Foxboro P0917LK‑0B FBM Baseplate Carrier Assembly I/A Series

Product Description

The Foxboro P0917LK‑0B is a robust Fieldbus Module (FBM) baseplate and carrier assembly engineered for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It delivers mechanical support, electrical power distribution, and high-speed backplane communication for FBM200-series I/O modules.

This assembly serves as the central connection hub between installed FBMs and field termination assemblies (FTAs), ensuring reliable signal routing, stable power supply, and secure communication with the control processor. Its design accommodates both simplex and redundant configurations, providing high availability in mission-critical industrial applications.

The P0917LK‑0B supports hot-swappable installation, enabling FBM modules to be replaced or upgraded without interrupting system operation. Constructed from industrial-grade aluminum, it offers long-term durability in harsh factory or plant environments.
