FBM232 FOXBORO
The FBM232 provides an Ethernet interface between the Foxboro Evo or I/A Series system and the Triconex Safety System. Refer to FBM232 Field Device System Integrator Module, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Single (PSS 21H-2Z32 B4).
The Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) Triconex® Integrator driver integrates Tricon™ and Trident™
devices using the Triconex System Access Application (TSAA) protocol into Foxboro Evo™ or I/A Series™
systems.
FEATURES

HARDWARE
The FDSI Triconex Integrator driver can be
downloaded to one of the following FBMs,
depending on redundancy requirements:
The FBM232 provides an Ethernet interface
between the Foxboro Evo or I/A Series system
and the Triconex Safety System. Refer to
FBM232 Field Device System Integrator Module,
10/100 Mbps Ethernet, Single (PSS 21H-2Z32
B4).
Two FBM233s can be used to implement a
redundant Ethernet interface between the
I/A Series system and the Triconex Safety
System. Refer to FBM233 Field Device System
Integrator Module, 10/100 Mbps Ethernet,
Redundant (PSS 21H-2Z33 B4).
OPERATION
The FBM232/233 collects the required data from the
devices, performs the necessary conversions, and
then stores the converted data in its database for
incorporation into the plant management functions
and operator displays. Data may also be written out
to the individual devices from the Foxboro Evo or
I/A Series system.
