8-Point RTD Input Module FBM203 P0914SV | Foxboro I/A Series

Overview
The Foxboro FBM203 P0914SV is a high-precision RTD Input Module designed for use within the Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS). This module provides eight independent RTD input channels that can accept both 2-wire and 3-wire resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors. Each channel offers galvanic isolation to ensure accurate, noise-free signal measurement in industrial environments.

Engineered for process automation and temperature monitoring applications, the FBM203 P0914SV converts RTD sensor resistance values into digital data for precise process control and data acquisition.
