Product Description

FOXBORO FBM242 RH916TA | 16-Channel Isolated Discrete Output Module for I/A Series/Evo DCS

16-Channel Galvanically Isolated Discrete Output Switch for Precise Control of Valves, Motors, and Actuators in Process Automation

1. Product Overview

The FOXBORO FBM242 RH916TA is a 16-channel isolated discrete output module for Foxboro I/A Series and Evo DCS, designed to convert digital control signals from the DCS controller into high-power switching outputs for field devices (valves, motors, pumps, and actuators) via external power sources. Each channel features 2500V AC galvanic isolation (channel-to-channel and channel-to-ground) to prevent cross-talk and surge damage, supporting 15-60VDC (2A max), 120VAC/125VDC, and 240VAC loads with solid-state or relay switching options. The module operates on 24VDC (8W max power), offers -20°C to +70°C wide temperature range, and includes LED status indicators for each channel, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments (oil/gas, chemical, power, water/wastewater) with ATEX Zone 2 and UL Class 1, Div 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 external power (15-60VDC/120VAC/240VAC) and field devices to terminal assembly (TA). Verify insulation resistance (>100MΩ) before power-up.

Configuration: Use Foxboro Control Builder to set output mode (solid-state/relay), fail-safe state (ON/OFF), and channel mapping to DCS control logic.

Maintenance: Monthly: Inspect terminal connections; check LED status for fault indication. Annual: Test isolation resistance; replace module if channel fault persists after troubleshooting.

Fault Diagnosis: Channel fault = Check external power, load, and wiring; Communication loss = Verify Fieldbus connection and DCS controller status.
