Product Details:

FOXBORO FBM13 is a piggyback expansion discrete input module for FOXBORO I/A Series DCS system, specially designed to pair with FBM08 main module to expand input channel capacity. It collects 120VAC on-off contact signals from field limit switches, relay auxiliary contacts and equipment status sensors. This expansion card relies on FBM08 for fieldbus communication with the DCS controller, adopting galvanic channel isolation and conformal coated PCB, protecting electronic components from vibration, dust, humidity and electromagnetic interference in heavy industrial environments. Built-in continuous self-diagnosis monitors channel wiring faults and communication status in real time, triggers alarm once abnormal condition occurs, helping maintenance staff quickly locate field signal faults and reduce plant downtime. This FBM13 piggyback module supports hot swap and is widely used for DCS system maintenance, spare parts replacement and control system retrofit projects. Every FOXBORO FBM13 module passes strict factory testing and calibration before shipment to guarantee stable signal acquisition.
