Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the CP60 P0961FR compatible with my existing I/A Series baseplate?
A: Yes. The CP60 module is designed for standard I/A Series baseplates. Confirm your baseplate revision with Konmask if you are unsure of compatibility.
Q: Can this module be used in a redundant configuration?
A: Yes. Pair the P0961FR with a P0961FS (redundant companion) on a dual-slot baseplate for hot-standby operation. Both modules must run the same firmware revision.
Q: What firmware version does this unit carry?
A: Firmware version is inspected and documented per unit. Contact Konmask before purchase if a specific firmware revision is required for your system.
Q: Does Konmask provide a warranty?
A: Yes. All modules carry a 90-day functional warranty from date of shipment. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
Q: Can you source other Foxboro I/A Series modules?
A: Yes. Konmask specializes in legacy Foxboro I/A Series hardware. Submit your full BOM and we will provide availability and pricing across all line items.
