Product Description
Foxboro P0917TQ Invensys I/A Series FBM242 Discrete Output Module
Product Overview
- The Foxboro P0917TQ, also known as the FBM242, is a Discrete Output Module from the Invensys I/A Series (now part of Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS). This module is designed to provide 16 discrete output channels for controlling field devices such as relays, solenoids, valves, or other actuators in industrial processes. It is used in applications such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and power generation to deliver reliable on/off control within the I/A Series control system.
