The FCM2F10 P0916TQ Foxboro I/A Series is a specialized fiber optic fieldbus extender module designed to significantly expand the reach of control systems. It enables baseplate-to-baseplate fiber optic extension of the module Fieldbus, allowing DIN rail mounted Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) to be strategically distributed in multiple enclosures up to 10 kilometers apart. This capability provides exceptional flexibility in industrial automation layout design.

As part of the FCM2F series, the Fieldbus Communications module FCM2F10 P0916TQ Foxboro specifically supports the maximum extension distance of 10 km using single-mode fiber cable, distinguishing it from the shorter-range multimode versions. The module typically operates on 24 VDC with a current consumption of 150 mA, ensuring compatibility with standard industrial power supplies while maintaining reliable performance across its specified operating temperature range from -20°C to +60°C.

The Foxboro FCM2F10 P0916TQ versatile and reliable module is designed for robust industrial applications, supporting both digital and analog input/output signals while maintaining full compatibility with the Foxboro I/A Series communication protocol. In practical deployment, the Foxboro FCM2F10 P0916TQ can be configured in redundant pairs for critical applications, with one module each for the "A" and "B" Fieldbus cables, though non-redundant setups require only a single unit.

With its compact dimensions and modular rack mounting system, the PLC module Foxboro FCM2F10 P0916TQ offers efficient integration into control cabinets while weighing approximately 1.2 kg. This combination of long-distance capability, protocol compatibility, and flexible configuration makes it an essential component for distributed control systems requiring reliable remote I/O placement.
