Foxboro CI029198U008 Redundant HART Input Module

Product Description

The Foxboro CI029198U008 is a redundant HART input module engineered for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). Designed for continuous, high-precision signal acquisition, this module supports HART communication and fault-tolerant operation, ensuring uninterrupted performance in mission-critical industrial environments.

Featuring dual isolated input channels, the CI029198U008 maintains accurate measurements even if one channel fails. It supports universal analog inputs—including current (mA), voltage (V), and HART-enabled signals—allowing flexible integration with smart field transmitters.

This module operates reliably under harsh conditions, supports redundant 24 VDC power, and integrates seamlessly with I/A Series DCS racks. Supplied brand-new and factory-sealed, it includes a 12-month warranty.
