Hot-swap a module only with a compatible module. If you hot-swap a
module with an incompatible module, the associated function blocks must
be entirely reconfigured.
Connect the FP-3000 to the Fieldbus Network
The FP-3000 can be one of up to 32 devices connected to a Fieldbus
network. The connection is made through the 9-pin male Dsub Fieldbus
connector on the FP-3000, shown in Figure 2-6.
Figure 2-6. Fieldbus Connectors on the FP-3000
Use a Fieldbus cable with a 9-pin female Dsub connector to connect the
FP-3000 to a properly terminated Fieldbus network. When you are only
using an FP-3000, the power hub is not being used for power—it is only
being used because it has the terminators inside. For other F

Fieldbus devices that use bus powering, you would apply power to the hub,
from which devices would get their power. Refer to the Fieldbus
Foundation Wiring and Installation 31.25 kbit/s, Voltage Mode, Wire
Medium Application Guide for specific information about wiring and
installing a Fieldbus network. If you want to make your own Fieldbus cable,
refer to the Fieldbus Standard for Use in Industrial Control Systems,
Part 2, ISA-S50.02.1992. The FP-3000 Fieldbus connector pinout is shown
in Figure 2-7.
