FOXBORO FBM01
The FOXBORO FBM01 is an input interface module designed for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). This module provides eight isolated analog input channels, each accepting a 2-wire DC input from analog sensors such as 4 to 20 mA transmitters or self-powered 20 mA sources. The FBM01 performs the necessary signal conversion to interface these electrical input signals from field sensors to the redundant Fieldbus. It is a main type module and independently connects to the redundant Fieldbus. This module executes the analog Input application program, with configurable options for Analog Input Resolution (on a per-module basis), Fieldbus Switching Enable, and Fieldbus Switching Time.
Key Characteristics:
- Eight Analog Inputs: Accepts 0 to 20 mA DC signals from 2-wire transmitters or self-powered sources.
- Isolated Channels: Each of the eight input channels is isolated.
- Redundant Fieldbus Interface: Independently connects to the redundant Fieldbus for reliable communication.
- Configurable Resolution: Analog input resolution is software configurable per module.
- Fieldbus Switching Options: Supports configurable Fieldbus switching enable and time.
- Rugged Design: Suitable for industrial environments.
