FOXBORO FBM207B

Description

The FOXBORO FBM207B module, manufactured by Schneider Electric (formerly Invensys Foxboro), is a versatile interface module offering two functionalities:

Product Name: FBM207B Voltage Monitor/Contact Sense Input Module

Product Description:

The FBM207B acts as a dual-function module, configurable for either voltage monitoring or contact sense input.
In voltage monitoring mode, it can handle 16 separate DC or AC voltage inputs across various ranges (typically 15-60 VDC, 120/125 VAC/VDC, 240 VAC).
For contact sense, it functions as a 16-channel contact sensor for monitoring dry contact closures or solid-state switch signals, commonly used with 24 VDC inputs.
Each channel boasts galvanic isolation, meaning electrical signals are isolated from each other and from ground to prevent interference.
The module is compact and built for harsh environments (Class G3 rating).
