Product Description

FOXBORO FBM230 P0926GU | 4-Port Serial Communication Module for I/A Series/Evo DCS

Multi-Protocol Serial Gateway for Modbus RTU/ASCII, HART, and Legacy Serial Devices in Process Automation

1. Product Overview

The FOXBORO FBM230 P0926GU is a 4-port serial communication module (Field Device System Integrator, FDSI) for Foxboro I/A Series and Evo DCS, enabling seamless data exchange between DCS controllers and serial devices (Modbus RTU/ASCII, HART, ASCII, etc.) via RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 ports (each independently configurable). With 2500V channel-to-channel isolation, 115.2kbps max baud rate, and up to 2000 DCI (Distributed Control Interface) data connections, it supports 4 direct RS-232/RS-422 devices or 64 daisy-chained RS-485 devices, delivering real-time process monitoring (temperature/pressure/flow) and control command transmission (valve position, pump start/stop). The module features 24VDC power (45mA max), -20°C to +70°C operating range, and IP20 rear terminals, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments (oil/gas, chemical, power generation) with IEC 61010-1 and ATEX Zone 2 compliance for safety and EMC immunity.

4. Installation & Maintenance

Installation: Mount on Foxboro I/A Series I/O rack; connect 24VDC power (reverse-polarity protected). Wire RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 to field devices (twisted-pair shielded cable, max 1200m for RS-485). Verify insulation resistance (>100MΩ) before power-up.

Configuration: Use Foxboro Control Builder to set port parameters (RS-232/RS-422/RS-485, 9600 bps/8N1 default). Map DCI points to Modbus registers (coils 00001-09999, holding registers 40001-49999) for data exchange.

Maintenance: Monthly: Inspect serial connections; check power supply voltage (22-26VDC). Annual: Test isolation resistance; replace module if fault codes (e.g., parity error, no communication) persist. Clean dust from vents every 6 months.

Fault Diagnosis: Port communication error = Check baud rate/parity settings; Isolation fault = Inspect wiring for short circuits; DCI data loss = Verify DCI mapping in Control Builder.
