Foxboro P0400YE Input/Output Module

Product Description

The Foxboro P0400YE FBM04 module is a high-performance analog input/output solution designed for industrial automation. It seamlessly interfaces field devices such as sensors and actuators with the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System. This module processes four analog input channels and four analog output channels, delivering precise 0–20 mA signals for reliable process control.

Moreover, its 16-bit resolution ensures fine signal granularity, while ±0.1% accuracy provides consistent measurement reliability. Galvanic isolation between channels minimizes interference, enhancing both safety and signal integrity. In addition, redundant Fieldbus communication supports uninterrupted operation in demanding industrial environments.

The P0400YE module is ideal for critical applications in oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and advanced manufacturing. Its robust design withstands operating temperatures from –20 °C to +70 °C, ensuring stable performance under harsh conditions. Engineers can integrate this module into existing Foxboro systems quickly, benefiting from its dual input/output functionality and streamlined installation.
