Foxboro P0916BX FBM214 FBM216 Terminal Block Assembly

Foxboro P0916BX FBM214 FBM216 Termination Assembly

The Foxboro P0916BX, also cataloged as the P0916BX Termination Assembly, operates as a dedicated hardware component for field signal termination and cable routing within Foxboro I/A Series DCS platforms.

Hardware Specifications

Process Control Instrumentation Features

The Foxboro P0916BX provides organized channel-to-channel isolation physical barriers when terminating high-density field wiring to FBM214 and FBM216 input modules. Designed to maintain signal continuity for 4-20 mA HART loop protocol communications, this three-tier assembly eliminates signal noise and prevents crosstalk between individual transmitter loops. The polyamide enclosure offers galvanic isolation properties across terminal blocks, ensuring reliable interconnectivity between field instrumentation and the primary Foxboro I/A Series backplane network without requiring external power.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the P0916BX termination assembly support direct connection to 32 mm DIN rails without adapters?

A: Yes, the mounting base features universal DIN rail locking clips that accommodate both 32 mm and 35 mm DIN rail profiles directly.

Q: What interface cable connector does the P0916BX require to connect to FBM214 modules?

A: The assembly incorporates an integrated 25-pin male D-subminiature connector that accepts standard Foxboro multi-conductor interface cables.

Field Installation Guidelines

Mounting the Foxboro P0916BX requires snapping the assembly firmly onto a grounded 32 mm or 35 mm DIN rail inside the control cabinet. Secure the 25-pin D-subminiature interface cable to the module header before tightening field wiring screws.
