The FBM218 P0922VW Foxboro COMMUNICATION OUTPUT MODULE is an eight-channel redundant output interface module designed for the I/A Series system. This module supports a flexible mix of standard 4-20 mA and HART field devices, with the module serving as a digital communication host capable of processing two HART messages per second per device. A key feature is its robust redundancy capability, where a pair of modules can be configured as Master and Tracker to ensure uninterrupted operation at the Fieldbus Module level.

The FBM218 P0922VW Foxboro Redundant Output Module is engineered with a compact yet rugged extruded aluminum enclosure that provides superior physical protection for its internal circuits. It complies with ISA S71.04 standards for harsh industrial environments, making the Foxboro FBM218 (P0922VW) suitable for demanding applications. The module operates on a redundant 2 Mbps fieldbus, maintaining continuous communication through either path A or B, which significantly enhances system reliability.

Each channel in the Foxboro FBM218 P0922VW HART Output Interface Component features an isolated power supply and complete channel isolation, ensuring signal integrity and preventing cross-talk between connected devices. The module utilizes modular baseplate mounting that accommodates up to eight FBMs, with redundant modules requiring adjacent positions for proper configuration. This design philosophy behind the module simplifies installation and maintenance while maximizing system availability.

Through its advanced HART communication capabilities and robust hardware design, the FOXBORO INVENSYS FBM218 P0922VW delivers exceptional value in process control applications. The module's redundant architecture and environmental ruggedness make it an ideal solution for critical control loops where reliability is paramount, establishing the COMMUNICATION OUTPUT MODULE Foxboro FBM218 P0922VW as a trusted component in industrial automation systems.
