Product Details:

FOXBORO FBM17B is a 16-channel 24VDC solid-state discrete output fieldbus module for FOXBORO I/A Series DCS system. It receives control commands from DCS controller and sends 24VDC switching signals to operate solenoid valves, indicator lamps and low-power pilot relays. This module adopts galvanic channel isolation and conformal coated PCB, protecting electronic components from vibration, dust, humidity and electromagnetic interference in harsh industrial environments. It communicates over redundant HDLC fieldbus. Built-in continuous self-diagnosis monitors channel overload, short circuit and load fault, triggers alarms so technicians can quickly locate wiring or actuator issues and reduce plant downtime. FBM17B supports hot swap and is widely used for DCS maintenance, spare parts replacement and system retrofit projects. Every FOXBORO FBM17B module passes factory testing and calibration before shipment.

FBM17B doubles the digital output capacity compared with FBM17A, packing 16 isolated 24VDC solid-state channels within a single rack slot. This high-density design is ideal for cabinets with limited space that need a large number of on-off control points. Solid-state outputs have no mechanical contacts, so they are well suited for high-frequency switching applications such as batch valve sequencing. It serves as spare replacement for legacy I/A DCS systems requiring expanded digital output capacity. Every FOXBORO FBM17B module passes factory testing and calibration to guarantee reliable process control performance.
