OVERVIEW

FIELDBUS COMMUNICATION

The FBM242 Discrete Output Interface Module

contains 16 discrete output channels, which are
sourced externally, rated up to 2 A at 60 V dc.
Associated termination assemblies (TAs) provide for
discrete outputs to loads of 2 A at 60 V dc, relay
outputs (120 V ac/125 V dc, or 240 V ac), or relay
outputs with power distribution and fusing. Each
output is fully isolated from other channels and
ground.

A Fieldbus Communications Module or a Control

Processor interfaces to the redundant 2 Mbps
module Fieldbus used by the FBMs. The FBM242
accepts communication from either path (A or B) of
the redundant 2 Mbps Fieldbus should one path
fail or be switched at the system level, the module
continues communication over the active path.

The module interfaces electrical output signals from a

control processor to the field devices. It executes a
digital I/O application program, with ladder logic
support, and provides a Fail-Safe Configuration
option for the outputs.

Field power for contacts or solid state switches is

current limited.

COMPACT DESIGN
The module has a compact design, with a rugged
extruded aluminum exterior for physical protection of
the circuits. Enclosures specially designed for
mounting the FBMs provide various levels of
environmental protection, up to harsh environments
(Class G3), per ISA Standard S71.04.

VISUAL INDICATORS
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) incorporated into the
front of the module provide visual indication of the
module operational status, as well as the discrete
states of the individual output points.

EASY REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT
The module can be removed/replaced without
removing field device termination cabling, power, or
communication cabling.

SECURITY

MODULAR BASEPLATE MOUNTING

The module mounts on a DIN rail mounted Modular
baseplate, which accommodates up to four or eight
Fieldbus Modules. The Modular baseplate is either
DIN rail mounted or rack mounted, and includes
signal connectors for redundant Fieldbus, redundant
independent dc power, and termination cables.

TERMINATION ASSEMBLIES (TAs)

Field I/O signals connect to the FBM subsystem via
DIN rail mounted TAs. The TAs used with the
FBM242 are described in TERMINATION
ASSEMBLIES on page 8.

intended for permanent connection to
voltages of these levels. Exceeding the limits
for input voltages, as stated elsewhere in this
specification, violates electrical safety codes
and may expose users to electric shock.

TERMINATION ASSEMBLIES
General Description
Field I/O signals connect to the FBM subsystem via
DIN rail mounted termination assemblies (TAs).
Multiple types of TAs are available with FBMs to
provide I/O signal connections, signal conditioning,
optical isolation from signal surges, external power
connections, and/or fusing for protection of the FBM
and/or field device as required by the particular FBM.
Since these features are built into the termination
assemblies (where required), in most applications
there is no need for additional termination equipment
for field circuit functions such as circuit protection or
signal conditioning (including fusing and power
distribution).
The DIN rail mounted termination assemblies
connect to the FBM subsystem baseplate by means
of removable termination cables. The cables are
available in a variety of lengths, up to 30 meters
(98 feet), allowing the termination assemblies to be
mounted in either the enclosure or in an adjacent
enclosure. Refer to FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
- TERMINATION ASSEMBLIES on page 9 for
termination cable part numbers and specifications.

Discrete Outputs
Termination assemblies with discrete outputs support
sixteen 2-wire discrete output signals at passive low
voltages of less than 60 V dc and active high voltage
levels of 120 V ac or 240 V ac. Active termination
assemblies support output signal conditioning for
FBMs. To condition signals, these termination
assemblies provide fuse protection, relays, solid-state
devices, and terminal blocks to connect externally
supplied optional power distribution.
Low Voltage Discrete Outputs
The low voltage outputs (less than 60 V dc) use
passive termination assemblies. These assemblies
are available with and without output protection

(fusing). Termination assemblies with protection have

individual user serviceable fuses that are designed to
limit the output current to 2 A. Sixteen vertically
mounted, one per channel, 3.15 A sand filled fuses
(temperature derated) allow a maximum of 2 A
current per output channel. Termination assemblies
without fusing (unprotected) are intended for use by
Foxboro engineers or customers who are using
interposing relays or fuse terminal blocks between
the termination assembly and the field devices.
Power for the low voltage outputs can be supplied by
the FBM +24 V dc auxiliary power supply (internally
(FBM) sourced) or by a field voltage source (externally
sourced).
High Voltage Discrete Outputs
The high voltage output (120 V ac or 240 V ac)
termination assemblies use plug-in SPDT (Form C)
electromechanical relays and solid-state switches.
The plug-in sockets allow field replacement of
individual relays. The relays and associated sockets
are located under the component covers of the
termination assemblies.The termination assemblys
switched outputs use unsealed, general purpose
relays.These assemblies are capable of providing
mixed voltage and are designed to provide signal
segregation by locating the low voltage inputs an the
opposite side of the terminal assembly from the
outputs. A solid-state output module is optionally
available. High voltage discrete outputs are always
externally sourced power.
The output termination assemblies come in either
output or output with power distribution (usersupplied via terminals on the termination assembly).
In both configurations, when the FBM output is on,
the relay coil is energized and the relay contact is
switched from normally closed (NC) position to the
normally open (NO) position. The FBM +24 V dc
auxiliary power supply is used to energize the relay
coil.

PSS 21H-2Z42 B4
Page 9

Termination assemblies with power distribution have

a dedicated terminal block which provides a
connection to externally supplied power and
distributed internally on the termination assembly to
each of the output channels. The line or positive side
of the supply is fused; the neutral or negative side of
the supply is connected to the field.

(a) Maximum current is limited to12 A per 8 channels. Output inductive load limits based on current of 2 A. Inductance limit increases by
a factor of 4, for each factor of 2 reduction in current. For an inductive load above stated limits, a snubber diode is required for a dc
inductive load or a MOV (metal oxide varistor) is required for an ac inductive load. Diode current rating must be equal to the maximum
load current and voltage rating equal to 1.3X maximum supply voltage. MOV must be rated for 120 V ac use and current rating must
be equal to maximum load current.

(c) C = TA with compression terminals, RL = TA with ring lug terminals. Knife has compression terminals.
(d) See to Table 2 and Table 3 for cable part numbers.
(e) See to Table 1 Termination Assembly certification definitions.
(f) The ON volt drop for an FBM242 across the Oring diode is typically: 0.498V @ 12A; 0.520V @16 A. The typical voltage drop to a
channel output is 0.6V at 1.65A per channel.
(g) This is knife disconnect construction. Knives and test sockets provided for circuit validation only. Knife disconnects are not rated for
interrupting loads. Power must be removed before disconnecting circuit.
