Structural Characteristics
- Form Factor: Compact module design.
- Installation: Can be installed in existing Q-Crate cabinets or I/A Series dedicated enclosures.
- Connection: Features a dedicated fieldbus expansion connector on the back.
Working Principle
FEM100 acts as a communication bridge between the Field Control Processor and underlying FBMs. It receives instructions from the processor, distributes them to various FBMs via the high-speed fieldbus, and aggregates data collected by FBMs to upload to the processor.

Installation Requirements
Must be connected to the FCP270 processor via a dedicated expansion cable. Ensure the expansion bus connection is firm during installation to avoid signal attenuation.

Precautions for Use
The number of expansion modules and total FBMs is limited by the processor’s scan cycle and memory capacity. Strict capacity calculations must be performed during the system design phase.
