What is your take on FDSI point licenses vs CP point licenses? I never
got a good explanation as to the difference. Does FDSIs only on a CP
qualify you to buy the FDSI licenses instead of the CP license?
The last I heard a ZCP270 was good for 4000 points maximum versus an
FCP270 was only good for 2000 points maximum. Anyone know if this is
still true?

As the others have stated you need to have two separate FDSIs. I suppose
the good news is the modbus driver is about 1/4 the price of the AB
driver, both also have 4 ports which is a major improvement over the old
gateways/comm30 modules. We have several AB FDSI (230) talking directly
to single or multiple PLC5 and SLC503/4 with out any issues. The block
count can get very large very quickly using up all of the available
blocks in your CP. For this reason we have been putting the larger ones
on there own FCP270 which gives you an option to purchase a
gateway/SCADA only license for the CP which is way cheaper than a normal
CP license with IO.
cheers, Rob.
