    The FBM232 Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) module is designed to bridge the gap between single-ported field input/output (I/O) devices and the EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ Distributed Control System (DCS). This module facilitates communication through a single Ethernet interface, supporting both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps copper Ethernet networks. It is capable of connecting to Ethernet switches or hubs to interact with one or up to 64 external devices.

    Key Features:

    • Network Transmission Rates: Supports Ethernet communications at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps.
    • Device Connectivity: Can connect to up to 64 field devices.
    • Protocol Flexibility: The I/O software driver can be downloaded from a library of supported protocols, allowing it to adapt to different field device standards.
    • High DCI Block Connections: Supports up to 2000 DCI (Data Communication Interface) block connections, enhancing its capability to manage complex systems.
    • Seamless Integration: Integrates data from field devices into the Foxboro DCS control database over Ethernet.
    • Rugged Design: Suitable for installation in harsh (Class G3) environments, making it ideal for industrial settings.
    • Field Mounting: Designed to be installed directly in the field, reducing the need for additional housing or protection.

    Functional Specifications:

    • Communication Protocols: Utilizes UDP/IP or TCP/IP for data exchange.
    • IP Addressing: Capable of operating with fixed IP addresses or using DHCP for automatic address assignment.
    • Data Handling: Supports transfer of various data types including 2-byte or 4-byte signed or unsigned integers, 4-byte IEEE single-precision floating-point values, and binary values. It also offers automatic type conversion as defined by the downloadable driver.
    • Performance: The fastest allowed ECB (Event Controlled Block) period is 500 milliseconds, ensuring timely data updates.
    • Redundancy and Reliability: Communicates with its associated modules (FCM100Et, FCM100E, FCP280, or FCP270) via a redundant 2 Mbps module Fieldbus, enhancing system reliability.

    Power Requirements:

    • Input Voltage: Operates on a redundant 24 V DC power supply with a tolerance of +5% to -10%.
    • Power Consumption: Consumes up to 7 watts of power, which is also the maximum heat dissipation.

    Regulatory Compliance:

    • EMC Compliance: Adheres to European EMC Directive 2014/30/EU, meeting EN61326-1:2013 Class A emissions and industrial immunity levels, ensuring that it operates without causing electromagnetic interference and can withstand typical industrial electromagnetic environments.

    The FBM232 is an essential component for integrating modern field devices into legacy or existing DCS systems, providing enhanced connectivity, flexibility, and performance in industrial automation and control applications.
