Foxboro|FBM237 P0914XS|Output Module
Description
The FBM237 is part of the Foxboro Evo™ Process Automation System, designed for applications requiring high reliability. It features eight 0-20 mA analog output channels, each galvanically isolated from other channels and ground. The module supports single or redundant operation, ensuring continuous operation even in the presence of a fault.
Features
- 8 x 20mA Outputs: Each channel is galvanically isolated.
- Redundancy: Supports dual-module redundancy for fail-safe operations.
- Environmental Suitability: Compact and rugged design suitable for Class G3 environments.
- Termination Assemblies: For local or remote field wiring connections.
- Bypass Capability: Maintains outputs during maintenance with an Output Bypass Station.
- Transmitter Powering: Diode OR’d power supply for redundant power assurance.
- Microprocessor Security: Includes health validation routines.
- Visual Indicators: LEDs for status indication.
Technical Specifications
- Output Channels: 8 channels, 0-20 mA dc, galvanically isolated.
- Wiring Compatibility: Stranded with ferrules, 0.2 to 2.5 mm²; ring lugs, 0.5 to 4 mm²/22 AWG to 12 AWG.
- Temperature Rating: PVC: -20 to +50°C, PA: -20 to +70°C.
- Termination Assemblies: Compression screw type (PVC/PA), ring lug type (PVC).
- Cable Materials: Polyurethane, Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH).
- Cable Lengths: Up to 30 meters (98 feet).
- Fail-Safe Options: Fail-Safe Action (Hold/Fallback), Analog Output Fail-Safe Fallback Data set to 0 mA.
- Fieldbus Communication: 10 Mbps Coaxial Ethernet to 2 Mbps Fieldbus.
- Module Design: Modular with a rugged extruded aluminum exterior.
- Replacement: Modules can be replaced without disturbing field device termination cabling, power, or communications cabling.
- Subsystem Availability: High due to redundancy and fault coverage.
- Power Supply: Transmitter power from each module is diode OR’d in the redundant adapter.
