Foxboro P0973CN I/A Series Expansion Backplane Module

Description

• Environmental Parameters
  • Its operating temperature range is -40°C to 70°C, and the storage temperature ranges from -55°C to 85°C, adapting to extreme temperature conditions in both on-site operation and warehouse storage.
  • It maintains stable performance in high-humidity, dusty and other harsh industrial environments, without being affected by common on-site environmental interference factors.

Function Features

• Strong Compatibility with Multiple Modules

  It is highly compatible with various modules of the Foxboro Evo system, including field control processors such as FCP 280 and FCP 270, field device controller FDC 280, field communication modules like FCM 100ET and FCM 100E, as well as fieldbus expansion modules and isolator/filter modules. The keyed positions dedicated to specific CP-type modules prevent incorrect insertion of modules and ensure accurate and reliable connections.

• Flexible Expansion Capability

  It is equipped with up to 16 slots that can accommodate multiple expansion modules at the same time. Users can add I/O modules, communication modules and other functional modules according to actual business needs, which directly expands the data processing capacity and control functions of the original system without large-scale modification of the existing control framework.

• High Reliability and Stable Operation

  The passive backplane design of the module reduces the risk of active component failures, greatly improving the stability and anti-interference ability of signal and power transmission. The dual 24V DC power input design ensures uninterrupted power supply for the entire backplane and the installed modules, and its rugged material and sealed structure further enhance its ability to withstand harsh industrial environments.

• Easy Installation and Maintenance

  The modular design and multiple DIN rail installation options simplify the on-site assembly process. When a certain connected module malfunctions, it can be quickly removed and replaced from the corresponding slot without affecting the normal operation of other modules. Meanwhile, its backward compatibility with existing I/O subsystems avoids the need for overall replacement of the original system during upgrades, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

Application Scenarios

• Oil and Gas Industry

  It is widely used in oil drilling platforms and refineries. It serves as a backplane to connect modules that monitor parameters such as oil pressure, pipeline temperature and gas flow. It integrates the collected on-site signals and transmits them to the central control system, which adjusts the operation of valves and pumps in real time according to the data to ensure the safety and efficiency of oil and gas extraction, transportation and refining processes.

• Chemical Manufacturing Industry

  It is installed in the control system of chemical workshops, matching with modules that monitor reactor temperature, material concentration and distillation tower pressure. It provides stable installation and signal transmission channels for these modules, ensuring that key process parameters are accurately fed back to the upper-level controller. The controller relies on these data to regulate feeding speed and reaction time, avoiding safety accidents caused by parameter deviations.

• Power Industry

  It is applied in thermal power plants and hydropower stations, carrying modules responsible for monitoring boiler temperature, steam turbine pressure and cooling water flow. It realizes the integrated transmission of power and data between each monitoring module and the central control platform. The platform adjusts fuel injection volume and cooling system parameters based on the transmitted data to maintain the stable operation of power generation equipment and ensure continuous power supply to the power grid.

• Food and Beverage Industry

  It is integrated into food processing production lines such as dairy pasteurization and beverage filling. It connects modules that monitor parameters like sterilization temperature, ingredient mixing ratio and filling flow. It ensures the stable transmission of data in each production link, allowing the control system to adjust equipment operation in a timely manner, which helps maintain consistent product quality and meet strict food safety production standards.

• Papermaking Industry

  It is used in papermaking and pulp production workshops. It is matched with modules that collect signals such as pulp concentration, roller temperature and paper machine speed. It provides reliable signal and power transmission support for these modules, enabling the control system to precisely regulate the papermaking process. This ensures the uniformity of paper thickness and quality, and improves the stability and efficiency of the papermaking production line.
