Ground metal enclosures and exposed metal parts of electrical instruments in accordance with relevant safety standards. For the USA, refer to
OSHA rules and regulations as specified in Design Safety Standards for Electrical Systems, 29 CFR, Part 1910, Subpart S, dated: May 16, 1981
(OSHA rulings are in agreement with the National Electrical Code). For international locations, refer to IEC 60364-4-41: PROTECTION AGAINST
ELECTRIC SHOCK. You must also ground mechanical or pneumatic instruments that include electrically operated devices such as lights,
switches, relays, alarms, or chart drives. The FB3000 includes a chassis ground lug. Unless specifically noted, the chassis ground is isolated
from ground terminals on individual modules installed in the device to prevent noise. The chassis ground lug provides a path to earth ground
for electrical safety, static discharge, and stray voltages. Do not connect the chassis ground lug directly to a lightning arrestor/lightning rod.
Important: Complying with the codes and regulations of authorities having jurisdiction is essential to ensuring personnel safety. The guidelines
and recommendations in this manual are intended to meet or exceed applicable codes and regulations. If differences occur between this
manual and the codes and regulations of authorities having jurisdiction, those codes and regulations must take precedence.
Protecting from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
This device contains sensitive electronic components which can be damaged by exposure to an ESD voltage. Depending on the magnitude and
duration of the ESD, it can result in erratic operation or complete failure of the equipment. Ensure that you correctly care for and handle ESD-
sensitive components.
Using Qualified Personnel

Introduction 3
Supports serial communication options for RS-232 and RS-485.
Provides two Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) ports.
Provides Micro A-B USB connector to support DNP3 communications.
1.3 FB3000 RTU Chassis
The FB3000 RTU has either a four-slot or an eight-slot chassis. The CPU is always in slot one of the
base chassis.
Figure 1-2. Chassis – 8 Slot Version (with/without slot covers)
Each slot includes an upper section and a lower section. The upper section holds the internal logic
module, and the lower section holds the personality module used for wiring.
If your RTU is not fully populated with modules, you can fill the empty slots with slot covers to
protect the connectors from dust. These are installed/removed using the same screws used for
personality modules.
If you require more than seven I/O slots provided by an eight-slot chassis, you can optionally
purchase one, two, or three extension chassis to attach to the base chassis, allowing an additional
8, 16, or 24 I/O slots for a total of 15, 23, or 31 slots in a single RTU.
Alternatively, a four-slot chassis may be added to the end of any eight-slot chassis so long as the
four chassis limit is not exceeded; this allows for configurations of 11, 19, or 27 I/O slots for a single
RTU.
1.4 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The RTU’s CPU is a Freescale (NXP) SoloX dual-core architecture processor with an Arm® Cortex®-
A9 core, and an Arm Cortex-M4 core. If your RTU includes multiple chassis, there is still only one
CPU module in the first slot of the first chassis; all other chassis hold only I/O modules.
There are two CPU versions available:
3CPU16 – FB3000 RTU with full control and I/O capabilities
3IOCPU – FBxRemote I/O for I/O only with no control, no calculation support, and no
application support.

1.6 I/O
Other than slot 1 in the base chassis (which is reserved for the CPU), any slot can contain an I/O
module, however, not all I/O slots support all I/O module types.
1.6.1 Example – 12 Channel Mixed I/O Module (3MIX12/3MSG12)
I/O is configured within FBxConnect software.
For example, each 12-channel Mixed I/O module (labelled 3MIX12) supports the following
inputs/outputs:
Eight (8) input channels that you can individually configure using FBxConnect as analog inputs (AI),
digital inputs (DI), or pulse inputs (PI).
AIs are software-selectable as either 1VDC to-5VDC or 4 mA to 20 mA.
Two (2) analog output channels.

external charging mechanisms and connect to the external power terminals.
1.8 Communications
The RTU includes four serial communication ports, two Ethernet ports, and one Micro A-B USB port.
The Ethernet ports reside on the top of the CPU module and use RJ-45-style 8P8C sockets. Each
port supports a maximum of six concurrent TCP connections (sockets). The Micro A-B USB port
resides on the front of the CPU module and supports DNP3 communication. The serial ports allow
communication using DNP3, Modbus slave and Modbus master protocols.

2.3.1 Connecting Extension Chassis
The FB3000 8-slot chassis supports up to 3 additional chassis. When connecting an extension
chassis to the “base” chassis (the chassis containing the CPU module), use only the right-hand side
of the base chassis. The FB3000 base chassis cannot support an extension chassis using the left-
hand connector.
The FB3000 4-slot chassis can serve as a single base chassis, or as the last extension chassis in an 8-
slot chassis assembly. The FB3000 4-slot chassis cannot have an extension chassis since it has no
right-hand connector.
DANGER
EXPLOSION HAZARD - MAY CAUSE DEATH
When installing in a hazardous location, the installer must ensure the side connectors between
the chassis are fully engaged.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury to personnel.
CAUTION
MAY CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND EQUIPMENT
When mounting an FB3000 with one or more extension chassis in an enclosure, ensure that you
mount the racks in a left to right
horizontal direction (wall mount on DIN-rails)
inside the end user
system enclosure to allow for adequate heat dissipation.
Never
mount the racks in a
vertical
stacked direction.
Notes
If using multiple chassis, the length dimension increases by approximately 220 mm (8.7 in) for
each additional chassis 8-slot chassis, so:
If using multiple chassis, the length dimension increases by approximately 220 mm (8.7 in) for
each additional chassis 8-slot chassis
If using two 8-slot chassis, overall length is approximately 465 mm (18.30 in)
If using three 8-slot chassis, overall length is approximately 685 mm (26.96 in)
If using four 8-slot chassis, overall length is approximately 905 mm (35.62 in)
A 4-slot chassis can serve as an extension chassis, but only as the last chassis in the assembly,
and it adds approximately 134.84 mm (5.309 in) to the length of a one, two or three 8-slot
chassis assembly
Squeeze hard to remove connector covers on the two mating chassis. You may need to use both
hands.
