The Foxboro FBI10E is designed to facilitate communication between the Control Processor 60 (CP60) and Y-Module form factor Fieldbus Modules (FBMs), such as FBM01 and FBM02. It converts 10 Mbps Ethernet fieldbus signals from the CP60 into HDLC signals for the Y-Module FBMs. The module provides galvanic isolation between the Ethernet fieldbus and the FBMs.
