Foxboro FBM231 P0926GV Serial Communication Module

Product Description

Product Overview

The Foxboro FBM231 (P0926GV) is a serial communication Fieldbus Module developed for Foxboro I/A Series and Evo™ distributed control systems. It is designed to integrate external serial-based field devices into the DCS environment, enabling stable and continuous data exchange with third-party equipment.

This module acts as a communication gateway rather than a passive mounting component, handling protocol processing and signal management directly within the control system architecture.

Functional Capabilities

The FBM231 supports multiple industry-standard serial communication formats, allowing it to interface with PLCs, analyzers, intelligent instruments, and legacy controllers. With four independent serial channels, the module enables simultaneous communication with multiple devices while maintaining deterministic performance.

Redundant deployment is supported at the system level, helping maintain communication continuity in high-availability applications. Electrical isolation and noise suppression features further enhance reliability in electrically harsh environments.

Typical Application Areas

The P0926GV module is widely used in control systems where serial communication remains essential, including:

Oil and gas production and processing
Chemical and petrochemical plants
Power generation facilities
Water and wastewater treatment systems

It is particularly suited for environments requiring long-term stability and controlled integration of legacy or specialized field equipment.
