FBM217 FOXBORO
The FBM217 is a Foxboro fieldbus module with a high-speed analog input capability. It is designed to work with the I/A series system, which provides a flexible and reliable control solution for various industrial processes.
The FBM217 supports up to eight analog input channels, each of which can be independently configured for different signal types, including voltage, current, thermocouple, and resistance. The module also features a built-in temperature sensor, which can be used for cold-junction compensation when measuring thermocouples.
In addition to its analog input capabilities, the FBM217 supports HART communication, which allows it to interface with smart field devices that use the HART protocol. This makes it possible to access additional parameters and diagnostics information from connected devices, such as valve positioners and flow meters.
The FBM217 is designed to operate in harsh industrial environments, with a temperature range of -40°C to +70°C and a vibration resistance of up to 5 g. It is also compliant with various industry standards, including CE, FM, and UL.
