Product Overview

The Foxboro FBM241 (Part Number: P0914WM) functions as a high-density, channel-isolated discrete input/output interface for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). This hybrid module facilitates the simultaneous monitoring of 8 field inputs and the control of 8 discrete outputs. By consolidating input sensing and output switching into a single modular footprint, the FBM241 optimizes cabinet space while maintaining total signal independence. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring your critical automation loops benefit from factory-certified electrical isolation and long-term reliability.

Engineering Advantages

True Channel-to-Channel Isolation: Every individual input and output channel on the FBM241 features full galvanic isolation rated up to 600 VAC. This architecture prevents ground loops and ensures that a high-voltage surge or electrical fault on one field device cannot propagate to adjacent channels or damage the central control processor.

Hybrid I/O Efficiency: The FBM241 eliminates the need for separate input and output cards for small-scale control loops. By managing both sensing (switches/contacts) and execution (actuators/relays) in one module, you reduce hardware costs and simplify your I/A Series baseplate configuration.

Aggressive Noise Suppression: The module provides configurable debounce filtering (up to 32 ms). This allows engineers to tune the module to ignore mechanical contact chatter and electromagnetic interference (EMI) typical in environments with large motor starters or variable frequency drives (VFDs).

Rugged ISA Class G3 Compliance: Foxboro coats the internal electronics to meet Class G3 "Harsh" environment standards. This protects the module against corrosive gases, high humidity, and airborne contaminants found in refineries and chemical processing facilities.

Simplified Maintenance with Hot-Swapping: The FBM241 supports hot-swappable replacement. Maintenance teams replace the module without removing field wiring or powering down the system, significantly reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) during critical operations.

FAQs

Does the FBM241 P0914WM support ladder logic execution?

Yes. The FBM241 supports local discrete I/O processing and ladder logic execution. This allows the module to handle high-speed interlocking and sequential logic independently, reducing the processing load on the main control processor.

What is the maximum current the outputs can handle?

Standard DC outputs handle up to 2 A. However, when paired with the appropriate Termination Assembly (TA), the module supports AC switching up to 5 A, making it robust enough to drive large solenoids and motor starters directly.

Can I mix different voltage levels on the input and output channels?

Because the FBM241 provides full channel-to-channel galvanic isolation, you can interface different voltage levels across the channels, provided you use the compatible Termination Assembly (TA) for your specific voltage requirements (e.g., 24 VDC, 120 VAC, or 240 VAC).

How do I know this unit is brand new?

We guarantee every Foxboro FBM241 P0914WM is 100% brand new and original factory stock. Each unit arrives in its original packaging with verified serial numbers and passes full factory diagnostic testing.
