Key features of the 200 Series baseplates are:  For FBM-supporting baseplates: • 2, 4, and 8 module positions in combination with vertical and horizontal mounting • Field connection for I/O termination assemblies, redundant adapters and module identifiers for each module • DIP switch for identification of certain Modular Baseplates • Adding additional 200 Series baseplates without removing the system from service (requires redundant bus)  Connection to the 2 Mbps Module Fieldbus for the Standard Fieldbus Modules, or to a 268 Kbps Fieldbus for the 100 Series FBMs  Splitters/terminators for time strobe and A/B Fieldbus  Connection for optional GPS time strobe for FCP270, and FCM100Et-supporting baseplates  Primary and secondary 24 V dc power and communications connections  Backwards compatibility with existing I/O subsystems allowing for future expansion without additional interface hardware  Keyed positions dedicated to CP or FCM/FBM only, depending on the baseplate type  Passive backplane to increase system reliability
