I did not hear of it, but it seems like the logical way to go....after all, our systems are running 24/7, replacing an FBM100 by an FBM200 required a new baseplate, thus most of the time also a new cabinet...... Although it would be a good thing for emergency replacement for those of us who do not have spare FBM100's , I would not consider replacing all of my FBM100's by FBM200 in this way, because if we do a complete upgrade to new FBM's I would prefer new baseplates & re-wire new cabinets, just to get rid of the old & dusty wiring mess in the old cabinets...... We have some new FBM200 cabinets and it's so much easier for everyone to work on Dirk Pauwels - DCS/MOC coordinator Engineering dept.

That way existing customers could replace defective 100 series modules with 200 series electronics, and not have to re-wire. Has anyone else heard of this project?=20 Ken Moore Celanese Enoree, SC _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
