FBM215

Basic Information

Model: FBM215 (P0922VU)

Manufacturer: Foxboro (Schneider Electric)

System: I/A Series DCS / Foxboro Evo™

Type: 8-Channel Isolated HART Analog Output Module

Key Features

8-Channel Isolated Output: Each channel is independently isolated, supporting mixed 4–20mA and HART devices

Per-Channel HART Modem: Bi-directional communication for configuration, calibration, and diagnostics

HART Command Support: Supports universal, common, and device-specific HART commands (no burst mode)

High Noise Immunity: Galvanic isolation between channels and system bus, suitable for high-interference environments

Hot-Swap & Auto-Config: Supports hot-swap and auto-configuration in I/A Series systems

Rugged Design: Extruded aluminum enclosure, vibration-resistant (0.75g, 5–500Hz)

Matching Accessories

Termination Assembly (TA): RH926SP / P0926SP

Cables: RH926 series (shielded for HART)

Application

Process industries: chemical, petrochemical, power, oil & gas, water treatment

Control loops: valves, actuators, and HART-enabled control devices

High-noise environments: near VFDs, motors, or high-voltage equipment
