Functional features

Indicator:The light-emitting diode(LED)indicator is installed on the front of the component to provide the operating status display of the fieldbus component function

Modular design:The component can be plugged/replaced at will without changing the terminal cable or power and communication cable of the field equipment

Redundant communication:Supports redundant communication paths.Once a path fails or is switched by the system,the component can continue to communicate through the active path

Environmental adaptability:Suitable for a wide range of working environment temperature and humidity,as well as different altitudes and pollution levels

Application scenarios

FOXBORO FBM217 is usually used in industrial automation and process control fields,such as chemical,petroleum,power,pharmaceutical and other industries.It can be used as part of a distributed control system(DCS)to collect,process and disseminate valuable information to meet the needs of factory automation and digitalization.
