HARACTERISTICS
:
FCM II is available in six varieties (see Figures 1.1 and 1.2 below). This modular construction simplifies the
process of FCM mapping to field devices by appropriating each FCM II model with just the right amount of I/O for
its designated purpose. In addition, FCM IIs are DIN rail (35mm) mountable and require no wiring between units;
24Vdc and serial communications are bussed. This substantially simplifies installation and wiring.
