Product Short Description

  • Input/Output Points:
    • 32-channel discrete input (32DI) for monitoring binary signals (e.g., switch status, alarm triggers).
    • Alternative configurations include 16-channel voltage monitoring (16DI) or 8-channel analog input (8AI) for temperature, pressure, or flow measurements.
  • Signal Types:
    • Supports dry contact or voltage-based signals (e.g., 24V DC, 48V DC).
    • Analog inputs compatible with 0–20 mA, 4–20 mA, 0–5V DC, or 0–10V DC standards.
  • Communication:
    • Integrated into the Foxboro I/A Series control network via CEX-Bus or FOXCOM protocols.
    • Optional PROFIBUS-DP, Foundation Fieldbus, or Ethernet connectivity for third-party system integration.

Description

  • Environmental Adaptability:
    • Operating Temperature: -20°C to +70°C (industrial-grade design for harsh environments).
    • Protection: IP20 rating (requires installation in protective cabinets).
  • Power Requirements:
    • 24V DC power supply with redundancy support for high-availability systems.

Functional Features

  • High Reliability:
    • Redundant architecture minimizes downtime in critical applications.
    • Hot-swappable design allows module replacement without system shutdown.
  • Flexible Configuration:
    • Modular structure supports mixed input/output types on a single chassis.
    • Software-configurable channels for rapid adaptation to process changes.
  • Diagnostics and Monitoring:
    • Built-in LED indicators for real-time status feedback (e.g., power, channel activity, faults).
    • Advanced self-diagnostics detect signal errors, line breaks, or short circuits.
  • Signal Integrity:
    • Optical isolation between channels prevents cross-talk and noise interference.
    • Filtering algorithms eliminate mechanical contact bounce or electrical noise.

Application Scenarios

  • Process Control:
    • Monitoring pump status, valve positions, and emergency shutdown signals in refineries or petrochemical plants.
    • Collecting temperature and pressure data from reactors or distillation columns.
  • Power Generation:
    • Supervising circuit breaker states, generator outputs, and grid synchronization in power plants.
  • Water Treatment:
    • Controlling pump operations, chemical dosing, and flow meters in municipal or industrial water systems.
  • Manufacturing Automation:
    • Integrating with PLC or DCS systems for assembly line monitoring or packaging equipment control.

Industry Compliance

  • Meets IEC 61131-3 standards for programmable logic controllers.
  • Certified for ATEX Zone 2 (hazardous area use) and NEMA 4X (corrosion resistance).
