Product Description
The Foxboro FBM242 (P0971HX) is a 16-channel discrete output module for the I/A Series (EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS), designed to drive field-side inductive or resistive loads such as solenoids, motor starters, and relays.
Using an externally powered architecture, the FBM242 supports higher voltage and current loads than standard bus-powered modules, while high-grade optical isolation protects the core control logic. Its rugged design and hot-swappable capability make it ideal for industrial applications with minimal downtime requirements.
