FOXBORO FBM230 P0926GU

Description

The FBM230 Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) module provides a serial interface between single-ported

field I/O devices and the I/A Series ® system.

FEATURES

The key features of the FBM230 are:

 Four ports – each can be individually configured in

software for RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485

 Supports RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485

communication interface standards

 I/O software drivers downloadable from a library

of available protocols

 Up to 2000 DCI block connections

 Communicates with up to 64 RS-485 or up to 4

direct connect RS-232 or RS-422 devices

 Integrates field device data into an I/A Series

control database

 Field mounted

 Class G3 (harsh) environments.

OVERVIEW

The FBM230 has four ports – each can be

individually configured in software for RS-232,

RS-422 or RS-485. This provides a single FBM230

the flexibility to connect to multiple similar but not

identical devices.

Physical wiring is in accordance with Electronic

Industrial Association (EIA) standard RS-232, RS-422

or RS-485.

The FBM230 and its associated termination

assembly (TA) accommodate several types of

connections to single ported devices; direct

connection to devices; connection to modems when

used with the RS-232 communication interface, and

multidrop connections to RS-485 devices. Intrinsic

safety devices can be connected between the TA

and the field device. The general network

configurations are shown in Figure 1.
