Application Scenarios
Ideal for chemical processing, power plants, and metallurgy where precise, multi-point temperature monitoring of reactors, boilers, and pipelines is required.
Performance Parameters
- Operating Temperature: 0°C to 60°C
- Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C
- Power Supply: 24 VDC via backplane
Material Composition
Features a rugged industrial-grade housing with conformal-coated internal PCBs to withstand high dust, humidity, and corrosive gases.
Structural Characteristics
Standard 200 Series FBM single-width form factor. Connects to the backplane via a secure rear connector and interfaces with field wiring through a matched Terminal Assembly.
Operating Principle
Receives low-level millivolt signals from thermocouples, applies internal cold-junction compensation based on module temperature, amplifies the signal, and converts it to digital data for the controller via the Module Fieldbus.
Installation Requirements
Install on a Foxboro 200 Series baseplate. Ensure proper ventilation and maintain low-impedance grounding for noise immunity. Use only the designated TA for field connections.
Usage Precautions
Verify that the correct thermocouple type is configured in the system software. Use appropriate thermocouple extension wires to prevent reference junction errors, and strictly follow ESD protocols during handling.
