Foxboro P0926HF Standard 200 Series 4-position Baseplates

The Foxboro P0926HF is a 4-position modular baseplate designed for the Field Control Processor 270 (FCP270) and can accommodate up to two FCP270 modules with two Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) or four FBMs. It supports redundant configurations and provides a robust platform for mounting various system modules in distributed control environments.

Key Features

• Module Positions: Supports 4 module positions for:

  • Fault-tolerant pair of FCP270s
  • Up to 4 FBMs
  • Combination of FCP270 with optional Fieldbus Expansion Modules (FEMs)

• Power Requirements:

  • Input Voltage Range: 24 V DC (redundant)

• Installation:

  • Mounting configurations: Horizontal or Vertical DIN rail mount
  • Attachments via fasteners for secure installation
  • Can be mounted in both internal and external enclosures

Features

• Support for Various Modules: The P0926HF can support:
  • Fault-tolerant pair of FCP270s.
  • Up to 4 FBMs or 2 FCMs and 2 FBMs.
• Baseplate Identification: Equipped with a baseplate identification DIP switch for module identification.
• Increased I/O Distribution: Modular baseplates can be utilized for system installations requiring enhanced I/O distribution and future upgrades.
• Flexibility: 4-position and 8-position configurations support diverse mounting options and can be upgraded incrementally.
• Fiber Optic Support: Provides mounting positions for fiber optic splitter/combiners.
• Passive Backplane: Enhances system reliability through a passive backplane design.
• Module Placement Rules: Non-redundant FBMs can be placed in any available position; redundant FBMs must be in adjacent odd/even paired positions.
