Product Description
The FBM222 (P0926TL) is a high-availability PROFIBUS-DP/PA interface module for Foxboro Evo and I/A Series DCS. It connects motor drives, remote I/O, and smart field instruments to the DCS, supporting single-port or fully redundant configurations for uninterrupted network communication.

Designed for mission-critical industrial applications, the FBM222 integrates PROFIBUS data via standard DCI blocks and works with redundant adapters to ensure maximum uptime. Its hot-swappable modular design allows maintenance without disrupting operations.

FAQs

How is physical redundancy handled?
The module pairs with the P0926XM Redundant Adapter and can link to dual terminal assemblies and redundant link modules (e.g., ABB RLM01) for a fault-tolerant network layer.

Can it be replaced while running?
Yes. The FBM222 supports hot-swapping, allowing the standby module to be replaced without interrupting communication.
