Description
Foxboro TYPE1
Technical Specifications
- Product Type: Termination Assembly.
- Compatibility: Designed for specific FBM types (e.g., discrete input, analog output).
- Wiring Style: Screw terminal, spring clamp, or pre-wired harness options.
- Signal Conditioning: Built-in filters, isolators, or relays as required by the FBM.
Functional Features
- Signal Integrity: Provides filtering and isolation to protect FBMs from field noise and transients.
- Wiring Convenience: Simplifies field wiring with clearly labeled terminals and organized cable management.
- Modularity: Allows the FBM to be replaced without disturbing field wiring.
- Diagnostics: Some TYPE1 TAs include test points or LED indicators.
Application Scenarios
Used with virtually every FBM in the I/A Series to interface with field devices, providing the necessary electrical and mechanical interface.
Performance Parameters
- Dielectric Strength: High isolation voltage between field and backplane.
- Operating Temperature: Matches FBM specifications.
Material Composition
Flame-retardant plastic housing with high-quality terminal blocks. Internal PCB with industrial-grade components.
Structural Characteristics
Designed to mount adjacent to the FBM baseplate. Features wire entry from top/bottom/side depending on model. Clear terminal labeling.
Working Principle
Acts as a passive or active interface. Passive TAs provide wiring points and simple filtering. Active TAs include relays, isolators, or signal converters to adapt field signals to FBM requirements.
Installation Requirements
Mount on DIN rail or panel adjacent to the FBM. Connect to FBM via the ribbon cable or backplane connector. Wire field devices according to the TA wiring diagram.
Usage Precautions
Verify the TYPE1 TA matches the FBM type exactly. Do not mix different TA types. Ensure all connections are tight and properly torqued.
