Features:
- Provides a rugged, steel mounting platform and backplane for up to 8 Foxboro 200 Series I/O modules, organizing field wiring and simplifying system architecture
- Accepts redundant 24 VDC power inputs (10A) to ensure high availability for critical I/O functions . It communicates with the controller via the redundant 2 Mbps Fieldbus
- Engineered for extreme industrial environments, it operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +70 °C and humidity levels up to 95% non-condensing
The P0914XB is a vertical baseplate designed to house up to eight Foxboro 200 Series Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). It acts as the physical backbone of a local I/O station, providing a standardized backplane for communication and power distribution. Instead of wiring each I/O point back to a central panel, the baseplate allows field wiring to terminate directly on the FBMs plugged into it.
Understanding the revision history of the P0914XB is essential for successful system upgrades. This baseplate functions reliably with older CP60 processors across all revisions. However, a critical technical barrier exists for newer hardware: Revision D and earlier are incompatible with modern FCP270 or ZCP270 processors . This is due to "bleed-through" issues on the circuit board during high-bandwidth communication.
Industrial process applications are often located in harsh, un-conditioned environments. The P0914XB is built to withstand these conditions, featuring a wide operating temperature range of -40 °C to +70 °C . It is certified for Class G3 (harsh) environments, meaning it resists corrosion and humidity (5 to 95% non-condensing). This robustness allows it to be installed in outdoor remote I/O huts, on offshore platforms, or in hot machinery spaces without requiring expensive climate-controlled enclosures.
The P0914XB Foxboro Fieldbus Modules may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL)by the manufacturer (OEM).
