  • CPU Compatibility: Series 90‑30 CPUs with firmware 8.10+; compatible with Series 90‑70 via DIP switch configuration
  • Software Requirement: Logicmaster 90 v5.5 or later for configuration
• Function Features:
  • High‑Speed FIP Communication: 2.5 MHz data rate enables deterministic real‑time control and monitoring.
  • Redundant/Segmented Networks: Dual FIP ports support redundant topologies or network segmentation for enhanced reliability.
  • Multiple Configuration Modes: DIP‑switch Modes 11/20/30 adapt to diverse system architectures.
  • Cross‑Series Integration: Configurable for Series 90‑70 systems, expanding interoperability.
  • Comprehensive Diagnostics: 6 front‑panel LEDs provide instant status of module health, bus activity, and transmission states.
  • Firmware Upgradeability: RS485 port allows on‑site firmware updates without module replacement.
  • High Power Efficiency: 800 mA typical current draw minimizes backplane power consumption.
• Application Scenarios:
  • High‑Speed Distributed I/O: Connects Series 90‑30 PLCs to FIP I/O blocks, drives, and sensors in automotive assembly and semiconductor manufacturing.
  • Process Control: Enables deterministic data exchange for temperature, pressure, and flow control in chemical/petrochemical plants.
  • Redundant System Architectures: Dual FIP ports support redundant networks in power generation and water treatment facilities.
  • 90‑70 Integration: DIP‑switch configuration links Series 90‑30 CPUs to 90‑70 I/O racks in legacy system upgrades.
  • Factory Automation: Coordinates FIP devices in packaging lines, material handling, and robotic workcells.
  • Remote Monitoring: Facilitates data collection from remote FIP field stations in oil/gas pipelines and mining operations.
• Installation & Maintenance:
  • Mounting: Single‑slot DIN rail/backplane mount; install in Slot 1 of CPU baseplate for optimal communication.
  • Wiring: Use shielded twisted‑pair cables for FIP ports; terminate shields at the module end.
  • Configuration: Set DIP switches to Mode 11/20/30 per system requirements; use Logicmaster 90 v5.5+ for setup.
  • Diagnostics: Check Module OK (steady on = operational), RUN (flashing = active), CD1/CD2 (carrier detect), TEN1/TEN2 (transmission enable).
  • Firmware Update: Use RS485 port with compatible software for on‑site firmware upgrades.
  • Safety: Install in IP20 minimum enclosure; follow Zone 2, Group IIC guidelines for hazardous areas.
• Certifications: UL Listed, CE marked; compliant with IEC 61010‑1 (industrial safety) and IEC 61326‑1 (EMC) for reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.
