Product Description:

The P0917XV is a high-reliability Termination Assembly (TA) designed to interface with Foxboro I/A Series HART output modules (FBM215 and FBM218). It provides a secure physical termination point for 8 isolated output channels, handling both 4 to 20 mA analog signals and HART digital data (FSK for diagnostics). Ideal for controlling actuators and valve positioners, this assembly ensures stable and reliable connections in high-availability process loops.

• Compression-style screw terminals ensure vibration-resistant, secure electrical contacts.

• Supports redundant output configurations when used with the FBM218, ensuring fail-safe operation.

• Designed to maintain 600V AC galvanic isolation per channel to protect the system.

Technical Specifications:

Key Operational Features:

• Seamless Integration: Works with Foxboro Intelligent Field Device Configurator (IFDC) for remote valve characterization and partial stroke testing from the control room.

• Long-distance Transmission: Ensures reliable signal transmission for HART digital messages at 2 messages per second, over distances up to 3,000 meters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the FBM215 and FBM218 when using this TA?
A: The FBM215 is a single-module solution for 8 channels, while the FBM218 is a redundant pair of modules. The P0917XV supports both, but the FBM218 requires an additional redundant adapter (e.g., RH916QD) to bridge the signals.

Q: Can I use this for Thermocouple or RTD inputs?
A: No, the P0917XV is strictly an output termination assembly. For input signals, you would need a P0916BX or similar assembly.
