Compact Design

The compact FBM215 has a narrower design than the standard 200 series FBM.

It has a rugged acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) housing that provides physical protection for the circuitry.

Enclosures specifically designed for mounting the FBM provide varying degrees of environmental

protection up to the harsh environments specified in ISA Standard S71.04.

Visual Indicators

Light emitting diodes (LEDs) on the front of the module provide a visual indication of the module’s operational status and channel communication activity.

Easy Removal/Replacement

Modules are mounted on a Compact 200 Series base plate that can be mounted either on DIN rails or horizontally in a rack using a kit.

Includes signal connectors for redundant fieldbus, redundant independent DC power supply and termination cables.

Two screws on the FBM secure the module to the Compact 200 Series base plate.

Removing/replacing the module eliminates the need to remove field device termination cables, power supplies, or communication cables.

Termination Components

Field output signals are connected to the FBM subsystem via DIN rail mounted TAs.
