Description
Foxboro P0916AL
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Field Terminal Assembly (FTA).
- Wiring: Supports crimp or screw terminals for various wire gauges (0.2 to 4 mm²).
- Compatibility: Designed for specific Foxboro FBM modules.
Functional Features
- Convenient Wiring: Crimp or spring-clamp terminals simplify field installation.
- Loop Power: Provides power for 2-wire field transmitters (on supported variants).
- Channel Isolation: Prevents cross-channel interference and ground loops.
- Status Indication: Integrated LEDs for power and channel status diagnostics.
Application Scenarios
Widely used in chemical, oil & gas, water treatment, and power generation as the standardized field wiring interface.
Performance Parameters
- Environment: ISA Class G3 harsh environment compliant.
- Power Consumption: Low power design, typically ~7W.
- Temperature: 0°C to 60°C operating range.
Material Composition
High-conductivity copper alloy terminals with tin or silver plating. High-strength, flame-retardant engineering plastic base.
Structural Characteristics
Compact DIN-rail or baseplate mountable design. Clearly labeled terminals and integrated status LEDs for easy maintenance.
Working Principle
Acts as a passive or active signal bridge. Field wires connect to the FTA, where signals are filtered, isolated, or powered before being routed through the rear connector to the FBM module.
Installation Requirements
Mount on DIN rail or FBM baseplate. Wire according to labels and ensure secure termination.
Usage Precautions
- Verify wire gauge matches terminal specifications.
- Inspect terminals periodically for corrosion or looseness, especially in vibrating environments.
- Always use identical replacement fuses; never substitute with wire.
