📘 Product Overview
| Field | Details |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer | Foxboro (by Schneider Electric) |
| Part Number | P0916RB (superseded by RH916RB) |
| Product Type | Fieldbus Baseplate Terminator |
| Function | Terminates the 2 Mbps HDLC Module Fieldbus at the CP end or the last 200 Series baseplate in a daisy chain when Time Strobe or split A/B fieldbus cables are not required |
| System Compatibility | Foxboro Evo Process Automation System, Standard 200 Series Subsystem |
⚙️ Functional Specifications
| Feature | Specification |
|---|---|
| Role | Terminates the 2 Mbps HDLC Module Fieldbus to ensure proper signal integrity in a daisy-chained configuration |
| Application | Used at the control processor (e.g., FCP280, FCP270) end or the last FBM-supporting baseplate in the chain when no Time Strobe or A/B split cables are needed |
| Fieldbus Type | 2 Mbps HDLC Module Fieldbus for 200 Series FBMs; not compatible with 268 Kbps Fieldbus for 100 Series FBMs |
| Connector Compatibility | Connects to A/B Module Fieldbus connectors on 200 Series baseplates (shielded twisted-pair cables) |
| Usage Limitation | Not used when Time Strobe signals or A/B fieldbus splitting is required (e.g., with RH926KW, RH924ZJ, RH928CY, or RH926KZ terminators/splitters) |
| Baseplate Compatibility | Compatible with FBM-supporting baseplates (2, 4, 8 positions: RH926KE, RH926HM, RH926HT, etc.) and FCP270/FCP280 baseplates (RH924YL, P0926HC, etc.), except the dual cable FCP280 baseplate (RH100JX) for 100 Series FBMs |
| Installation | Plugs into the Module Fieldbus connector on the baseplate; no additional configuration required |
