Yes you are correct.

After investigation I found:

Child ECB's ARE included in the 120 count.

        That would include the child ECB's...according to Foxboro.

        Are you sure that Child-ECB's should be included in the 120 count ? 

        As I have serviced sites with at least 15 parent IT-FBM-ECB's c/w
apx 80
        Child-ECB's not to mention about 25 regular ECB's; for a total of
only apx
        120 counting your way and have had no problems.

                I have been told by Foxboro that the total number of ECB's
per CP40
        should
                never exceed 120.  Our problem is we use a large number of
        intelligent
                transmitters and each intelligent transmitter requires an
ECB.  If
        you use
                FBM 18's that would mean that the maximum number of FBM's
per CP
        would be 13
                (9ECB's per FBM18).  I've always been told that a CP40 could
handle
        48 FBMs
                with no more than 24 per fieldbus isolator

                The only performance issue I have seen is the Intelligent
Field
        Device
                Configurator (IFDC) will not write information to the
transmitter.

                Has anyone ever encountered this problem and what was your
        solution?... or
                is this really a problem?

                If it is a problem would a CP60 help?
