Product Description
Foxboro FBM242 RH916TA Invensys I/A Series Discrete Output Module
Product Overview
- The Foxboro FBM242 RH916TA is a Discrete Output Module from the Invensys I/A Series (now part of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS). This module provides 16 externally powered discrete outputs, designed to interface with field devices such as relays, solenoids, or actuators. It is used in industrial automation applications, including oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation, for reliable control of binary signals within the I/A Series control system. The RH916TA is a specific variant of the FBM242, likely indicating a revision or configuration for compatibility with certain termination assemblies or system requirements.
