Discrete Input Module FBM217 P0914TR Foxboro

Description

The Discrete Input Module FBM217 P0914TR is a high-performance discrete input interface module designed for industrial automation systems, specifically integrated with distributed control systems (DCS). Its core function is to reliably collect, process, and convert discrete input signals from various voltage sources into digital signals for DCS recognition and processing. Key technical specifications include 32 isolated input channels, supporting input voltage ranges that include 15 to 60 V DC, 120 V AC/125 V DC, 240 V AC, and a redundant 24 V DC range of +5%, -10%. At 30 V DC input, it draws a typical current of 2.2 mA, with a maximum power consumption of 3 W at 24 V DC. Communication is enabled via a redundant 2 Mbps module field bus connected to associated FCM or FCP units. The module features a compact, rugged construction that meets Class G3 (severe environment) requirements, with two available size options: approximately 10.2 cm/11.4 cm (including mounting lugs) x 4.5 cm x 10.4 cm, or 90 x 90 x 26 mm, and a weight of 100 grams. It offers flexible installation, compatible with DIN rails or horizontal mounting in 19-inch racks using dedicated tools, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial settings.
