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)  For FCP280/FCP270, FDC280, and FCM100Et baseplates support: • Connection for optional GPS time strobe. All non-FDC280 modules require splitters/terminators for time strobe connections. FDC280 baseplates support direct connection.  All baseplates except the FDC280 baseplate (RH101KF) support: • 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 A/B Fieldbus • Backwards compatibility with existing I/O subsystems allowing for future expansion without additional interface hardware  Primary and secondary 24 V dc power and communications connections  Keyed positions dedicated to individual CP-type modules such as the FCP280, FDC280, or FCM/FBM only, depending on the baseplate type  Passive backplane to increase system reliability. 200 SERIES BASEPLATE MOUNTING Most 200 Series baseplates are available in three basic mounting configurations — horizontal DIN rail mount (see Figure 1), vertical DIN rail mount (see Figure 2), or either horizontal or vertical DIN rail mount provided the baseplate itself remains in the horizontal orientation (see Figure 3). Either of these mounting configurations can be employed internal to an enclosure, external to an enclosure, or mounted on a secure DIN rail.
