Foxboro P0972KT Field Communication Module

Brand: Foxboro

Module: P0972KT

Description: Field Communication Module

Product Orgin: USA

The DIN rail mounted FBM subsystem provides a reliable, high speed communications interface between the host control processor (for example the I/A Series control station) and field I/O sensors and actuators. It incorporates innovative equipment packaging, and the use of fiber optic and/or coaxial cabling between modules to allow local or remote distribution of process I/O points. The DIN rail mounted Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) are compact, high-performance distributed process I/O modules. They perform the signal conversion required to interface the electrical input signals to/from the field sensors to the optionally-fault-tolerant I/A Series control station. Communication between the FBMs the I/A Series control station is via Fieldbus Communication Modules (FCMs), which interface the 2 Mbps module Fieldbus used by the FBMs with the 10 Mbps Ethernet trunk Fieldbus used by the I/A Series control station. The FBMs automatically accept communication from either communication path (A or B) of the redundant Ethernet trunk Fieldbus. Thus, if one path fails, communication is not interrupted.
