Foxboro P0916RB0C Fieldbus Baseplate

Product Description

The Foxboro P0916RB0C is a robust Fieldbus Baseplate designed for the I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS). It provides a reliable mechanical and electrical foundation for mounting Compact 200 Series Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). In addition, the baseplate ensures secure connections between modules and the system bus, supporting smooth communication and power distribution.

Engineered for industrial environments, the P0916RB0C simplifies installation while maintaining high operational reliability. Moreover, it accommodates multiple FBMs, enabling flexible system configurations. Its sturdy construction and precise alignment mechanisms ensure modules remain securely in place during maintenance or field operations.

This baseplate enhances system performance by providing channel-to-channel and channel-to-system isolation through the FBMs. Therefore, it minimizes signal interference and supports consistent data integrity across complex automation networks. Its compatibility with field wiring termination assemblies allows straightforward integration with sensors, actuators, and other field devices.
