Schneider Electric Foxboro ™ DCS FBM201/b/c/d analog input module

（2） Installation and wiring configuration

Installation method:

The module needs to be installed on a modular base plate (FBM Baseplate), which supports DIN rail installation (horizontal/vertical) or 19 inch rack installation (requires installation kit);

A single bottom plate can accommodate up to 4 or 8 FBM modules, supporting dense layout of multiple modules and saving control cabinet space.

Wiring and Terminal Components (TA):

The on-site wiring is connected to the Terminal Assembly (TA) module installed through DIN rails. TA is divided into "Compression Terminal Type (C)" and "Ring Terminal Type (RL)", suitable for different wire types (solid/multi strand wire);

The TA is connected to the module through a termination cable, which can be made of polyurethane (P/PVC) or low smoke halogen-free (LSZH), with a length of 0.5-30 meters (1.6-98.4 feet), and supports local or remote wiring (such as installing TA in adjacent control cabinets to reduce on-site wiring length);

Wire specifications: Compression terminals support 0.2-4 mm ² (24-12 AWG) wires, while ring terminals support 0.5-4 mm ² (22-12 AWG) wires, suitable for most industrial wiring needs.

Compliance certification and security features

（1） Compliance certification

Specific standard specifications for certification categories

Safety Certification - UL/UL-C: Class I, Groups A-D, Division 2 (Hazardous Areas), Temperature Class T4

-European Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU)

-ATEX 94/9/EC: II 3 G Ex nA [nL] IIC T4 (Zone 2 explosion-proof area)

-IECEx certification can be used in flammable and explosive environments (such as Zone 2 in petrochemical workshops), meeting major global industrial safety standards and adapting to cross-border project requirements

Environmentally compliant EU RoHS Directive (2011/65/EU, including amendments 2015/863, 2017/2102) does not contain harmful substances such as lead and mercury, meets environmental requirements, and is suitable for industries with high environmental standards (such as food processing and pharmaceutical manufacturing)

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) European EMC Directive (2014/30/EU), compliant with EN 61326-1:2013 Class A in industrial strong electromagnetic environments (such as near motors and frequency converters), with low module radiation and strong anti-interference ability, ensuring signal stability

（2） Security protection function

Overcurrent protection: Each channel is designed with a current limiting circuit, which limits the current to less than 30 mA during normal operation and approximately 100 mA during short circuits to prevent damage to sensors or modules due to overcurrent;

Voltage limit: It is prohibited to connect voltage signals exceeding 30 VAC or 60 VDC to avoid violating electrical safety regulations and prevent personnel from getting electric shock and module burnout;

Class 2 Circuit Certification: Communication circuits comply with the Class 2 circuit requirements of the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70 Article 725) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CSA C22.1 Section 16), and are classified as limited energy circuits with high safety.
