Foxboro FBM207C RH917GY Voltage Monitor/Contact Sense Input Modules

The DIN rail mounted FBMs accommodated by the baseplate are compact,

plug-in modular assemblies used to interface field devices with the host control

station. The FCMs, having the same form factor as the FBMs,

perform signal interface functions. For example, FCM10Es are used to interface

the Ethernet trunk Fieldbus with the 2 Mbps module Fieldbus, and FCM2Fs

are used for fiber opticcommunications extensions between baseplates.

The FBMs and FCMs plug onto the baseplate by means of their two,

48-pin connectors, and each is fastened in place by two screws.

The EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Field Control Processor 280 (FCP280) is a distributed,

optionally fault-tolerant, field-installable controller module.

The FCP280 performs regulation, logic, timing, and sequence control with

connected Foxboro DCS Fieldbus Modules (FBMs).

It also performs data acquisition, alarm detection, and notification.

The FCP280. through a chassis-mounted network adapter, is connects to the Foxboro DCS

control network with standard fibre optic or 100 Mbps copper cable (see figure below).

The FCP280 requires Foxboro DCS Control Core Services Software v9.0 or higher.

A system with the FCP280 and this software is called an EcoStruxure

The EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Field Mounted Intelligent Enclosure provides an

integrated solution designed to be mounted close to instruments in the field to reduce

cables. The Field Mounted Enclosure includes Universal Input/Output (UIO) modules,

power supplies, and Termination Assemblies (TAs) that are pre-installed and tested,

and can be connected to a wide range of field devices. The enclosure supports

Schneider Electric’s Flexible Lean Execution strategy, which shortens project

schedules and reduces the risk of startup delays.

The Field Mounted Intelligent Enclosure is designed to be mounted in the field, and

connects through redundant single mode fiber to the Field Control Processors located

in the Equipment Room Intelligent Enclosure. For more information, refer to

Equipment Room Intelligent Enclosure (PSS 41H-2I30).

The enclosure supports up to 64 standard Universal I/O channels in simplex,

redundant, or simplex and redundant combinations, and optionally accommodates

integration of third party PLCs using simplex or redundant Field Device System

Integration modules supporting Modbus TCP.

Asecond enclosure can be cascaded from the first enclosure using single mode fiber

or copper cable, saving on communication home run cable to the equipment room.

Field cables, communication cables, and power cables enter the enclosure through

cable glands or a multi-cable transit (optional) located at the bottom of the enclosure.

The channel-to-channel isolated Universal I/O Module supports DI, DO, AI, AO,

HART, NAMUR,Pulse, and 1 msSOEsignal types.

Field cables terminate directly on Termination Assemblies (TAs) with signal

conditioners for optional field signal processing. Refer to Termination Assemblies and

Signal Conditioners, page 8.

Terminals are provided to terminate spare field cable cores and screens. This rugged,

unpainted SS316L stainless steel enclosure can be mounted in harsh environmental

and hazardous areas

Foxboro DCS Process Automation System.

The FBM233 Redundant Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) module

provides an Ethernet interface between single- or dual-port field I/O devices

and the EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS.

Each FBM233 module has an RJ-45 connector (10/100Mbps copper

Ethernet connection) on the front of the module for connecting dual-port

Ethernet devices.

The FBM233 connects to an Ethernet switch or hub to communicate with one

external device or up to 64 external devices.

The combination of a pair of modules provides redundancy at the fieldbus

module (FBM) level. In this configuration, one FBM233 is the master and the

other is the tracking module. Input points on the control station are updated

from device input points received on the network connected to the master.

Device output points (depending on the I/O driver) are written by both the

master and the trace module.
