Product Use:

The FOXBORO FBM219 module is primarily used in industrial process control applications where data acquisition and real-time control are crucial. It is used in Distributed Control Systems (DCS) to:

• Monitor sensor data (temperature, pressure, flow, etc.)
• Interact with field devices like transmitters, sensors, actuators, and valves
• Provide communication over various industry-standard protocols like HART or FOUNDATION Fieldbus
• Offer flexibility in dealing with both analog (e.g., temperature, pressure) and digital (e.g., on/off, status) signals
• Enable centralized data collection, control, and process management

Typical applications include:

• Oil and Gas: Monitoring pressure, temperature, and flow in pipelines and refineries
• Chemical Plants: Control of various chemical process variables such as pressure, level, and temperature
• Power Generation: Energy generation, turbine control, and process flow monitoring
• Water and Wastewater Treatment: Monitoring and controlling flow rates, chemical injection, and water treatment processes

This module is a key part of Foxboro’s I/A Series that integrates various control elements to improve process automation, reduce downtime, and increase the efficiency of operations.
