Product Description
The Foxboro FBM216 (P0917XQ) is an advanced analog input module for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System. It supports HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication, enabling simultaneous transmission of 4–20 mA analog signals and digital diagnostic data.
Each of the eight channels is galvanically isolated, protecting control logic from ground loops, electrical noise, and high-voltage transients in harsh industrial environments.
Technical Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Input Channels | 8 individually isolated channels |
| Signal Type | 4–20 mA DC with HART digital signal |
| Input Impedance | 250 Ω (nominal) |
| Maximum Input Current | 30 mA DC |

Functional Overview
Unlike standard analog input modules, the FBM216 allows remote calibration, device configuration, and diagnostic data retrieval directly from the control system. This reduces field maintenance effort and enhances predictive maintenance and asset health monitoring within the DCS.
FAQ
Does the FBM216 supply loop power to transmitters?
No. The FBM216 is intended for externally powered loops or requires a separate power supply for field devices.
What is the advantage of the P0917XQ revision?
The P0917XQ hardware revision provides improved digital noise filtering and enhanced thermal dissipation compared to earlier versions.
