Foxboro FBM233 P0926GX Field Device System Integrator Module Dual-ported Field I/O Devices And The I/A Series System

Foxboro FBM233 P0926GX Field Device System Integrator Module dual-ported field I/O devices and the I/A Series system

Product Details:

Additional Information:

The FBM233 offers control block support for the following standard I/A Series® system Distributed Control Interface (DCI) block types:

Description:

Each FBM233 module has a single 10/100Mbps copper Ethernet connection and a single RJ-45 connector on the front of the module for connectivity to dual-ported Ethernet devices. The FBM233 is connected to Ethernet switches or hubs in order to communicate with one external device or up to 64 external devices.

Data communication between the FBM233 and field devices are through the RJ-45 connector located on the front of the FBM233 module. The RJ-45 connector of the FBM233 can be connected through hubs, or through Ethernet switches to the field devices (refer to “ETHERNET HUBS AND SWITCHES” on page 7). The FBM233 is connected to Ethernet switches or hubs in order to communicate with one external device or up to 64 external devices.

The FBM233 collects the required data from the devices, performs the necessary conversions, and then stores the converted data in its database for incorporation into the I/A Series plant management functions and operator displays. Data may also be written out to the individual devices from the I/A Series system.

The FBM233 has a compact design, with a rugged extruded aluminum exterior for physical and electrical protection of the circuits. Enclosures, specially designed for mounting the FBMs, provide various levels of environmental protection, up to Class G3 harsh environments per ISA Standard S71.04.

The Fieldbus Communication Module (FCM100Et or FCM100E) or the Field Control Processor (FCP270) interface the redundant 2 Mbps module Fieldbus used by the FBMs. The FBM233 accepts communication from either path of the 2 Mbps module Fieldbus - should one path fail or be switched at the system level, the module continues communication over the active path.
