Product Introduction:
The Foxboro FBM217 P0914TR is a Foundation Fieldbus H1 dual-channel communication and control module for the I/A Series DCS. The FBM217 is functionally similar to the FBM207 but represents a different hardware generation with enhanced capabilities. The “P0914TR” suffix specifies the firmware configuration, which includes support for advanced function blocks, enhanced diagnostics, and specific device types. This module provides two independent H1 channels, each supporting up to 32 devices, for a total of 64 Fieldbus devices. It acts as the Link Active Scheduler (LAS) for both H1 segments and executes advanced control function blocks locally on the module.
