- Device Capacity: Supports up to 64 field devices per module
- Communication Protocol: Ethernet-based integration with FOUNDATION Fieldbus HSE, HART-IP, Modbus TCP/IP
- System Compatibility: Foxboro I/A Series, Evo Process Automation System
- Redundancy: Dual Ethernet ports for fault-tolerant network architecture
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C (32°F to 140°F)
- Power Consumption: 24 VDC nominal, 15W maximum
- Certifications: CE, UL, CSA, ATEX, IECEx for hazardous area deployment
Application Scenarios
The FBM232 module excels in process industries requiring high-density field device integration:
- Oil & Gas: Upstream production monitoring, pipeline SCADA, refinery process control
- Chemical Processing: Batch reactor control, continuous polymerization, distillation column optimization
- Power Generation: Boiler feedwater control, turbine monitoring, emissions compliance
- Pharmaceutical: Clean-in-place (CIP) systems, fermentation control, environmental monitoring
- Water Treatment: Municipal wastewater SCADA, desalination plant automation, distribution network management
Solution Advantages
Reduced Infrastructure Costs: Direct device integration eliminates marshalling cabinets, terminal blocks, and traditional I/O cards, cutting installation expenses by up to 40%.
Enhanced Diagnostics: Real-time device health monitoring with predictive maintenance alerts reduces unplanned downtime and extends asset lifecycle.
Scalable Architecture: Hot-swappable design and modular expansion support plant-wide deployments from 64 to 10,000+ field devices without system interruption.
Cybersecurity Compliance: Built-in encryption, role-based access control, and IEC 62443 certification protect critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
Integration & Deployment
The FBM232 integrates with Foxboro Control Core Services (CCS) and Evo Historian for unified process visualization, alarm management, and batch reporting. Configuration is streamlined through FoxCAE engineering tools with auto-discovery of connected devices. The module supports both greenfield installations and brownfield retrofits, with backward compatibility to legacy FBM systems.
