Product Description

The FOXBORO FBM215 is a compact HART® communication output interface module designed for advanced industrial control systems. It provides eight isolated output channels, each capable of outputting a standard 4 to 20 mA analog signal or a digital HART Frequency-Shift-Keyed (FSK) signal superimposed on the analog signal. This module supports both standard analog devices and HART intelligent devices, enabling flexible and efficient communication and control.
