Isolated Communication Solution – Foxboro FBM224 P0926GG | I/A Series Fieldbus I/O
Where This Product Is Used
The Foxboro FBM224 (Part No. P0926GG) Isolated Communication Module is deployed in mission-critical distributed control system (DCS) environments where signal isolation and reliable fieldbus communication are non-negotiable. Typical application sites include:
- Oil & Gas Upstream/Downstream: Wellhead automation, pipeline SCADA, and refinery process control loops requiring galvanic isolation to prevent ground-loop interference.
- Power Generation: Turbine control panels and boiler management systems where high-voltage transients demand robust isolation barriers.
- Chemical & Petrochemical Plants: Reactor monitoring and batch control architectures built on Foxboro I/A Series infrastructure.
- Pulp & Paper / Water Treatment: Multi-drop fieldbus segments connecting remote field instruments to the DCS controller.
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: FDA-regulated process lines requiring validated, isolated I/O for data integrity.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the FBM224 P0926GG compatible with Foxboro Evo DCS?
A: The FBM224 is designed for the classic I/A Series architecture. Compatibility with Foxboro Evo depends on the specific Evo configuration and baseplate revision — contact us to confirm before ordering.
Q: Can this module be used as a hot-standby redundant pair?
A: Redundancy configuration depends on the system architecture and controller type. The FBM224 supports the I/A Series redundancy schemes when paired with the appropriate redundant baseplate and controller.
Q: What is the typical lead time?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical sourcing lead time is 2–4 weeks. Expedited options are available.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested/refurbished units and passes through OEM warranty on new-in-box stock where applicable.
Q: Can you supply the full I/A Series system, not just this module?
A: Yes. Konmask specializes in complete DCS system sourcing. Contact us with your full BOM for a consolidated quotation.
