Product Overview

The Foxboro FBM202 (Part Number: P0916AC) serves as a precision thermal interface for the I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). This module collects data from eight independent, isolated thermocouple or millivolt (mV) sensors, providing critical temperature feedback for complex process loops. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original factory stock, ensuring the highest measurement accuracy and long-term stability for refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities worldwide.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• High-Integrity Signal Isolation: Every input channel features independent galvanic isolation. This protective barrier eliminates ground loop interference and safeguards the internal DCS logic against field-side electrical surges of up to 600 V AC.

• Precision Cold Junction Compensation: The module interfaces with specialized termination assemblies to provide automatic cold junction compensation. This ensures laboratory-grade temperature readings even in harsh industrial environments with fluctuating ambient conditions.

• Redundant Data Security: The P0916AC connects to the redundant 2 Mbps Foxboro fieldbus. This architecture ensures the control processor maintains visibility of critical temperature data even if a single communication path fails.

• Rugged Industrial Build: Conformal coating on the internal circuitry meets ISA Class G3 standards. The module resists corrosion and atmospheric contaminants, making it the preferred choice for offshore platforms and wastewater treatment facilities.

• Effortless Maintenance: The hot-swappable design allows technicians to replace the module on a powered baseplate. This capability eliminates process downtime and simplifies hardware updates without disturbing existing field wiring.

FAQs

• What is the difference between P0916AC and other FBM202 versions?

  The P0916AC is a standard part number for the 8-channel isolated thermocouple/mV input module. It typically features different terminal base compatibility or revision levels tailored for specific I/A Series baseplate generations.

• Does this module support both J and K type thermocouples?

  Yes. You can configure each channel independently via the I/A Series engineering software to support various thermocouple types, including B, E, J, K, N, R, S, and T, as well as direct millivolt inputs.

• Is this a genuine original product?

  Absolutely. We provide this module as 100% Brand New original Foxboro equipment. It arrives in its original factory-sealed packaging to guarantee integrity and performance.

• Can this module be mounted on a DIN rail?

  The FBM202 seats directly into a Foxboro modular baseplate. The baseplate itself can then be mounted on a standard DIN rail or within a 19-inch rack using a dedicated mounting kit.
