  • How do I configure the analog inputs on the Emerson FB3000 12-channel mixed I/O module?

    The Emerson FB3000 12-channel mixed I/O module (3MIX12/3MSG12) includes eight channels that can be individually configured as analog inputs (AI), digital inputs (DI), or pulse inputs (PI) using FBxConnect software. When configured as analog inputs, channels have the following characteristics:

    • Range: 4 to 20 mA or 1 to 5V, selectable within FBxConnect.
    • Resistor: No external resistor is required for 4-20 mA devices; configuring for current enables a 250 ohm resistor across the channel input.
    • Ground: Analog inputs share a common ground.
    • Exclusivity: A channel configured as an AI cannot be used as a DI or PI.
    • Power: If current requirements are less than 200 mA @ 24V, you can power using 24V loop supply.

    Unconnected analog inputs will report an alarm condition. Wiring examples for 1-5VDC or 4-20mA using an external voltage/current source are shown in Figure 3-1. Analog Input (AI) Wiring Using 1-5VDC or 4-20mA.

  • How do I replace the SRAM batteries in the Emerson FB3000?

    The Emerson FB3000 uses 3V lithium coin cell batteries for SRAM and real-time clock backup. You do not need to power down the unit to replace these batteries.

    For the Power Module Battery:

    1. Remove the power module.
    2. Grasp the battery and pull it out of the power module.
    3. Safely dispose of the old battery according to local regulations.
    4. Slide the replacement battery in, ensuring the positive (+) side with the writing is facing downwards, towards the RTU when the power module is installed.
    5. Reinstall the power module.

    For the CPU Module Battery:

    1. Remove the battery access door at the bottom of the CPU module. The door magnet will pull out the battery. If it doesn't work, use an external magnet to pull out the battery.
    2. Safely dispose of the old battery according to local regulations.
    3. Slide the replacement battery in. The positive (+) side with the label must be facing to the right side of the RTU. Push the battery access door back on.

    Important Notes:

    • Always back up your data before removing SRAM batteries if main power will be off, as SRAM data (configuration, alarms, events, history) will be lost.
    • The replacement SRAM backup battery for the CPU module must be RENATA CR
    • Replacement SRAM backup batteries for the power module(s) must be one of the following: RENATA CR2450HT, MAXELL CR2450HR, PANASONIC BR2450A, or MURATA CR2450W.

    For more information, see pages 98, 99 and 100 of the manual.

  • How do I configure the digital outputs on the Emerson FB3000 12-channel mixed I/O module?

    The Emerson FB3000 12-channel mixed I/O module (3MIX12/3MSG12) includes two dedicated digital output (DO) channels. When configured as digital outputs, they act as simple contact closures:

    • Operation: When ON (1), the contact closes; when OFF (0), the contact opens.
    • Current: They can conduct current in either direction.
    • Polarity: There is no polarity associated with DO terminals.
    • Grounding: The DOLO terminal of each DO channel has no connection to ground. It connects to its corresponding DOHI terminal when ON and disconnects from all terminals when OFF. If common grounding among DO channels is required, it must be configured externally.
    • Inductive Loads: When driving an inductive load (e.g., a relay coil), place a suppression diode across the load to protect the DO from reverse Electro-Motive Force (EMF) spikes (see DO2 in Figure 3-5).
    • Overcurrent Protection: Guard against overcurrent on the DO channel to avoid damage to the module.

    For more information, see pages 67, 68 and 69 of the manual.

  • How do I connect extension chassis to the Emerson FB3000 RTU?

    The Emerson FB3000 8-slot chassis supports up to 3 additional extension chassis. When connecting an extension chassis to the base chassis (which contains the CPU module), use only the right-hand side connector of the base chassis; the FB3000 base chassis cannot support an extension chassis using the left-hand connector. A 4-slot chassis can serve as a single base chassis or as the last extension chassis in an 8-slot chassis assembly, but cannot have an extension chassis itself as it lacks a right-hand connector.

    Installation Steps:

    1. Squeeze hard to remove connector covers on the two mating chassis. You may need to use both hands.
    2. Press the two chassis together. If mounting on a DIN rail, slide both chassis onto the DIN rail first to ensure proper alignment and place clamps/brackets at both ends of the assembly to ensure side connectors between chassis remain fully engaged.

    Important Considerations:

    • Hazardous Locations: Ensure side connectors are fully engaged to prevent explosion hazards.
    • Mounting Direction: When mounting an FB3000 with one or more extension chassis in an enclosure, ensure racks are mounted in a left-to-right horizontal direction for adequate heat dissipation. Never mount them in a vertical stacked direction (except for a single 4-slot chassis).
    • Dimensions: Each additional 8-slot chassis increases the total length by approximately 220 mm (8.7 in). A 4-slot chassis adds approximately 134.84 mm (5.309 in) to the length.

    For more information, see pages 26 and 27 of the manual.

  • How do I wire COM1 for RS-232 communication on the Emerson FB3000 CPU module?

    To wire COM1 for RS-232 communication on the Emerson FB3000 CPU module (3CPU16/3CPUSG), you will connect the CPU module to another device using a cable with specific configurations. The communication ports allow connection to a PC or laptop running FBxConnect software or other devices.

    Wiring Configuration for RS-232:

    • Pin 1: TXD1 (Transmit Data)
    • Pin 2: RTS1 (Request To Send)
    • Pin 3: RXD1 (Receive Data)
    • Pin 4: CTS1 (Clear To Send)
    • Pin 5: GND (Ground)

    Ensure you connect cable shields to a suitable Instrument Earth connection point. You must also use FBxConnect software to configure the COM1 port for RS-232 usage. The wiring diagram is shown in Figure 2-20. Wiring COM1 on the CPU Module for RS-232.
