Another doubt regarding the FBM230 is: Can I have one port interfacing a DH+ network (via a KF2) and another port communicating with a Modbus device? Or would I need two independent FBM230 for that? The PSS says: "The FBM230 has four ports - each can be individually configured in software for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485. This provides a single FBM230 the flexibility to connect to multiple similar but not identical devices." regards, -- Donato Azevedo _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
