FOXBORO+FBM201 FBM204

Description

The Foxboro FBM201 and FBM204 are part of the Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS) used in process automation, providing reliable, flexible, and high-performance input/output (I/O) modules for controlling various processes. These modules interface with field devices like sensors, actuators, and controllers to gather data and send control signals.

1. Foxboro FBM201

The FBM201 is a Digital I/O Module used in the Foxboro I/A Series DCS systems. It interfaces with digital field devices such as switches, relays, and push buttons to control processes or monitor digital signals.

Product Description:

• The FBM201 provides digital input/output capabilities for the Foxboro system. It allows for both discrete (on/off) control and monitoring of devices, such as sensors or actuators, making it suitable for applications requiring high-speed switching and reliable digital I/O connections.

Key Features:

• High-speed digital I/O for discrete signals.
• Field bus communication with Foxboro’s DCS for data transfer.
• Flexible configuration for input/output points.
• Designed for harsh industrial environments.
• Supports standard wiring, reducing installation complexity.

Product Parameters:

• Type: Digital I/O
• Input Voltage: 24 V DC (typical)
• Input Points: Typically 16 digital inputs.
• Output Points: Typically 16 digital outputs.
• Signal Type: On/off (discrete)
• Fieldbus Interface: I/A Series communication protocol.
• Operating Temperature Range: -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
• Mounting: Can be mounted on a DIN rail for easy integration into a control cabinet.
• Power Supply: Powered by the system’s backplane.

Applications:

• • Used in control systems where discrete signals are required for monitoring or controlling on/off devices such as switches, relays, and sensors.
