Function Features

Multi-channel Analog Input: Foxboro FBM201 gives the input of analog sensor signals through 8 channels whose accepted signals vary from 0 to 20 ma dc, 0 to 100 mv dc, 0 to 5v dc, and 0 to 10 v dc, which will conform to different industrial measurement needs.

Galvanic Isolation: Each analog input channel of this Foxboro FBM201 is galvanically isolated from the other channels and the ground to guarantee signal fidelity and stability by avoiding noise problem, channel interference, etc.

High Precision: High-precision analog signal acquisition is performed using the sigma-delta data conversion technique on each of the channels, accomplishing accurate measurements.

Flexible Configuration: Configuration of conversion time by the user in keeping with special needs makes the module more flexible and adaptable.

Status Indicators: Available status and diagnostic information with LED indicators make monitoring the module easy and fast for easy identification of possible problems.

Redundant Communication: Foxboro FBM201 supports redundant communication paths to improve reliability in data transmission and system operation.

Hot-swappable Design: Enables installation and maintenance without impacting system operation and minimizes system idle time.
