FOXBORO FBM201e P0924TR Analog Input Module – Stable 4–20 mA collection for I/A Series/200 Series systems
The FOXBORO FBM201e (order code P0924TR) is a field-proven analog input module designed for 4–20 mA current loops in process plants. From my experience, it fits especially well in brownfield upgrades where you want a drop-in replacement that keeps wiring intact and minimizes risk. You might notice that the “e” series brings enhanced performance and lifecycle support while retaining the familiar 200 Series baseplate form factor. In many cases, teams pair FBM201e modules in redundant configurations to keep loops online during maintenance.

Key Features
- 8-channel 4–20 mA analog input
– typically used for transmitters like pressure, level, and flow without HART pass-through. - Hot-swappable on the 200 Series baseplate
– swap modules with the system powered; in many cases no loop rewiring is needed. - Redundant module and fieldbus support
– commonly deployed as a redundant pair for higher availability. - Robust channel isolation and noise immunity
– designed for harsh industrial environments to reduce drift and interference. - Seamless integration with I/A Series control
– communicates over the FOXBORO module fieldbus via the baseplate to the controller. - Diagnostic reporting
– channel health and status information helps maintenance teams find issues faster.
Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | FOXBORO FBM201e (P0924TR) |
| HS Code | 8538.90 (Parts suitable for industrial control apparatus) |
| Signal Input/Output Types | 8 x Analog Inputs, 4–20 mA current loops (non-HART, typical) |
| Communication Interfaces | FOXBORO module fieldbus via 200 Series baseplate; supports redundant fieldbus operation |
| Power Requirements | Supplied from the 200 Series baseplate (24 VDC system power, typical module draw < 3 W) |
| Installation Method | Mounts on FOXBORO 200 Series baseplate (DIN-rail cabinet). Field wiring via associated terminal assembly (TA). |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +60 °C (typical cabinet environment) |
| Dimensions & Weight | Compact 200 Series FBM form factor; approx. handheld module size (~0.4–0.6 kg) |
Application Fields
Typical uses include pressure, temperature (via transmitter), level, and flow measurements in:
- Oil & gas – wellhead and separator instrumentation, utilities monitoring
- Chemical & petrochemical – reactor feedback, tank farm gauging
- Power generation – boiler balance-of-plant, water/steam loops
- Water & wastewater – lift stations, clarifiers, chemical dosing
- Pulp & paper – stock preparation, bleaching line transmitters
One thing I appreciate is how easily it drops into legacy 200 Series cabinets; a maintenance manager told me they swapped an FBM201e in under 10 minutes without re-terminating any field wiring.
Advantages & Value
- Operational reliability
– supports redundant module strategies and robust diagnostics to reduce unplanned downtime. - Lifecycle-friendly
– “e” series typically offers extended availability for modernization projects. - Compatibility
– fits existing FOXBORO 200 Series baseplates and I/A Series architectures. - Cost control
– hot-swap capability and minimal rewiring help cut maintenance time and contractor hours. - Support-ready
– we assist with module pairing, addressing, and commissioning tips when needed.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet environment
– mount on a 200 Series baseplate in a ventilated control cabinet; keep ambient within 0–60 °C and free from conductive dust. - Wiring practices
– route 4–20 mA loops with shielded twisted pairs; ground shields at one end to limit noise; verify loop power sizing if using 2-wire transmitters. - Redundancy setup
– when used as a redundant pair, confirm primary/secondary status and fieldbus health before switchover testing. - Safety precautions
– de-energize affected loops or use safe isolation; follow site lockout/tagout procedures; observe ESD handling for the module. - Routine maintenance
– check channel diagnostics quarterly, verify loop scaling during turnarounds, and keep controller/FBM firmware aligned per site policy.
Quality & Certifications
- Certifications: typically CE; many installations also reference UL/CSA and RoHS compliance for the module family
- Manufacturer specification conformance for industrial EMC and safety standards (factory control environments)
- Warranty: 365 days (repair/replace as per our sales terms)
If you’re upgrading or need a like-for-like spare, the FBM201e P0924TR seems to be a safe choice for standard 4–20 mA measurements. Tell me how many channels you’re consolidating and whether you want redundancy; I can match terminal assemblies and delivery to your maintenance window.
