FCM II is available in six varieties (see Figures 1.1 and 1.2 below). This modular construction simplifies the process of FCM mapping to field devices by appropriating each FCM II model with just the right amount of I/O for its designated purpose. In addition, FCM IIs are DIN rail (35mm) mountable and require no wiring between units;...

ISCHARGE ROTECTION The FCM II contains electronic components and assemblies subject to damage by ESD. The FCM II was designed to protect against ESD while the unit is mounted on an electrical panel and in normal operation. Proper handling procedures must be observed during the removal, installation, repair and other handling of FCM II modules summarized below.
NSTALLATION FCM II modules are easily attached to 35mm DIN rails by tilting the top edge toward the panel and catching the top edge on the rail (see Figure 2.1 below). Then the module is swung back down until the spring loaded metal foot catches on the bottom edge of the rail (see Figure 2.2 below).
AYOUTS Toptech Systems assembles standard panel layouts which are shown in Chapter 6. These include a 20 inch by 20 inch panel with a single DIN rail of FCM IIs or a 30 inch by 30 inch panel with two DIN rails of FCM IIs.
Although the ten position power/communication bus terminal block is rated for solid or stranded copper wire 14 to 30 AWG [2.1 to 0.05 mm ], Toptech recommends using stranded 16 to 18 AWG [1.3 to 0.8 mm ] for power. See section 2.5 regarding the choice of communication wire.
Maximum length: 4,000 feet (1,220 Meters) Maximum stub length: 15 feet. All exposed shields must be properly insulated to prevent short circuits. All shields must be continuous, soldered and properly insulated. FCM II Installation Guide: 20160419 - Part # 2307...

To achieve this, the FCM II controlling the I/O associated with that field equipment must have its communication switched between the MutliLoad II on each lane, depending on which lane the load arm resides when in use.
AWG [3.3 to 0.05 mm ], Toptech recommends using stranded copper wire 12 AWG to 24 AWG [3.3 to 0.2 mm depending on the type of field device. The required screw tightening torque is 5 to 7 Lb-in. [0.6 to 0.8 Nm]. Wires must be stripped ¼”...

Note: All 4 wires MUST be run to the sensor. Do not simply jumper REF- to COM or REF+ to V+ at the FCM II. For 3-wire and 2 wire probes, the connection of REF- to COM and REF+ to V+ should be as close as possible to the probe (within inches).
NOTE: The receiver does not contain a voltage source. The loop must be powered either by the transmitter or by an external power supply. The I/O Board adds 75 Ohms to the loop. FCM II Installation Guide: 20160419 - Part # 2307...

IMULATION The FCM II simulator is a special version of an FCM II 4DCIN, 4ACOUT module. The FCM II simulator differs from an FCM 1 simulator in that it is configured entirely from MultiLoad (no keyboard or display required). This simulator is able to perform most all of the FCM I simulator functions with the exception of forcing error conditions and looping back outputs to inputs.
OWERED All standalone FCM II modules have a front panel LED that shows the power status of its 5V power. In addition, the 4DCIN/4ACOUT module has a 12V indicator LED showing the status of its onboard 12 Vdc supply used to power field device dc inputs.
4) If screen display is the same as above, the FCM IIs are communicating with the MultiLoad II. 5) If an FCM II is not communicating, the message XX-ERR appears where XX is the address of the FCM that is not communicating.
Please consult the MultiLoad User Manual for further errors that are not covered here. The MultiLoad User Manual describes in great detail how to configure an FCM II panel for most kinds of control applications as well as how to troubleshoot those setups.
The maximum number of FCM IIs on this panel is the equivalent of 12 single wide modules. Toptech recommends mounting the power supply on the DIN rail with the FCM IIs as most DIN rail power supplies require vertical mounting and top/bottom clearance for proper cooling.
The maximum number of FCM IIs on this panel is the equivalent of 18 single wide modules per row (36 total). Toptech recommends mounting the power supply on the DIN rail with the FCM IIs as most DIN rail power supplies require vertical mounting and top/bottom clearance for proper cooling. ...
OMMUNICATION ISTRIBUTION FCM II modules were designed to minimize 24 Vdc input power and serial communication wiring by employing a distribution buss in the base of the modules. Therefore, considerations only have to be made as to which side of a DIN rail assembly the power and communication cable should attach (left side female plug or right side male plug).

Ground/Overfill output required by digital control valves. Note: Do not use FCM II ac outputs to directly run pumps. Use an interposing relay. The rated currents of the ac output modules should be sufficient for most types of solenoid valves but note the ratings as shown in Figure 1.2 and section 3.2.
