Foxboro FBM215 8-Channel HART Communication Analog Output Module

Product Short Description

Product Name: Foxboro FBM215 8-Channel HART Communication Analog Output Module
Product Introduction: A HART-capable analog output module providing 8 channels of 4–20 mA control signals with superimposed HART communication. It enables closed-loop control of HART-enabled valves, actuators, and positioners while supporting bi-directional digital communication for diagnostics and configuration.

Technical Specifications:
- Channels: 8 galvanically isolated analog output channels (4–20 mA + HART).
- Output Signal: 4–20 mA DC; 750 Ω max load; ±0.05% of span accuracy.
- HART Communication: Supports HART Versions 5, 6, 7; 1200 baud; 2 messages/sec; parity/CRC error checking.
- Resolution: 13 bits; max rate-of-change: 20 mA in 60 ms.
- Isolation: 600 V AC galvanic isolation between channels and ground.
- Power: 24 V DC ±5%; 7 W max power consumption.
- Environment: Operating -20°C to +70°C; Class G3 harsh environment rated.
Features:
- 8 isolated 4–20 mA outputs for control valves, actuators, and positioners.
- Bi-directional HART communication for device configuration, diagnostics, and asset management.
- High accuracy and stability for precise process control.
- LED indicators for module status and channel communication activity.
- Compatible with Foxboro I/A Series redundant fieldbus and termination assemblies.
Applications: Process control loops (flow, pressure, temperature, level) in chemical, oil/gas, power, and water/wastewater industries; control of HART-enabled control valves, actuators, and smart positioners.
