Foxboro P0916QD Redundant Adapter I/A Series

Product Description

The Foxboro P0916QD is a Redundant Adapter I/A Series designed for the I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It provides a reliable physical interface between field wiring, including sensors, transmitters, and actuators, and Foxboro Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). This termination assembly ensures stable signal transmission, even in harsh industrial environments.

Engineered with compression-type terminals, the P0916QD eliminates the need for soldering while providing secure and vibration-resistant connections. Moreover, it safeguards system electronics through channel-to-channel and channel-to-system isolation, reducing electrical noise and improving measurement accuracy.

In addition, the module supports both analog and digital signal types depending on the connected FBM, making it highly versatile for process control and industrial automation applications. Its compact design allows easy DIN rail or rack mounting, simplifying installation and maintenance.
