Description

Foxboro PM400YV

Technical Specifications

  • Part Number: PM400YV.
  • Signal Types: 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, Dry Contacts.
  • Isolation: Channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus.
  • Power: 24 VDC Backplane powered.

Functional Features

  • Flexible Configuration: Software-configurable signal types, ranges, and alarm thresholds.
  • Fail-Safe Outputs: Configurable output state (Hold, Zero, Safe) on communication loss.
  • Noise Immunity: Differential inputs and multiple filtering to suppress field noise.

Application Scenarios
Connecting pressure transmitters, level gauges, and control valves in standard industrial process loops.

Performance Parameters

  • Load Capability: Output loop drives 600Ω at 4-20 mA.
  • Resolution: 12-bit or 16-bit conversion.
  • Protection: IP20.

Material Composition
Industrial-grade components, conformal-coated PCB. Flame-retardant housing with EMI shielding.

Structural Characteristics
Standard FBM form factor with clear channel numbering and status LEDs. DIN rail mounting.

Working Principle
Input module converts 4-20 mA to voltage, then A/D. Output module converts digital value to D/A, then V/I. All data exchanged via fieldbus.

Installation Requirements
Use shielded twisted-pair for analog signals; ground shield at one end. Ensure output load impedance is within limits.

Usage Precautions
Configure output fail-safe state based on process safety requirements. Avoid running signal cables parallel to power lines.
