Foxboro FBM240 P0917GZ
Functional Features
  • Channel Configuration: A module with 8 input channels and 8 output channels, which can be used as a single or redundant module, providing flexible system configuration. In redundant configuration, a pair of redundant modules are combined to provide redundancy at the FBM layer, with field I/O wired to a common terminal block.

  • Discrete Input/Output: Eight discrete outputs can control external devices, while eight discrete inputs can read voltages on relay contacts. Each FBM output is monitored, and if an output is in an error state, the output channel is set to "BAD".

  • Output Contact Monitoring: Supports high-coverage output contact monitor readback and internal FBM fault detection, enabling timely fault detection and corresponding handling in both standalone and redundant operations.

  • Fault-Safe Configuration: Output safety offers configurable options, including digital output fault-safe fallback data (each of the eight digital outputs can specify a channel fallback value of 0 or 1), mask options (determining which outputs maintain current values and which assume fallback values), and fieldbus fault-safe delay time (the duration the FBM waits for CP communication before entering a communication fault).

  • Multiple Voltage Support: Supports switchable discrete relay outputs in specifications such as 10A (80 to 120V AC), 5A (80 to 125V DC), and 5A (15 to 30V DC). It also supports channel-isolated discrete I/O, such as 15-60V DC @2A fuse outputs and 15-60V DC inputs.

Technical Parameters
  • Voltage Monitoring Function: Input on-state voltage is 15 to 60V DC, and off-state voltage is 0 to 5V DC. The current for a single module is 1.4mA (typical) at 5 to 60V DC, and 2.8mA (typical) for redundant modules. Source resistance is limited to 1kΩ (max. at 15V DC) in the on-state and 100kΩ (min. at 60V DC) in the off-state.

  • Output Switch with External Source: Applied voltage up to 60V DC, load current up to 2.0A, and off-state leakage current up to 0.1mA.

Application Scenarios
  • Industrial Automation: Used in various industrial production lines to control the switching states of equipment such as motors and valves, enabling automated control and process optimization of production.

  • Power Industry: Applied in power systems like power plants and substations to monitor and control the operation of power equipment (e.g., circuit breaker switching, disconnector operations) to ensure stable power system operation.

  • Chemical Industry: Used in chemical production to control equipment such as feed valves, discharge valves, and agitator motors of chemical reactors, ensuring the safety and stability of chemical processes.

  • Water Treatment Industry: Applied in water treatment facilities (e.g., waterworks, sewage treatment plants) to control the start/stop of water pumps and valve openings, enabling automated control of water treatment processes to ensure water quality compliance.

Working Principle1. Signal Input and Electrical Processing
  • Input Channel Design: Typically includes multiple digital input channels (e.g., 16 channels), each connectable to switching signals (e.g., 24V DC or dry contact signals) from field devices.

  • Electrical Isolation: Electrical isolation between channels and from the system ground is achieved via optoelectronic isolation technology, preventing external interference (e.g., voltage fluctuations, surges) from affecting system stability and avoiding fault propagation between channels.

  • Signal Filtering and Shaping: Input signals are filtered by an RC filter to eliminate high-frequency noise, then shaped by a Schmitt trigger to convert irregular switching signals into standard digital levels (e.g., TTL/CMOS levels).

2. Signal Digitization and Processing
  • Analog-to-Digital Conversion (ADC): For partially quantized signals (e.g., threshold states of proximity switches), analog quantities (e.g., voltage amplitude) are converted to digital quantities via an internal ADC, though digital input modules prioritize logical judgment of on/off states.

  • Status Sampling: The module samples input channels at a fixed frequency (e.g., millisecond level), temporarily storing switching states (ON/OFF) in internal registers (e.g., latches) to ensure signal real-time performance.

  • Fault-Safe Mechanism: Supports configuration of input fail-safe states (e.g., default "0" or "1"), ensuring the system enters a preset safe state to avoid misoperations when signals are abnormal or the module fails.

3. Communication and Data Transmission
  • Fieldbus Communication: Communicates with controllers (FCM/FCP) via Foxboro's dedicated fieldbus (e.g., high-speed data link), following specific communication protocols (e.g., time-division multiplexing-based synchronous communication).

  • Data Packaging and Transmission: Sampled digital statuses are encapsulated into data packets containing channel addresses, status values, check codes, etc., and sent to the controller via the bus. The controller parses the data for logic operations (e.g., PLC programs) or status display.

  • Redundant Communication Design (if supported): Redundant bus connections can be configured in some scenarios, automatically switching to the backup bus when the main bus fails to ensure reliable data transmission.

4. Power Supply and System Interaction
  • Power Input: Uses a 24V DC power supply (with allowable voltage fluctuations) to power internal circuits (e.g., isolation circuits, logic chips), typically with low power consumption (e.g., several watts).

  • Interaction with Control Systems: Module parameters (including input types (dry/wet contacts), fail-safe modes, sampling frequencies, etc.) are configured via the controller's configuration software (e.g., Foxboro I/A Series software) to achieve flexible functional adaptation.
