COMPACT DESIGN FBM207/b/c has a compact design, with a rugged extruded aluminum exterior for physical protection of the circuits. Enclosures specially designed for mounting the FBMs provide various levels of environmental protection, up to harsh environments (Class G3), per ISA Standard S71.04. VISUAL INDICATORS Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) incorporated into the front of the module provide visual indication of the Fieldbus Module operational status, as well as the discrete states of the individual input points. EASY REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT The module can be removed or replaced without removing field device termination cabling, power, or communication cabling. When redundant, either module may be replaced without upsetting field input signals to the good module. The module can be removed/replaced without removing field device termination cabling, power, or communications cabling. SEQUENCE OF EVENTS The Sequence of Events (SOE) software package (for use with I/A Series® software V8.x and Control Core Services software v9.0 or later) is used for acquisition, storage, display, and reporting of events associated with digital input points in a control system. SOE, using the optional GPS based time synchronization capability, supports data acquisition across control processors at intervals of up to one millisecond, depending on the signal source. Refer to Sequence of Events (PSS 31S-2SOE) to learn more about this package, and to Time Synchronization Equipment (PSS 31H-4C2) for a description of the optional time synchronization capability. I/A Series systems with software earlier than V8.x can support SOE through ECB6 and EVENT blocks. However, these systems do not support GPS time synchronization and use a timestamp sent by the Control Processor which is only accurate to the nearest second and is not synchronized between different Control Processors.
