The FBM223 is a Fieldbus Module from Foxboro, a brand within the Invensys Operations Management division. The FBM223 is designed to provide a fieldbus interface for industrial automation systems, enabling communication between devices on a fieldbus network and the main control system.
The FBM223 module acts as a bridge between the fieldbus network and the control system, converting data and signals between the two. It supports various fieldbus protocols, allowing for integration with a wide range of devices and systems. The module is typically installed in a control panel or rack and is configured to meet the specific requirements of the application.
Product Parameters:
Fieldbus Protocols: The FBM223 supports multiple fieldbus protocols, such as PROFIBUS, FOUNDATION fieldbus, and others. This allows for flexibility in integrating with different devices and systems.
I/O Channels: The module provides a certain number of input/output (I/O) channels, depending on the specific model. These channels are used to connect to field devices and transmit data between them and the control system.
Power Supply: The FBM223 requires a power supply to operate. The required power specifications, such as voltage and current, will depend on the specific model.
Communication Interface: The module provides a communication interface for connecting to the control system. This interface may include Ethernet, RS-485, or other standards, depending on the model.
Configuration and Programming: The FBM223 may require configuration and programming to match the specific requirements of the application. This is typically done using Foxboro’s configuration software or tools.
