SENSORS/ACTUATORS

The Foxboro Evo™ system’s Compact 200 Series I/O subsystem is an environmentally rugged set of control
electronics that can be distributed throughout your plant. This permits significant reduction in field cabling
and associated raceway and conduit installation, thereby reducing the initial cost of the installation. The
Compact 200 Series I/O subsystem is fully compatible with existing I/A Series® systems with 200 Series I/O
equipment and/or legacy 100 Series I/O equipment.

OVERVIEW The Compact 200 Series I/O subsystem consists of

The Compact 200 Series I/O subsystem provides a number of high performance Compact 200 Series

transmitters, current to pneumatic (I/P) converters,
contact sensing, and solid state switch or relays.
The three levels of isolation available with specific
FBMs are:
 Channel Isolated – Each channel is galvanically
isolated from the other channels, ground and
module logic. Isolated inputs and outputs use a
per point isolated power supply, built into the
FBM, for each channel.

FIELDBUS COMMUNICATIONS MODULES CALIBRATION

Fieldbus Communications Modules used in The analog Fieldbus Modules are calibrated at the
conjunction with the Fieldbus Modules are listed in factory prior to shipment and cannot be calibrated in
Table 2 on page 19. the field. In addition, discrete input/output Fieldbus
Modules do not need field adjustments. Therefore,
REDUNDANT FIELDBUS MODULES the Fieldbus Modules do not contain local (that is,
Redundant fieldbus modules, such as the Compact module-mounted) manual controls or jumpers.
FBM216b, need to be installed in pairs along with a
redundancy adapter. Two single modules are
combined at the associated baseplate with the field
signals wired to one common termination assembly.
Compact FBM216b and FBM218 use RIN and
ROUT blocks to interface to their inputs and outputs.
Only the Master Compact FBM writes to the outputs
among redundant HART output modules. The
Tracker Compact FBM is 1 mA below the Master by
default.

REDUNDANT READY COMPACT FIELDBUS

MODULES
Redundant ready Compact FBMs, such as the
Compact FBM207b, may be used in either non-
redundant mode by installing a single module or in
redundant mode by installing two modules along with
a redundancy adapter. In either configuration, the
modules are identical. In the redundant configuration,
two single modules are combined at the associated
baseplate, with the field output signals wired to one
common termination assembly. The input current for
redundant modules is doubled. A redundant digital
input block in the Foxboro Evo software validates
each input in conjunction with information to/from the
module, and selects the input with the highest quality
for processing in the control strategy.
