APACS+ Subsystems

An FCP280. FCP270 or FCM100Et/FCM100E

baseplate is installed in the MODULPAC enclosure

with single or redundant modules. The baseplate has

a built-in Fieldbus termination assembly. The

I/O module power supplies and MODULRACs are

retained in the cabinet.

The MODULRACS, used to house I/O modules, are

reused to house the DCS FBMs. All termination

assemblies in the local, adjacent, and remotely

marshalled MODULPACs remain intact with their

termination cables and field wiring.

APACS+ I/O modules are removed from the

MODULRAC and replaced by a corresponding DCS

FBM that mates to the original power/signal

connector and termination cable connector on the

back of the MODULRAC. This DCS FBM provides

original I/O functionality of the process inputs and

outputs.
