Product Description
The Foxboro P0973JX is a high-performance Fieldbus Communications Module (FCM) designed to interface field-level control hardware with Ethernet-based networks in Foxboro I/A Series and Foxboro Evo DCS architectures. It enables fast, reliable transmission of critical process data with minimal latency, serving as the Ethernet gateway for 100 Series Fieldbus Modules (FBMs).
Built for mission-critical industrial automation, the P0973JX features ruggedized circuitry to withstand electrical noise and electromagnetic interference common in heavy industrial environments. By integrating legacy fieldbus systems into a plant-wide Ethernet infrastructure, it enhances system diagnostics, simplifies network management, and supports long-term system modernization.
Technical Specifications
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model Designation | P0973JX |
| Module Type | Fieldbus Communications Module (FCM) |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +60°C (+32°F to +140°F) |
Application Scenarios
The P0973JX is widely deployed in large-scale continuous process industries, including:
-
Chemical and petrochemical plants
-
Pulp and paper mills
-
Power generation facilities
It is commonly used to upgrade legacy I/A Series installations, enabling older 100 Series FBMs to communicate over modern copper or fiber Ethernet backbones while preserving existing field wiring and control logic.
Technical FAQ
Does the P0973JX support redundant network architectures?
Yes. In standard Foxboro I/A Series designs, P0973JX modules are typically installed in redundant pairs to provide high availability and network path redundancy.
What is the main advantage over older serial FCMs?
The P0973JX uses Ethernet-based communication, offering substantially higher bandwidth, lower latency, and easier integration with modern control and IT networks compared to legacy proprietary serial fieldbus modules.
