P0914TR FBM217 | Foxboro | Group Isolated Voltage Monitor

Product Overview

The FBM217 (Part Number: P0914TR) is a high-density discrete input interface module engineered for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). This module serves as a critical link between field-level binary devices and the control system, providing 32 group-isolated channels for monitoring switch closures, relay contacts, and voltage states.

As part of the Compact 200 Series I/O subsystem, the FBM217 (Model: FBM217) is designed for high-availability process automation. It converts field discrete signals into digital data for real-time processing by the control processor. The module's robust galvanic isolation ensures signal integrity by protecting the system backplane from electrical noise and transients common in heavy industrial environments. Whether deployed in single or redundant configurations, the FBM217 (P0914TR) delivers deterministic performance for safety interlocks, status monitoring, and sequence control.
