FOXBORO FBM202

Description

The FOXBORO FBM202 module, also manufactured by Schneider Electric (formerly Invensys Foxboro)

Product Name:

FBM202 Thermocouple/mV Input Module

Product Description:

The FBM202 specializes in processing thermocouple and millivolt (mV) signals.
It features eight dedicated channels for these types of inputs.
Unlike the FBM201’s universal current input, the FBM202 offers better accuracy for temperature measurement applications.
It also includes an isolated RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) reference junction compensation channel for improved temperature readings.
The module interfaces with the Fieldbus network, which is a communication protocol commonly used in industrial automation systems.

Product Parameters and Specifications:

Number of Channels: 8 (Thermocouple/mV)
Input Range: Thermocouple and mV dependent (specific ranges will be in the datasheet)
Isolation: Galvanic isolation between channels and ground
Accuracy: Optimized for precise temperature measurement
Enclosure Rating: Suitable for Class G3 (harsh) environments

Product Use:

The FOXBORO FBM202 is ideal for industrial applications where temperature monitoring is crucial.

Here are some examples:

Power plants
Chemical processing facilities
Oil and gas refineries
Manufacturing processes
By converting thermocouple and mV signals from temperature sensors into digital data, the FBM202 enables control systems to precisely monitor and regulate temperatures within a process.
