P0926GU FBM230 FOXBORO Ethernet Communication Card
The FBM230 Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) module provides a serial interface between single-ported field I/O devices and the Foxboro Evo™ system.
The FBM230 features four ports, each of which can be individually configured in software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. This design provides a single FBM230 with the flexibility to connect to multiple similar yet non-identical devices. Physical wiring complies with Electronic Industrial Association (EIA) standards for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485.
The FBM230 and its associated termination assembly (TA) support several types of connections to single-ported devices:
Direct connection to devices
Connection to modems when used with the RS-232 communication interface
Multidrop connections to RS-485 devices
