Foxboro P0916CC I/A Series Module – Form-Fit Replacement for I/A Series Control Systems
The Foxboro P0916CC is a replacement module used within the I/A Series architecture. From my experience, it’s selected when teams want a form/fit/function spare that drops straight into existing I/A Series baseplates and termination assemblies—with minimal disruption to running loops. You might notice that many sites keep one or two on the shelf specifically to shorten downtime during scheduled turnarounds or unexpected outages.
Company’s Order Placement Process and Guarantees

Key Features
- I/A Series compatibility: Designed for Foxboro I/A Series systems, typically a direct mechanical and electrical fit on standard baseplates.
- Form-fit-function replacement: Keeps existing wiring and termination assemblies (TA) intact—saves rewiring effort in many cases.
- Stable process uptime: Teams often use it as a quick swap spare to shorten mean time to repair during trips or bad actor events.
- Diagnostics visibility: Integrates with I/A Series system diagnostics so maintenance can see status and fault conditions quickly.
- Ruggedized for industrial environments: Built for control cabinets in refineries, power plants, and similar conditions.
- Lifecycle support: Practical for extension of legacy I/A assets while planning phased migrations.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | Foxboro P0916CC (I/A Series Module) |
| HS Code | 8537.10 (Boards/panels/consoles for electric control, ≤1000 V) |
| Power Requirements | Supplied via I/A Series baseplate; nominal 24 VDC distribution (typical for FBM-class modules) |
| Dimensions & Weight | Approx. 115 × 45 × 96 mm; ~0.3 kg (single-width module form factor, typical) |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to 50 °C under control cabinet conditions (typical I/A Series environment) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | Varies by deployed function within the I/A Series (analog 4–20 mA/HART or discrete I/O when paired with the matching termination assembly); confirm against site BOM |
| Communication Interfaces | I/A Series backplane interface; field wiring via TA; system diagnostics via Foxboro engineering workstation (behavior may vary by revision) |
| Installation Method | Single-wide module; installs on I/A Series baseplate; captive locking; optional redundancy when supported by the slot pair |
Application Fields
Common in process plants that run Foxboro DCS. Typical sites include:
- Oil & Gas and petrochemicals – unit upgrades, MOC projects, and spares for legacy cabinets
- Power generation – boiler/BOP control loops and trip protection I/O
- Water & wastewater – stable analog input/output servicing for plant areas
- Pulp & paper / chemicals – long-life replacements during phased migrations
- Pharmaceutical & fine chemicals – when validated systems must retain original hardware families
One thing I appreciate is how it helps teams keep legacy I/A assets both serviceable and safe until a larger modernization is budgeted. A maintenance lead told us they swapped a P09-series module during a night shift and were back online in under 30 minutes—no re-termination needed.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability: Proven I/A Series mechanical fit and stable performance in control cabinets.
- Compatibility: Keeps existing baseplates and TAs; typically no panel rework.
- Lower total effort: Swap-in replacement minimizes downtime and avoids new loop documentation in many cases.
- Sourcing confidence: Tested unit with 365-day warranty provides practical risk reduction.
- Lifecycle bridge: Supports a staged migration strategy without rushing a full DCS overhaul.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & environment: Install in a clean, ventilated control cabinet; maintain ambient 0–50 °C and avoid condensation.
- Power & grounding: Use the standard I/A baseplate 24 VDC distribution; ensure proper panel grounding and shielding practices.
- Wiring: Field signals land on the termination assembly (TA); verify the TA part number matches the intended I/O function.
- Hot-swap practice: Many I/A modules are hot-swappable on redundant baseplates; follow site MOC and vendor procedures before removal/insertion.
- ESD care: Handle with ESD protection; keep connectors and edges clean.
- Routine checks: Review system diagnostics periodically; keep firmware and configuration aligned with the control strategy and site backups.
- Cleaning: If needed, use dry, oil-free air; avoid liquids or aggressive solvents.
Quality & Certifications
- Certifications (typical for I/A Series modules): CE, UL/cUL; designed to meet relevant EMC and safety standards.
- Manufacturing quality: Produced under ISO 9001 quality systems (brand family).
- Warranty: 365-day replacement warranty from shipment date.
Note: The P0916CC designation is part of the I/A Series component coding. Because revisions and functions can vary by installed system, it’s best to confirm the exact role of the module against your I/A Series BOM or controller/FBM layout before ordering. If you share your TA/baseplate part numbers and slot plan, we can validate compatibility quickly.
