Features:

  • Interface Between Field Devices and Foxboro DCS Control Database
  • Combines Ethernet Communication Capability with Multi-Device Integration Support
  • Operates in Conjunction with Standard Foxboro Distributed Control Systems
The FBM232 P0926GW operates as the Field Device System Integrator Module in a Foxboro DCS, providing reliable Ethernet-based communication between field devices and the control system. It continuously enables transmission of process data between field instrumentation and the Foxboro DCS control database through 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity, supporting seamless communication within modern industrial control architectures. Seamless data integration is standard with the FBM232 P0926GW, however its capability to communicate with up to 64 field devices will allow centralized integration of diverse field-level equipment into a unified control environment. The FBM232 P0926GW has made improvements in several areas over previous integration designs in addition to incorporating downloadable I/O software drivers from a library of available protocols within the Foxboro DCS.

The FBM232 P0926GW provides essential communication functions common to the entire field device network, and is a critical component of the data integration path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall control system. One FBM232 P0926GW module is required per communication node depending on the desired device integration scale. The FBM232 P0926GW occupies a compact field-mounted installation position and is always deployed close to field devices to reduce communication complexity and improve system architecture efficiency.

For Multi-Device Integration applications, the FBM232 P0926GW supports up to 2000 DCI block connections to allow large volumes of field data to be mapped and integrated into the Foxboro DCS database. In addition to standard single module operation, the FBM232 P0926GW configuration also performs automatic protocol adaptation. The FBM232 P0926GW dual communication capability executes integration using the internal Ethernet interface specified in the module specifications. Using this method, the FBM232 P0926GW continually monitors the health of connected field devices. If the system detects that a field device is no longer providing stable data (outside configured communication parameters), it will automatically manage the connection status and place an event in the System Event List.

The FBM232 P0926GW Field Device System Integrator Module may still be available for purchase and support from industrial automation suppliers beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).
