Product Details:

FOXBORO FBM16 is a piggyback pulse input expansion module for FOXBORO I/A Series DCS system, designed to stack with FBM11 main pulse input card to expand pulse counting channels. It collects pulse and frequency signals from turbine flowmeters and speed sensors, supports flow accumulation and rotation speed measurement. This module adopts galvanic channel isolation and conformal coated PCB, protecting components from vibration, dust, humidity and electromagnetic interference in harsh industrial environments. It communicates with DCS controller through FBM11 over redundant HDLC fieldbus. Built-in continuous self-diagnosis detects sensor faults and communication errors, triggers alarm for fast troubleshooting to reduce plant downtime. FBM16 supports hot swap and is widely used for DCS maintenance, spare parts replacement and system retrofit projects. Every FOXBORO FBM16 module passes factory testing and calibration before shipment.

This FBM16 piggyback card extends the pulse acquisition capacity of FBM11, delivering high resolution pulse counting for flow totalization and rotary equipment speed monitoring. Its stacked piggyback installation design expands channel density in the DCS cabinet without adding extra card slots. It is commonly used in pipeline flow metering and turbine machinery monitoring, and can replace old expansion cards for legacy I/A DCS systems. Every FOXBORO FBM16 module passes factory testing and calibration to guarantee reliable process control performance.
