There is a little confusion in the Foxboro documentation here. They
refer to the FDSI driver as a DH+ driver, but it is in fact a DF1
driver.
This is a little confusing and in fact down-right misleading. DH+ has a
half decent data rate - whereas DF1 reminds me of the old VAX days when
I would jump for joy if my home modem synched at 2400 baud - the
characters would positively wiz across the screen!!

The lack of a specific FDSI document for serial-to-Allen-Bradley (aka
"DF1" in A-B parlance) makes me wonder if this configuration (i.e., what
you are trying to do) is even supported at version 8.2. They have FDSI
documents for serial and TCP Modbus, Ethernet/IP (A-B ControlLogix), and
OPC Client -- but not for DF1. Might your FBM231 be trying to speak
Modbus? If so, and if you don't have something like a Prosoft card in
the
5/40, it won't work.
