Product Description
Foxboro FBM216B P0927AJ Invensys I/A Series Redundant HART Communication Interface Module
Product Overview
- The Foxboro FBM216B P0927AJ is a Redundant HART Communication Interface Module from the Invensys I/A Series (now part of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS). This module provides 8 channels for HART (Highway Addressable Remote Transducer) communication, designed for redundant configurations to ensure high availability in critical industrial processes. It is used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation to integrate HART field devices with the I/A Series control system for precise monitoring and control.
