Foxboro FBM214 HART Communication Input Interface Module

The Foxboro FBM214 is an 8-channel HART Communication Input Interface Module. It is part of the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). This module is ideal for interfacing with HART-enabled field devices, enabling both analog and digital communication.

Key Features

• Eight Input Channels: Each channel accepts a 4-20mA analog signal or a digital HART signal superimposed on a 4-20mA signal.
• HART Compatibility: Supports bi-directional digital communication with HART field devices.
• Analog to Digital Conversion: Uses sigma-delta conversion for high accuracy.
• Galvanic Isolation: Ensures isolation between channels and the system.
• Part of the Foxboro I/A Series: Integral to the InFusion Enterprise Control System.
