Product Description

The P0922VT (FBM214) is a specialized analog input module for the Foxboro I/A Series and Foxboro Evo control systems. It provides eight isolated channels that support both traditional 4-20 mA signals and digital HART communication.

The module functions as a smart gateway, enabling the DCS to capture precise process variables while simultaneously accessing diagnostic data, secondary variables, and configuration parameters from smart field transmitters.

Designed for high-density industrial applications, the P0922VT features a compact, modular baseplate mounting form factor. Its rugged construction ensures galvanic isolation between channels, protecting the system from ground loops and signal interference. The module is ideal for remote calibration, instrument health monitoring, and modern predictive maintenance strategies.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

The P0922VT (FBM214) is commonly used for:

• Smart Instrumentation: Interfacing with pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters requiring HART data extraction.

• Asset Management: Using FDT/DTM technology for remote instrument configuration and troubleshooting.

• Redundant Monitoring: Providing high-accuracy inputs for critical process control loops in chemical and power plants.

• Predictive Maintenance: Monitoring device status to detect sensor failures before they cause outages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I mount this module in any orientation?
A: Yes. On a modular baseplate, it can be mounted on a DIN rail horizontally or vertically, and it also supports 19-inch rack mounting for high-density cabinets.

Q: Does this module provide power to the field transmitters?
A: Yes. The FBM214 supports 2-wire (loop-powered) transmitters, providing 24 V DC through the signal leads, and it can also accept inputs from self-powered (4-wire) devices.
