Features:
- Secure Electrical Pathway from Field Devices to Foxboro I/A Series FBM Module Terminals
- Merges Cable Termination Functionality with Robust Connection Integrity
- Designed for Direct Integration with FBM4, FBM39, and FBM44 Fieldbus Modules
The Foxboro FBM4/39/44 P0500RY operates as the Cable Termination Assembly in a Foxboro I/A Series rack, providing reliable terminal connections to FBM4, FBM39, and FBM44 modules within the system. It continuously maintains secure electrical connections between field instrumentation and the control modules, supporting steady state operation of all fieldbus modules and associated monitors. Seamless signal transmission is standard with the Foxboro FBM4/39/44, however using proper termination configuration will ensure signal integrity and prevent communication errors in the event of loose connections or environmental interference. The Foxboro FBM4/39/44 has made improvements in several areas over previous termination designs in addition to incorporating universal connection capability within the I/A Series rack.
The Foxboro FBM4/39/44 provides essential termination functions common to the entire fieldbus module assembly, and is a critical component of the signal path, directly affecting the proper, normal operation of the overall control system. One Foxboro FBM4/39/44 termination assembly is required per FBM4, FBM39, or FBM44 module depending on the specific wiring configuration. The Foxboro FBM4/39/44 occupies the dedicated termination position on the module and is always located at the field connection interface.
For multiple module applications, the Foxboro I/A Series system requires additional Foxboro FBM4/39/44 termination assemblies installed on each respective FBM module. In addition to standard single termination operation, the proper configuration also performs connection protection. The Foxboro FBM4/39/44 termination system executes signal routing using the internal circuitry specified in the module options. Using this method, the termination system continually maintains the integrity of all connections. If the system detects that a connection is compromised (outside configured tolerance levels), it will automatically isolate the affected channel and prevent signal degradation from impacting the overall System Event List.
The FBM4/39/44 Foxboro Terminal Plug And Cable Assembly may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Foxboro FBM4/39/44 Terminal Plug And Cable Assembly Specs
General
- Manufacturer Foxboro
- Model FBM4/39/44
- Condition New Original ready stock
- Product Family FBM04,FBM39,FBM44
Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Module Compatibility: Specifically interfaces with the FBM04 (0-20 mA I/O), FBM39 (Isolated Transmitter Interface), and FBM44 modules.
- Sector Use: Commonly deployed in chemical processing, power generation, and oil & gas sectors to manage pressure, flow, and temperature signals.
- System Migration: Acts as a vital bridge during system upgrades, allowing older 100 Series infrastructure to be integrated into newer Foxboro Evo or 200 Series DCS architectures without replacing existing field wiring.
- Module EEPROM Updates: Updates for the associated FBMs (like the FBM04 or FBM39) are typically performed via the System Management Display Handler (SMDH). Users select the module in SMDH and initiate an "EEPROM UPDATE" using the relevant IOM files.
- Driver Support: Driver updates can often be downloaded to the FBM or FBM pair through the DCS software without requiring a full system reboot.
- Control Core Services: Latest software and security patches for the overall Foxboro Evo system are available through the Schneider Electric Global Support Portal.
- Protection Rating: Typically rated IP65/IP67 and NEMA 4X, making it dust-tight and highly resistant to water ingress and corrosion.
- Operating Temperature: Engineered for extreme climates, ranging from -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F).
- Relative Humidity: Operates reliably in ranges from 5% to 95% (non-condensing).
- Chemical Resistance: Often features epoxy-coated aluminum or stainless steel components to survive exposure to corrosive chemical vapors.
