Product Description

The P0922VT (FBM214) is a high-performance Fieldbus Module designed for HART-enabled analog input applications within the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It supports the simultaneous acquisition of standard 4–20 mA analog signals and superimposed digital HART communication, enabling seamless integration of smart field devices.

By providing access to secondary variables and device diagnostics, the P0922VT enhances asset management and predictive maintenance capabilities. Each input channel is galvanically isolated to protect the control system from field-side electrical disturbances, ensuring high-accuracy and reliable data acquisition for critical process control loops.

Technical Specifications

Application

• Asset Management: Enables retrieval of diagnostic and secondary data from smart transmitters and control valves.

• Precision Process Control: Provides high-resolution analog input for flow, pressure, and temperature loops in refining and chemical processes.

• Remote Device Configuration: Allows field instrument configuration and calibration directly from the control room via HART communication.

FAQ

Does the P0922VT support redundant configurations?
Yes. The FBM214 can be installed in redundant pairs on compatible redundant baseplates to ensure continuous signal availability.

Can the P0922VT supply loop power to field devices?
No. The module is designed for signal acquisition only. Loop power is typically supplied by the baseplate or an external power source, depending on the termination assembly.
