Built‑in function

FBM17 high‑level analog input module converts field‑side transmitter analog signals into digital data for Foxboro I/A‑Series DCS system. Channel‑by‑channel isolation design effectively eliminates ground‑loop interference. Open‑circuit detection helps identify broken field wiring faults. Hot‑swap supports online module replacement without system shutdown,widely applied for pressure,tank‑level and flow‑measurement‑loop maintenance in petrochemical,chemical and power‑plant facilities.

Product Brief

FBM17 belongs to Foxboro I/A Series legacy DCS analog‑input spare‑part family,obsolete original baseplate‑mount high‑level analog‑input module component. Must match with corresponding FBM baseplate assembly. Widely used for original Foxboro DCS equipment maintenance and renovation. ESD anti‑static protection shall be followed during installation.
