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.
