Product Description
Module Overview
The Foxboro FBM217 (P0916PW) is a high-density discrete input module designed for the Foxboro I/A Series and Evo™ control platforms. It is engineered to collect on/off status signals from field devices and reliably transmit them to the control system via the Foxboro Fieldbus.
This module is commonly deployed in applications where large volumes of digital signals must be monitored with high integrity, including interlocks, alarms, permissives, and equipment status feedback.
Functional Characteristics
The FBM217 P0916PW supports up to 32 two-wire discrete input points, allowing direct connection to DC or AC powered field contacts and sensors. Each channel is electrically isolated to reduce noise coupling and protect the system from field-side disturbances.
Redundant Fieldbus communication ensures continuous data exchange with the control processor, even if one communication path is unavailable. This design supports high system availability in critical process environments.
System Compatibility and Use Cases
This module integrates seamlessly into Foxboro I/A Series and Evo™ architectures and is widely used across oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, refineries, power stations, and other continuous process industries.
Its ability to accept a wide range of input voltages allows it to interface with diverse field devices without additional signal conditioning.

Implementation Notes
This module is intended exclusively for discrete signal monitoring. For analog current loop inputs or HART-enabled devices, other Foxboro FBM series modules should be selected. Proper grounding and cabinet layout are recommended to maintain signal integrity and long-term reliability.
