FBM237 Foxboro P0914XS, 0 to 20 mA Output Module (Redundant Ready)

Description:

The FBM237 P0914XS, 0 to 20 mA Output Module contains eight channels.The outputs are galvanically isolated from other channels and ground. The module can be used as a single unit, or as a redundant pair (two FBM237s).
When used as a redundant pair, field output signals are wired to one common termination assembly. Each module in the pair independently holds the output(s) at its specified output value(s).
FEATURES
The key features of the FBM237 are:
- Eight 20 mA dc analog output channels
- Each output channel is galvanically isolated
- Single or redundant modules
- Compact, rugged design suitable for enclosure in Class G3 (harsh) environments
- Termination Assemblies (TAs) for locally or remotely connecting field wiring to the FBM237
- TA for use with Output Bypass Station to maintain outputs during maintenance operations
- 3-tier termination assembly for per channel internally and/or externally loop powered transmitters.

Frequently Asked Questions:
1.Where does the FBM237 P0914XS mount on?
The FBM237 mounts on a modular baseplate. The baseplate can be mounted on a DIN rail (horizontally or vertically), or horizontally on a 19-inch rack using a mounting kit. Redundant modules must be located in odd and even adjacent positions on the baseplate (positions 1 and 2, 3 and 4, 5 and 6, or 7 and 8) along with the appropriate redundancy adapter. Refer to Standard 200 Series Baseplates (PSS 31H-2SBASEPLT) for details. Alternatively, a non-redundant FBM237 mounts on a 100 Series conversion mounting structure. Refer to 100 Series Conversion Mounting Structures (PSS 31H-2W8) for details.

2.What is FBM237 P0914XS's physical design?
FBM237 has a modular design, with a rugged extruded aluminum exterior for physical protection of the circuits. Enclosures specially designed for mounting the FBMs provide various levels of environmental protection, up to harsh environments (Class G3), per ISA Standard S71.04.

3.What are visual indicators of FBM237 P0914XS?
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) incorporated into the front of the module provide visual status indications of fieldbus module functions.
