Foxboro P0916AA Fieldbus Module

Foxboro P0916AA Fieldbus Module

Description

The 100 Series Fieldbus Module Upgrade subsystem allows you to convert existing Foxboro I/A™ systems with 100 Series FBMs and support equipment within your plant to use 200 Series FBMs and support equipment, while preserving much of the existing infrastructure and field I/O wiring.

The 100 Series Fieldbus Module (FBM) Upgrade subsystem provides a complete line of equipment to upgrade sites with existing 100 Series FBMs and Termination Cable Assemblies (TCAs) to their 200 Series equivalents. This allows sites to easily add other 200 Series FBMs, if it becomes necessary to add a wider range of field devices.
