Product Description
Foxboro P0400YE Invensys I/A Series FBM04 Thermocouple/RTD Input Module
Product Overview
- The Foxboro P0400YE, also known as the FBM04, is a Thermocouple/RTD Input Module from the Invensys I/A Series (now part of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS). This module is designed to interface with thermocouple, RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), and millivolt sensors to measure temperature or low-level voltage signals in industrial processes. It is used in applications such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation for accurate temperature monitoring within the I/A Series control system.
Technical Specifications
- The P0400YE FBM04 has the following specifications based on industry sources and Foxboro documentation:
