Foxboro FBM218 Redundant Output Interface Module

Overview

The Foxboro FBM218 is a redundant output interface module specifically designed for the FOXBORO I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). This module ensures the continuous operation of field devices, such as actuators and valves, by providing two independent output signals. Each signal can be configured to deliver 4-20 mA or 0-5 V. Moreover, the FBM218 offers seamless integration into existing industrial automation systems. By supporting redundancy, this module ensures that your operations remain uninterrupted even if one output channel fails.

Key Features

• Redundant Output: The FBM218 provides two independent output channels, enhancing system reliability and ensuring continued operation.
• Galvanic Isolation: With galvanic isolation between the output channels and ground, the FBM218 protects against electrical noise and interference.
• Compact and Rugged Design: Its robust design makes the module ideal for use in harsh industrial environments, offering reliability even under extreme conditions.
• Advanced Output Program Execution: The module supports output value ramping, alarm outputs, and fail-safe operation, making it adaptable to various control strategies.
• High Accuracy: Each output channel uses a 16-bit DAC to ensure precise and reliable output signals.
