4-Port 10 Mbps Hubs for ISO/DIN Rail

The 4-Port 10 Mbps Industrial Hubs are DIN rail

mounted and support 10 Mbps Ethernet protocol

to/from devices that communicate at speeds of

10 Mbps. You can connect up to three Ethernet

devices using one 4-Port hub. Multiple hubs can be

interconnected to connect up to 64 devices to a

single FBM232.The hub mounts on an ISO/DIN rail and the 24 V dc

can be supplied redundantly from the FPS400-24 to

the hub.

A terminal block contains an integrated indicator

contact, receiving error and warning messages of the

hub which are defined as digital signals. These

signals, for example, can be utilized as process

messages when connected to a digital input FBM.

The indicator/contact becomes active as soon as

disturbances appear in the hub, that is, when a

power supply should fail or at least one twisted pair

port reports a faulty link status or has autopartitioned.

For diagnosis there are LEDs available which indicate

fault, link status, segmentation, power and received data.

Overview

The FBM232 Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) module provides a single

Ethernet interface between single-ported field I/O devices and the EcoStruxure™

Foxboro™ DCS system.

The FBM232 connects to a single 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps copper Ethernet network to

communicate with devices. The FBM232 is connected to Ethernet switches or hubs in

order to communicate with one external device or up to 64 external devices.

Features

Key features of the FBM232 are:

• 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet network transmission rate to/from field device

• Communicates with up to 64 field devices

• I/O software driver is downloadable from a library of available protocols

• Up to 2000 DCI block connections

• Integrates field device data into a Foxboro DCS control database using Ethernet

connectivity

• Field mounted

• Class G3 (harsh) environments.
