P0914SV Foxboro FBM203 Input Module Analog Isolated 8 Point RTD

P0914SV Foxboro FBM203 Input Module Analog Isolated 8 Point RTD

The FBM203/b/c/d Platinum/Nickel/Copper RTD Input Modules contain eight resistance temperature detector (RTD) input channels.

OVERVIEW

Each input channel of the FBM203/b/c modules accept a 2- or 3-wire RTD sensor input, within a 0 to 320 ohm (FBM203), 0 to 640 ohm (FBM203b), or 0 to 30 ohm (FBM203c) resistance range. Each input channel of the FBM203d accepts a 4-wire RTD sensor input, within a 0 to 320 ohm resistance range. Each analog input is galvanically isolated from other channels and ground.

The modules perform the signal conversion required to interface the electrical input signals from the field sensors to the optionally redundant fieldbus. The FBM203/b/c/d modules execute an analog input application program, which provides conversion time (on a per module basis) and configurable options for Rate of Change Limits.

Two types of passive termination assemblies are available for the FBM203/b/c modules:

• DIN rail mounted TAs, similar to those used with the other 200 Series FBMs
• Baseplate-mounted TA, which mounts directly onto the field I/O connectors of the 200 Series baseplate. These TAs provide field I/O wiring

When connected to the appropriate TAs, the FBM203/c/d modules provide functionality formerly provided by the 100 Series FBM I/O subsystem.

The FBM203 can be used with any version of Foxboro Evo™ Control Core Services software that supports I/O FBMs. TAs are available for FBM203 which support the functionality of the 100 Series FBM03A when used with a 3-wire RTD input.

FEATURES

Key features of FBM203/b/c/d modules are:

• Eight resistance temperature detector (RTD) input channels
• Each analog input is galvanically isolated
• Rugged design suitable for enclosure in Class G3 (harsh) environments
• Execution of an analog input application program that provides conversion time and configurable options for Rate of Change Limits
• High accuracy achieved by sigma-delta data conversions for each channel
• Termination Assemblies (TAs) for locally or remotely connecting field wiring to the FBM203/b/c/d.
