Foxboro I/A Series FBM231 | Field Device System Integrator Module
Overview
The Foxboro I/A Series FBM231 Field Device System Integrator Module is designed to ensure redundancy at the Fieldbus Module (FBM) level. A pair of FBM231 modules work together, with one acting as the Master and the other as the Tracker. Field wiring is connected to two termination assemblies to provide redundant communication paths.
Environmental Specifications
- Operating Temperature: -20 to +70°C (-4 to +158°F)
- Relative Humidity: 5 to 95% (noncondensing)
- Storage Temperature: -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F)
- Contamination: Suitable for use in Class G3 (Harsh) environments as defined in ISA Standard S71.04, based on exposure testing according to EIA Standard 364-65, Class III.
Physical Specifications
- Mounting: The FBM231 mounts on a Modular Baseplate, which can be installed horizontally or vertically on a DIN rail. It can also be mounted horizontally in a 19-inch rack using a mounting kit.
-
Module Dimensions:
- Height: 102 mm (4 in)
- Width: 45 mm (1.75 in)
- Depth: 104 mm (4.11 in)
- Termination Assembly (TA) Dimensions: Refer to pages 10 and 11 for detailed dimensions.
Mass
- Module: Approximately 284 g (10 oz)
-
Termination Assembly:
- Ring Lug (P0926PA): Approximately 363 g (0.8 lb)

- TA Ring Lug: P0926PA
- TA Compression Screw: P0926GH
Cables
- FBM231 to TA Lengths: Available in lengths from 1 m (3 ft) to 5 m (15 ft)
- Termination Cable Type: Type 5 (Refer to Table 1 on page 9)
- TA RS-232 Connection (DB-25 Cable) to Modem/Converter/Device: Supports custom cables up to 15 m (50 ft) per EIA Standard RS-232
- RS-422 and RS-485: Supports distances of up to 1200 m (3960 ft)
Key Features
- Redundancy: Ensures high availability by using a pair of modules, one as Master and one as Tracker.
- Multiple Communication Interfaces: Supports RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 communication standards.
- Field Wiring: Connects to two termination assemblies for redundant communication paths.
- Environmental Suitability: Designed for harsh environments (Class G3).
- Mounting Flexibility: Can be mounted on a DIN rail or in a 19-inch rack.
