FCM100E communication module

The FOXBORO FCM100E is a communication module for industrial automation, manufactured by the U.S.-based FOXBORO company. Below is its detailed information:

1. Basic Information

Brand & Model: FOXBORO FCM100E
Input Voltage: Supports wide-range redundant dual-power input of DC 9–36V
Power Isolation: Features DC 1500V power isolation function
Power Consumption: Less than 5.6W

2. Core Functions

High-Speed Data Transmission: Supports optical fiber transmission technology with a transmission rate of up to 155Mb/s and a transmission distance exceeding 20km. This effectively reduces electromagnetic interference and improves the stability and reliability of data transmission.
Redundant Design: Supports paired use for redundant configuration to enhance system reliability and stability. It also supports dual-network redundancy and optical fiber ring network self-healing protection to ensure uninterrupted data transmission.
Flexible Network Topology: Provides 1–2 Profibus DP electrical ports and 1–2 155M optical fiber ports, allowing users to flexibly select interface types based on actual needs. Additionally, it supports multiple network topologies such as point-to-point communication, chain network, star network, redundant dual network, and optical fiber ring network to meet the requirements of different industrial scenarios.
Intelligent Monitoring & Protection: Equipped with 6 dual-color LED status indicators to display the status of optical fiber links and power supply in real time, facilitating quick fault location for users. Meanwhile, it has a built-in relay alarm output function—when an optical fiber link or power fault is detected, it can promptly output an alarm signal to remind users to handle the issue. Its electrical interface has 4000V lightning protection, 1.5A overcurrent protection, and 600W surge protection functions to ensure stable operation of the module in harsh industrial environments.
