance. Our existing loading requirements are fairly modest, about 40 analog and 80 discrete points with scan rates of 0.5 or 1.0 seconds each. We're factory testing a new one right now with significantly discrete points on it and haven't yet seen any problems. I'm not sure what the specified loading limits are. By the way, it's "Triconex" with an "e" near the end.
