FBM214 high-density analog input module
The FBM214 is a high-density analog input module developed by Foxboro for its I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It is designed to collect multiple low-level analog signals from field sensors (such as thermocouples, RTDs, and millivolt transmitters) with high precision, making it ideal for temperature and process variable monitoring in industrial environments. Below is its detailed information:
- Input Channels: 16 independent analog input channels (configurable for different signal types).
- Supported Input Signals:
- Thermocouples: J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N (with cold junction compensation).
- RTDs: Pt100, Pt1000, Cu100 (3-wire or 4-wire configuration, lead resistance compensation).
- Millivolt signals: ±10mV to ±100mV (e.g., from strain gauges or differential pressure transmitters).
- Current signals: 4-20mA (via external shunt resistors).
- Resolution: 16-bit (ensures high-precision measurement of small signal variations).
- Accuracy:
- Thermocouples: ±0.1°C (typical, at 0°C reference).
- RTDs: ±0.05°C (typical, over -100°C to +200°C range).
- Millivolt signals: ±0.02% of full scale.
- Sampling Rate: Up to 10 samples per second per channel (configurable for faster/slower rates based on application needs).
- Power Supply: 24VDC ±10% (power consumption: ≤10W, compatible with I/A Series rack power modules like P0916JP).
