Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the FBM203 P0916AE0C is unavailable or end-of-life, the following models may serve as functional replacements depending on your system configuration. Always verify compatibility with your I/A Series system revision before substitution.
- P0916AE0C — Original part number (primary reference)
- P0916AEOC — Alternate part number notation (same module, OCR variant)
- FBM201 — 4-channel analog input, same I/A Series platform, reduced channel count
- FBM202 — 8-channel analog input with HART support, direct functional upgrade
- FBM204 — Analog input with enhanced diagnostics, compatible baseplate
- FBM207 — Analog input/output combo module, suitable for mixed I/O applications
- FBM237 — HART-enabled analog input, recommended for HART device integration
Note: Cross-compatibility depends on firmware version, baseplate type, and I/A Series software release. Contact Konmask for pre-purchase compatibility verification.
Why Choose the Original FBM203 P0916AE0C
- ✅ Proven reliability in continuous process industries (oil & gas, chemical, power generation)
- ✅ Native I/A Series integration — no additional configuration adapters required
- ✅ 8-channel density reduces rack space and wiring complexity vs. 4-channel alternatives
- ✅ Long field service history with extensive spare parts availability
- ✅ Stable signal accuracy for critical process measurements
Typical Applications
- Oil & gas upstream/downstream process control
- Chemical plant DCS analog signal acquisition
- Power plant boiler and turbine monitoring
- Pharmaceutical batch process control
- Water treatment and utilities automation
- Pulp & paper process instrumentation
System Compatibility
- Platform: Foxboro I/A Series DCS (all generations)
- Baseplate: Compatible with standard FBM baseplates (verify slot type)
- Software: Foxboro Control Software (FCS) / IACC
- Fieldbus: Nodebus (standard); not native FOUNDATION Fieldbus without gateway
- Redundancy: Supports module redundancy configurations with appropriate hardware
Selection Guide
Use the table below to select the right FBM analog input module for your application:
- Need 8-ch AI, no HART → FBM203 P0916AE0C (this module)
- Need 8-ch AI + HART → FBM202 or FBM237
- Need 4-ch AI only → FBM201
- Need AI + AO combined → FBM207
- Need enhanced diagnostics → FBM204
- Replacing legacy FBM with modern equivalent → Contact Konmask for migration assessment

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Is P0916AE0C the same as P0916AEOC?
A: Yes. P0916AEOC is an alternate OCR-scanned notation of P0916AE0C — both refer to the same FBM203 module.
Q: Can FBM203 replace FBM202?
A: FBM203 and FBM202 share the same channel count but FBM202 adds HART support. FBM203 can replace FBM202 only in non-HART applications.
Q: Is FBM203 still in production?
A: The FBM203 is a mature/legacy product. Konmask maintains stock of new, refurbished, and tested units. Contact us for current availability.
Q: What baseplates are compatible?
A: Standard Foxboro I/A Series FBM baseplates. Verify the slot type (single/dual) matches your rack configuration.
Q: Do you provide a test report?
A: Yes, functional test reports and certificates of conformance are available upon request.
