Product Name

FOXBORO+FBM227 P0927AC Module

Product Description

The FOXBORO FBM227 module is an analog input/output (AI/AO) module designed for use in Foxboro’s I/A Series Distributed Control Systems (DCS). The module facilitates the connection of field devices (e.g., sensors, transmitters, actuators) to the control system, handling the conversion of field signals into a format usable by the control system.

• P0927AC refers to the specific product or part number and often indicates the module’s version or configuration.

Product Parameters and Specifications

The FBM227 P0927AC module is typically designed for industrial environments where real-time data collection and control are essential. While exact specifications can vary depending on the version, here are the general parameters for an FBM227 module:

• Input Types:
  • 4-20 mA (current)
  • 0-10 V (voltage)
  • 0-20 mA
  • 1-5 V
  • RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector)
  • Thermocouples (depending on configuration)
• Output Types:
  • 4-20 mA (current output)
  • 0-10 V (voltage output)
• Number of Channels:
  The FBM227 can typically support 8, 16, or 32 channels per module, depending on configuration. Each channel can be individually configured for different input/output types.
• Accuracy:
  • Typically ±0.1% to ±0.2% of full scale, depending on the configuration and type of input/output.
• Signal Conditioning:
  The module often includes signal conditioning features to filter and scale signals for accurate processing.
• Communication Protocols:
  • The module uses a proprietary communication protocol to interface with the Foxboro I/A Series DCS.
• Power Requirements:
  • Typically powered from the control system, requiring 24V DC or other system-specified voltages.
• Operating Temperature Range:
  • Common ranges are from 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F).
• Enclosure:
  • The module typically comes in a rack-mounted configuration or as part of a field-mounted assembly.

Product Use

The FOXBORO FBM227 P0927AC module is primarily used in industrial process control and automation systems, typically found in sectors such as:

• Oil and Gas: For monitoring and controlling flow, temperature, pressure, and other process variables.
• Chemical Manufacturing: Used in precise control of chemical reactions, mixing processes, and environmental monitoring.
• Power Generation: To handle sensor data related to turbines, boilers, or other power-generating equipment.
• Water Treatment: Monitoring and controlling pumps, valves, and other equipment in water and wastewater systems.
• Refining & Petrochemical: For controlling distillation, temperature, and flow rates in large-scale manufacturing processes.
