Re: 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? I suggest that you contact your Client Sales Executive and request that he seek these answers from our Technical Sales Consultants. They can contact the Device Integration Group for these details.

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).
