Product Description
The FBM237 (P0914XS) is an 8-channel analog output module designed for the Foxboro I/A Series DCS. It converts digital control commands into high-accuracy 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA DC analog output signals for precise control of field actuators such as valves, dampers, and motor speed controllers.
Engineered for mission-critical applications, the FBM237 includes output-to-readback diagnostics to verify that commanded output values match actual loop currents. Galvanic isolation between each output channel and the system bus protects control electronics from ground loops and electrical transients, ensuring long-term reliability in harsh industrial environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the FBM237 (P0914XS) behave during a communication failure?
The module supports programmable fail-safe behavior. Upon loss of system communication, each output channel can be configured to hold the last value, drop to 0 mA, or transition to a predefined safe output, ensuring controlled and predictable process behavior.
