FBM232 P0926GW

Description

The FBM232 P0926GW is a **Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) module** manufactured by Foxboro (now part of Schneider Electric) for industrial process control applications.

Here’s a breakdown of its functionalities, applications, and where to find more information:

**Function:**

* The FBM232 P0926GW acts as a single interface between single-ported field I/O (Input/Output) devices and the Foxboro Evo™ system.
* Field I/O devices are sensors and actuators used to monitor and control various process parameters in industrial plants.
* The FBM232 connects to a single 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network, allowing communication with:
* Up to 64 individual field I/O devices.
* Alternatively, a single external device.

**Applications:**

The FBM232 P0926GW is used in various industrial automation applications where the Foxboro Evo™ system is the primary control platform. Here are some examples:

* **Chemical Processing Plants:** Integrating temperature sensors, pressure transmitters, and control valves into the Evo™ system for process monitoring and control.
* **Oil and Gas Industry:** Connecting flow meters, level sensors, and on/off valves within pipelines, refineries, and storage facilities to the Evo™ control system.
* **Power Generation Plants:** Communicating with temperature sensors, pressure transmitters, and motor drives using the FBM232 within a power plant automation system running Evo™.

**Product Details:**

* **Limited Public Information:** Datasheets for industrial automation components like the FBM232 might be restricted due to their role in critical control systems. Public access is often limited to qualified personnel or authorized partners.
* **Alternatives:** Several online retailers and industrial parts suppliers list the FBM232 P0926GW with brief descriptions: [various online retailers, information not shown due to privacy] (Keep in mind the accuracy of information from these sources may vary).

**Finding More Information:**

Here are some suggestions for finding more information about the FBM232 P0926GW:

* **Schneider Electric Website:** The Schneider Electric website ([https://www.se.com/us/en/](https://www.se.com/us/en/)) might offer resources for authorized partners or system integrators who could have access to technical specifications or manuals. Search for “FBM232 P0926GW” or browse through the Foxboro product archive.
* **Authorized Distributors:** Contact authorized Schneider Electric or Foxboro distributors who might have access to technical specifications, manuals, and potentially offer compatibility information for specific Evo™ system configurations.
* **Technical Support:** Consider contacting Schneider Electric’s technical support team, mentioning the product code and your application. They might be able to provide limited information or direct you to appropriate resources.

**Additional Notes:**

* The FBM232 P0926GW is likely used in conjunction with other Foxboro Evo™ system components like controllers, HMI (Human-Machine Interface) devices, and communication networks for a complete process control system.
* Working with industrial automation systems requires knowledge of specific protocols and safety considerations.
