TheFoxboro FBM214 (P0916DC)is a Hart Communication Input Interface Module designed for theI/A Series and EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS platforms. It provides eight input channels, each capable of supporting a standard 4-20mA analog signal combined with digital HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) data.
Specifications
Part Number:FBM214 / P0916DC
Input Channels:8 isolated channels
Input Signal:4 to 20 mA DC (Analog) with digital HART overlay
Input Impedance:250 ohms nominal
Resolution:15-bit
Accuracy:±0.03% of span
Communication Type:HART protocol (Version 5, 6, and 7 compatible)
Power Requirements:24VDC (sourced from the baseplate)
Isolation:Each channel is galvanically isolated from other channels and from the system logic.
Features
Dual-Signal Processing:Simultaneously captures the 4-20mA analog value and the digital HART signal, ensuring no loss of real-time process data during diagnostic polling.
HART Pass-Through:Enables seamless integration with Asset Management Circles (AMS) and field device tool (FDT) software for remote calibration and maintenance.
High-Accuracy Monitoring:Features high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion, providing the precise data necessary for tight process control and safety loops.
Hot-Swappable:Designed for easy replacement without powering down the Field Control Processor (FCP) or interrupting other modules on the same baseplate.
Galvanic Isolation:Provides superior protection against ground loops and electrical noise, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in long-distance field wiring.
Redundant Configuration:Supports redundant pairing when installed on a compatible redundant baseplate, maximizing system availability for critical process inputs.
