Invensys Foxboro P0400YG FBM03 Pulse Input Field Module

P0400YG FBM03Description

The RTD Input Interface Module (FBM03) contains eight Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) input channels. Each channel accepts either a 2- and 4- wire RTD, or 3-wire RTD sensor input within a 0 to 320 ohm resistance range. Within the same module, 3-wire RTDs may not be mixed with 2- or 4-wire RTDs. The module performs the signal conversion required to interface the electrical input signals from the RTD to the redundant Fieldbus. The module is a main type, and independently connects to the

redundant Fieldbus. This module executes the Analog Input application program. The configurable options for this program are Analog Input Resolution (on a per module basis), Fieldbus Switching Enable, and Fieldbus Switching Time.

FLEXIBLE AND POWERFUL

Flexibility begins with capabilities that solve problems today. The I/A Series is designed to address an exceptionally broad range of application

requirements. Present generation systems are limited in functionality because of constricting architecture, and usually consist of a family of devices, each dedicated to a single automation function such as logic control or operator interface. In contrast, I/A Series systemsprovide nodes, made up of interchangeable hardware and software modules, with powerful capabilities that can be mixed and matched to fit numerous manufacturing processes. Innovative packaging of industrial and fieldenclosures allow these nodes to be physically located where they are needed.

For example, certain nodes on the plant floor might be configured initially for first-level control functions, with a separate node in a control room for operator interface. Later, some of the operator interface

functions could also be installed at one or more of the control nodes, while supervisory control functions and password-protected engineering functions could be added to the operator interface node.
