Product Description
Overview
The Foxboro FBM218 P0917XV is a high-reliability redundant analog input and HART® output module designed for the Foxboro I/A Series and Evo™ process automation platforms. It acquires standard 4–20 mA analog signals from field transmitters and sensors, converting them into digital values for accurate process control and monitoring.
With 16 individually isolated input channels and 8 isolated output channels, this module ensures exceptional noise immunity, protection against ground loops, and supports paired operation for full redundancy. This makes it ideal for mission-critical industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, and power generation, where uninterrupted signal acquisition and output control are essential.
Functional Features
-
Analog Input: Sixteen channels acquire 4–20 mA process signals, providing high-resolution 12-bit A/D conversion with ±0.1% full-scale accuracy.
-
Redundant Output: Eight isolated output channels deliver 4–20 mA signals with superimposed HART® FSK digital communication, allowing two-way communication with field devices.
-
HART Communication: Dedicated FSK modems on each output channel support standard HART commands, enabling the module to act as a host for field devices, requesting and receiving two digital messages per second. Burst communication mode is not supported.
-
Electrical Isolation: Channels are galvanically isolated from each other, ground, and module logic, enhancing anti-interference performance and operational safety.
-
Redundancy: Dual-module pairing provides fault-tolerant operation at the Fieldbus Module (FBM) level, with one module serving as master and the other as a tracking module.
-
Robust Design: Compact and durable, suitable for G3-level industrial environments and harsh operational conditions.
