Foxboro FEM100

Product Introduction
The Foxboro FEM100 is a critical expansion accessory designed to work in conjunction with FCP270 and FCP280 controllers. It dramatically increases the I/O capacity of a single controller node by expanding the fieldbus bandwidth and address space, allowing for larger, more consolidated control segments.
