schneiderFBM232 Field Device System Integrator Module, 10/ 100 Mbps Ethernet, Single PSS 41H-2S232

Distributed Control Interface (DCI) block types:

The DCI blocks are configured just like other Foxboro DCS control blocks. The DCI

blocks address and read/write data from/to the addressed field device.

Standard, Rugged Design

The FBM232 has a rugged extruded aluminum exterior for physical and electrical

protection of the circuits. Enclosures, specially designed for mounting the FBMs,

provide various levels of environmental protection, up to Class G3 harsh

environments per ISA Standard S71.04.

Modular Baseplate Mounting

The module mounts on a Modular Baseplate, which accommodates up to four or eight

FBMs. The Modular Baseplate is either DIN rail mounted or rack mounted. The

Modular Baseplate includes signal connectors for the FBMs, provides connections for

independent dc power supplies, I/O cable connections, and 2 Mbps Module Fieldbus

connections.

Easy Removal/Replacement

The module can be removed or replaced without removing power.
