Product Description
The Foxboro FBM216 P0917XQ is a redundant HART communication input module, part of the Foxboro I/A Series and EcoStruxure DCS fieldbus module family. It is engineered to host HART-enabled transmitters while acquiring 4–20 mA analog signals, ensuring continuous operation even during a module fault.
This module supports HART pass-through, enabling DCS and asset management tools to access device diagnostics, configuration parameters, and status without additional multiplexers. The compact, rugged FBM form factor with IP66-rated housing ensures reliable performance in harsh industrial environments. Moreover, supplier listings indicate high-density configurations with up to 16 channels, suitable for spare parts, retrofits, or expanded field installations.
The FBM216’s redundant architecture reduces single-point failures, supporting critical process control in power generation, petrochemical, water treatment, and manufacturing facilities. Proper verification of installed revisions and termination assemblies ensures accurate channel mapping and optimal redundancy performance.
