In our case, we are thinking about replacing some nests to FBM200s to use those 100s as spares, but rewiring is a big problem. We are waiting for those FBM200s with 100 series form factor. Alex told me that the project is running, at least last year.=20 In my opinion, replacing CP40 to 60 or ZCP270 and FBM100 to 100 series form factor FBM200s is the best solution in order to upgrade the system slowly, without much process interruption.

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?=3D20 Ken Moore Celanese Enoree, SC _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
