Product Overview
The FOXBORO FBM216 P0922VV is a redundant HART communication input interface module designed for advanced industrial automation systems. It processes both analog 4–20 mA signals and HART FSK digital communication, ensuring precise signal conversion and dependable data integrity. Moreover, its rugged aluminum housing and galvanic isolation make it ideal for use in harsh industrial environments where reliability is crucial.
Functional Highlights
- Dual Redundant Operation:
 Operates as a redundant pair at the FBM level, maintaining control during module failure.
- Channel Flexibility:
 Each of the 8 input channels supports analog or HART signal types with individual configuration.
- Accurate Conversion:
 Equipped with Sigma-Delta converters providing fast updates every 100 ms for high-precision measurements.
- HART Communication:
 Each input channel features an independent FSK modem supporting universal, common, and device-specific HART commands.
- Electrical Isolation:
 Group isolation between field, ground, and logic circuits prevents signal interference.
- Durable Design:
 Compact aluminum enclosure suitable for Class G3 environments, resisting humidity and corrosion.
- Flexible Power Options:
 Supports integrated isolated supply or external power via Cable Balun module to reduce crosstalk.
- Ease of Wiring:
 Termination Assemblies (TAs) allow local or remote wiring, improving installation efficiency.
