The Foxboro FBM215 P0917TQ is a high - performance output module applied in industrial automation systems. Here is the detailed information in English:
The Foxboro FBM215 P0917TQ is an output module belonging to the Foxboro I/A series. It is designed to provide reliable and precise control for various industrial applications and can be seamlessly integrated into existing industrial automation systems.
- Operating Voltage: Usually 24 V DC (there are also different voltage - specified versions in some sources, but 24 V DC is more common).
- Output Type: Supports standard 4 - 20 mA analog output and digital HART frequency - shift - keying (FSK) signal superimposed on 4 - 20 mA analog output.
- Number of Channels: 8 isolated output channels.
- Output Frequency: Up to 2 kHz.
- Communication Protocol: Supports RS422 and push - pull communication protocols, and can communicate with HART field devices through dedicated FSK modems on each output channel.
- Isolation: Galvanic isolation between all output channels, and isolation from ground and module logic.
- Enclosure Rating: IP66, with seawater - resistant materials, suitable for harsh environments.
- Dimensions: Height is 102 mm (4 in) without mounting lugs and 114 mm (4.5 in) including mounting lugs, width is 45 mm (1.75 in), depth is 104 mm (4.11 in).
- Multiple Output Options: Each of the 8 isolated output channels can provide either a standard 4 - 20 mA analog output signal or a digital HART signal superimposed on the analog output, which has strong versatility.
- HART Communication Support: It can use the HART protocol based on the Bell 202 standard. The FSK frequency - shift - keying signal is used to superimpose an audio digital signal with an amplitude of 0.5 mA on the low - frequency 4 - 20 mA analog signal for two - way digital communication, with a data transmission rate of 1.2 kbps. It can transmit main variables and control information through 4 - 20 mA, and can access additional measurement, process parameters, equipment configuration, calibration, and diagnostic information through the HART protocol when needed.
- High - reliability Design: The module's design takes into account the challenges of various industrial environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, and vibration. It has excellent stability and reliability. The isolated design of each channel can effectively prevent interference between channels.
- Easy Installation and Maintenance: With a compact design, it can save space on the control panel and is suitable for new installations and upgrades. The front of the module is equipped with LEDs to provide visual indications of the module's operating status and channel communication activities, which is convenient for operators to monitor and troubleshoot.
- Process Control Systems: It is widely used in chemical, petroleum, power and other industries to control process parameters such as temperature, pressure and flow, ensuring the stable operation of the production process.
- Machine Automation: Applicable to various automated production equipment, realizing the control and monitoring of equipment operation, such as speed control and position feedback.
- Measurement and Monitoring Applications: Can be used for measuring and monitoring physical quantities in industrial production, and sending measurement results to the control system for analysis and processing.
- Heavy Industries: Such as in steel mills, it is used for the control and monitoring of various production links, helping to improve production efficiency and product quality.
