More Information

Overview Manuals FoxCom Links Loop Limits Redundancy Application
  • Use FBM246B only for the documented FBM246b channel function
  • Confirm the electronic-module order number, termination hardware and cable before replacement
  • Preserve field wiring, channel configuration, diagnostics and redundancy state before removal

FBM246B is a Foxboro redundant foxcom and analog output intelligent device module designed for Foxboro DCS 200 Series field I/O.

Foxboro FBM246B is a redundant dual-baud intelligent-device module with four FoxCom channels and four 0-20 mA analog outputs. The official document styles the function as FBM246b; RH927AE is the current exact module part number and supersedes P0927AE.

Before installation or replacement, verify the complete nameplate, companion hardware, termination assembly, cable, signal limits, field wiring, saved configuration and supported system environment.

Availability, condition, price, and shipping time for FBM246B are confirmed during quotation.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
Is FBM246B appropriate when one redundant module must serve both FoxCom devices and conventional analog output loops?
Yes, when the approved design specifically requires its mixed channel functions. Confirm the termination hardware, field devices, output loads, channel database and partner arrangement before selecting it.
Can FBM246B replace FBM246 without rewiring or database changes?
No. FBM246B has a different mix of communication and analog-output functions, so termination hardware, field wiring, channel assignments, scaling and control logic must be reviewed.
Why can the FoxCom side of FBM246B work while its analog outputs remain BAD?
Check the analog-output field supply, termination path, wiring, load, scaling, safe-state logic and channel assignment separately from the FoxCom device configuration.
Why can FBM246B analog outputs operate normally while FoxCom devices repeatedly drop offline?
Focus on the communication setting, device identities, field-device power, barrier voltage drop, shielding, grounding, cable route and communication diagnostics rather than the analog-output circuit.
How should RH927AE and the superseded P0927AE identity be handled when sourcing FBM246B?
Use the installed labels and project records to confirm the electronic-module identity, partner compatibility, adapter and termination hardware. Do not treat either number as the adapter or termination assembly.
What configuration records must be kept separate for the two FBM246B channel groups?
Preserve FoxCom device identities, communication settings and loop details separately from analog-output scaling, loads, fallback values and safe states, while also recording the shared pair and hardware arrangement.
What integrated test shows that FBM246B mixed service and redundancy are ready?
Verify every FoxCom device, command each used analog output into a controlled load, review both sets of alarms and diagnostics, then perform an approved partner transfer while monitoring all channels.
