FOXBORO FBM222 P0926TL Redundant PROFIBUS Communication Module

FOXBORO FBM222 P0926TL  Redundant PROFIBUS Communication Module

DESCRIPTION

The Redundant PROFIBUS Communication Module (FBM222) provides an interface between the Foxboro Evo system and PROFIBUS-DP/PA slave devices, including motor drives, I/O modules, and field I/O devices. The FBM222, which can be used in a single or redundant configuration, supports two PROFIBUS links with a maximum of 125 slave devices per port when repeaters are utilized. The FBM222 connects the slave devices to the versatile and robust Foxboro Evo control system via Distributed Control Interface (DCI) blocks.

Key features of the FBM222 are: 

  Integrates PROFIBUS-DP/PA slave devices into the Foxboro Evo control system 

  Conforms to the PROFIBUS-DP Specification IEC61158 Part 3 

  Supports up to 125 slave devices per port with up to 244 byte data transfer, depending on how many bytes are supported by each slave device 

  Maximizes uptime by providing redundant TAs, hot-swappable redundant FBM modules, and fully redundant communication between the FBM222 and fault-tolerant control processors 

  Enables addition, modification and removal of devices without impacting on-going operations 

  Supports PROFIBUS DPV1 devices 

  Propagates the PROFIBUS-PA device values and status to Foxboro Evo control blocks 

  Provides a user-selectable status parameter for input data as well as read-back values for output data 

  Supports PROFIBUS-DP Class 1 and Class Masters along with multi-master configurations

Product Features

Redundant Design: The FBM222 P0926TL module adopts a redundant design to ensure high system availability. This design enables automatic switching to a backup module in case of failure of a single module, thus maintaining communication continuity and stability.

Hot-swappable function: The modules support hot-swapping, which means that they can be easily replaced or upgraded without affecting the normal operation of the system. This greatly reduces maintenance costs and improves system maintainability.

High-speed data transmission: The module supports high-speed data transmission, which can meet the high requirements of modern industrial control systems for data transmission speed and efficiency.

Perfect diagnostic function: FBM222 P0926TL module has built-in perfect diagnostic function, which can monitor the working status of the module in real time and issue an alarm in case of failure. This helps operators find and solve problems in time, ensuring stable system operation.

Technical Specifications

PROFIBUS interface: RS-485

Transmission rate: Supports a variety of transmission rates, including 960 kbps, 1.5 Mbps, 3 Mbps, 6 Mbps, etc., to meet the needs of different application scenarios.

Power supply voltage: 24 VDC

Power consumption: less than 5 W

Enclosure Size: Specific dimensions may vary by product lot and manufacturer, but usually meet standard size requirements for industrial automation equipment.

Weight: Modules are of moderate weight for easy installation and maintenance.

Operating temperature: -20°C to 55°C, capable of stable operation in a variety of harsh industrial environments.

Storage Temperature: -40°C to 85°C, ensuring that the module will continue to function properly after extended storage.

GSD FILES

A General Slave Data (GSD) file, provided by the device manufacturer, is available for each PROFIBUS device type. The file contains information specific to the device and specifies parameters such as baud rates, timing information and supported options such as diagnostics and data length. The Foxboro Evo uses the information in the GSD file to set up communication to the slave device. 

The GSD files are imported into the Foxboro Evo Control Editors (Control Editors) and used by the device editor to select supported options and configure operational parameters. Refer to Field Device Manager for PROFIBUS-DP Devices (PSS 31S-10FDMPB) for additional information on these Control Editors for configuring, commissioning and maintaining PROFIBUS_DP networks.
