Product Overview

The P0916KH (FBM201) is a high-density 8-channel analog input module for the Foxboro I/A Series DCS. It converts signals from up to eight independent sensors into digital data for the control processor while providing galvanic isolation on each channel to prevent interference or ground loops.

Ideal for monitoring critical process variables such as temperature, pressure, and flow, the P0916KH ensures high signal integrity in industrial automation applications.

Detailed Technical Specifications

Key Features and Benefits

• Individual Channel Isolation
  Protects the DCS from field faults and maintains signal purity in high-noise environments.

• Hot-Swappable Design
  Enables replacement without powering down the baseplate, supporting continuous system operation.

• Software-Driven Calibration
  Eliminates manual potentiometers and reduces long-term signal drift.

• Integrated Diagnostics
  Continuously monitors module and field wiring health; reports “Out of Range” or “Module Fail” to the operator workstation.

Technical FAQ

Q: Does the P0916KH support HART communication?
A: No. This module handles standard analog input only. For HART-enabled applications, use the FBM214 series.

Q: How does 16-bit resolution improve control?
A: Sixteen-bit resolution divides the 20 mA input into 65,536 discrete steps, allowing the DCS to detect very small process changes, achieve tighter PID loop control, and improve product consistency.
