Description
Foxboro P0917XV
Technical Specifications
- Type: Baseplate / Termination Assembly.
- Compatibility: Series 200 FBM modules.
- Wiring Interface: Screw terminals or spring-clamp terminals.
Functional Features
- Signal Routing: Safely routes field signals to the FBM backplane connectors.
- Loop Power Distribution: Distributes 24 VDC loop power to field transmitters.
- Grounding Bar: Provides a dedicated, low-impedance ground point for shielded cables.
- Tool-less Removal: Allows FBM modules to be swapped without disturbing field wiring.
Application Scenarios
Installed in control cabinets to terminate field cables for analog, discrete, and pulse input/output modules.
Performance Parameters
- Current Rating: Sufficient to handle maximum FBM loop power requirements.
- Dielectric Strength: High isolation between field and backplane.
Material Composition
High-temperature, flame-retardant thermoplastic housing with tin-plated copper terminals.
Structural Characteristics
- DIN Rail Mountable: Easy installation on standard 35 mm DIN rails.
- Labeling Strips: Integrated channels for clear wire identification.
Working Principle
Acts as a passive electrical interface, mechanically securing the FBM while providing a reliable conductive path for field signals and power to reach the module’s internal circuitry.
Installation Requirements
- Must be securely mounted on a DIN rail or panel.
- Torque terminal screws to manufacturer specifications to prevent hot spots.
Precautions for Use
- Ensure wire insulation is stripped to the correct length to prevent short circuits.
- Do not mix different wire gauges on the same terminal block.
