FAQ

Q: Is the 10004/H/F still in production?
A: No, this module has been discontinued by the OEM but is available as new surplus from authorized suppliers.

Q: What is the difference between 10004/H/F and 10024 series?
A: The 10004/H/F is a legacy communication interface module, while the 10024 series are Enhanced Communication Modules (ECM) with more advanced features and flash memory.

Installation Guide

1. Power down the FSC system before installation.
2. Mount the module on DIN rail or panel as required.
3. Connect communication cables (RS-232/RS-485/Ethernet).
4. Configure protocol parameters via FSC engineering software.
5. Verify communication integrity with connected DCS or operator station.

Selection Tips

• For new installations, consider 10024 series Enhanced Communication Modules.
• For legacy FSC system maintenance, the 10004/H/F is a vital replacement part.
• Verify exact dimensional and power requirements with supplier before ordering.
• Consider 10018/E/1 or 10018/2/U as alternative communication modules.
