FOXBORO FBM223 P0917HD Communication Interface Module

The FBM223 PROFIBUS-DP™ Communication Interface Module provides an interface between PROFIBUS-DP slave devices and the I/A Series® system.

The Fieldbus Communications Module (FCM) or the Field Control Processor (FCP) interfaces to the redundant 2 Mbps module Fieldbus used by the FBMs. The FBM223 accepts communication from either path (A or B) of the 2 Mbps Fieldbus — should one path fail or be switched at the system level, the module continues communication over the active path.

The module mounts on a Modular Baseplate, which accommodates up to four or eight FBMs. The Modular Baseplate is either DIN rail mounted or rack mounted, and includes signal connectors for the FBMs, redundant independent dc power connections, and I/O cable connections.

Features

Combination foot that supports 32 or 35 mm DIN rail mounting

Distinct family group color

Three-tier termination

Switch-selectable termination resistors.

Overview

Field I/O signals connect to the FBM subsystem via DIN rail mounted termination assemblies (TAs).

Each FBM223 PROFIBUS-DP Termination Assembly and its associated termination cable provide feedthrough connection between PROFIBUS-DP compliant field devices and the FBM223 PROFIBUS-DP Communication Input InterfaceModule.
