Foxboro|RH914XS FBM237|Output Module
Description
The RH914XS FBM237 is a Fieldbus Module (FBM) in the Foxboro™ DCS system, designed for 0 to 20 mA dc analog output applications. It features eight galvanically isolated output channels and can be used as a single unit or in a redundant pair configuration. The module is suitable for harsh environments (Class G3) and provides high reliability through its rugged design and fault-tolerant capabilities.
Features
- Eight 0 to 20 mA dc Analog Output Channels: Each channel is galvanically isolated.
- Single or Redundant Configuration: Can be used as a standalone module or in a redundant pair.
- Rugged Design: Suitable for Class G3 (harsh) environments, per ISA Standard S71.04.
- Termination Assemblies (TAs): For locally or remotely connecting field wiring.
- Visual Indicators: LEDs on the front of the module provide status indications.
- Fieldbus Communication: Interfaces with a 2 Mbps redundant module Fieldbus, accepting communication from either path (A or B).
- Modular Baseplate Mounting: Mounts on a standard modular baseplate, which can accommodate up to eight FBMs. Redundant modules must be located in adjacent odd/even positions.
- Fail-Safe Action: Configurable options include Hold/Fallback, Analog Output Fail-Safe Fallback Data (set to 0 mA), Fieldbus Fail-Safe Enable, and Fieldbus Fail-Safe Delay Time.
- High Reliability: Redundant pairs provide continuous operation even if one module fails.
- Hot Swappable: Modules can be replaced without disrupting field output signals or removing field device termination cabling, power, or communications cabling.
