A failure of this device – for whatever reason -- may leave an operating process without appropriate protection and could result
in possible damage to property or injury to persons. To protect against this, you should review the need for additional backup
equipment or provide alternate means of protection (such as alarm devices, output limiting, fail-safe valves, relief valves,
emergency shutoffs, emergency switches, etc.). Contact Remote Automation Solutions for additional information.
Returning Equipment
If you need to return any equipment to Remote Automation Solutions, it is your responsibility to ensure that the equipment
has been cleaned to safe levels, as defined and/or determined by applicable federal, state and/or local law regulations or
codes. You also agree to indemnify Remote Automation Solutions and hold Remote Automation Solutions harmless from any

Grounding Equipment
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.

1.3 FB3000 RTU Chassis
The FB3000 RTU has an eight-slot chassis. The CPU is always in slot one of the base chassis.
Figure 1-2: FB3000 RTU – 8-Slot Version (with/without slot covers)
Each slot includes an upper section and a lower section. The upper section holds the internal logic
for the 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, 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.
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.
