Product Description
The FBM214B (P0922VT) is a high-performance analog input module for the Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system. This module provides eight isolated channels designed for smart field instruments using the HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) protocol.
It serves a dual purpose: accurately capturing 4-20 mA analog process variables while simultaneously enabling bidirectional digital communication with field devices for advanced diagnostics and remote configuration.
With the FBM214B, operators can access secondary and tertiary variables from smart transmitters—such as sensor temperatures or device health—without additional field wiring. Each channel is galvanically isolated to prevent ground loops and protect the system bus, ensuring high-quality data in demanding industrial environments.

Application Scenarios
The FBM214B is ideal for smart factory and modern DCS architectures, including:
-
Predictive Maintenance: Monitoring valve health and transmitter calibration drift via HART diagnostics.
-
Complex Data Acquisition: Reading multiple variables (e.g., mass flow, density, temperature) from a single Coriolis meter.
-
Safety Systems: High-integrity pressure and level monitoring in hazardous chemical storage.
-
Asset Management: Remote instrument configuration via FDT/DTM software integrated with the DCS.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the "B" version differ from the standard FBM214?
A: The FBM214B is optimized for high-speed HART communication. It features an upgraded processor for faster secondary variable updates and more responsive communication with asset management software compared to earlier revisions.
Q: Can this module be used for non-HART 4-20 mA signals?
A: Yes. The FBM214B functions as a standard 4-20 mA analog input module. If a connected device does not support HART, the module simply processes the analog signal and ignores the digital HART layer.
