Foxboro™ DCS FBM202 Thermocouple/mV Input Module I/O connectors 200 Series baseplate

Description FOXBORO FBM202

The FBM202 Thermocouple/mV Input contains eight thermocouple input channels, and one isolated RTD reference junction compensation channel (for terminal temperature sensing). Each thermocouple/mV channel accepts standard thermocouples for various temperature ranges, and each provides thermocouple burnout detection (up-scale). The inputs are galvanically isolated from other channels and ground.

The module performs the signal conversion required to interface the electrical input signals from the field sensors to the optionally redundant Fieldbus. It executes an Analog Input application program, which provides integration time and Rate of Change Limits configurable options.

FBM202 has a rugged extruded aluminum exterior for physical protection of the circuits. Enclosures specially designed for mounting the FBMs can provide various levels of environmental protection, up to harsh environments, per ISA Standard S71.04.
