Function Features

Multiple signal processing functions: Foxboro FBM217 may run programs for discrete input, ladder logic, pulse count, and events sequence. A number of signal processing and control activities are thus provided to users.

Configurable Options: Foxboro FBM217 allows input filter time to be configured and provides possibilities for the fail-safe configuration for customization against special application needs.

Redundancy Function: Foxboro FBM217 can operate as a single module or as a pair in redundancy for stability. This helps maintain continuous operation of the system in critical applications.

Termination Assemblies: The types of TAs provided for the equipment supply attenuation of high voltage and optical isolation for the inputs. They positively excite the signal with external power out of the module.

High Reliability:  Foxboro FBM217 is user-friendly in signal processing and signal measurement thereby assuring delivery of quality data acquisition and control, an important checkpoint for precise control and monitoring of industrial processes.

Easy Integration: It specializes in integration into the existing distributed control system (DCS) for further expansion and upgrading development hovering unique extendibility. It is sufficiently adaptable, dynamic, and can suit in environmental variabilities while catering for varying requirements from diversities of the inputs all featuring a blend of configurable options.

Applications

Food and Beverage Industry: Foxboro FBM217 has to be used to monitor and control the operation of production equipment such as mixers, fillers, and packaging machines, assuring hygienic and efficient production of food and beverage products.

Pharmaceutical Industry: In pharmaceutical manufacturing, Foxboro FBM217 can monitor critical parameters such as temperature, humidity, and pressure in clean rooms and production equipment, as well as control the operation of pharmaceutical production lines to ensure the quality and compliance of pharmaceutical products.

Water and Wastewater Treatment: It is applied to monitor and control the operation of water treatment plants and wastewater treatment facilities, including parameters such as water quality, flow rate, and pump operation, to ensure the effective treatment and discharge of water.
