FOXBORO P0916AW – 200 Series FBM Module Assembly for I/A Series Process Control
The FOXBORO P0916AW is a 200 Series field I/O module assembly used in I/A Series control systems. In many cases it’s supplied as the coded hardware part for a specific FBM (Fieldbus Module) function—typically installed on a 200 Series baseplate with a matching Terminal Assembly (TA) for field wiring. From my experience, sites use the P0916AW when they need a drop-in replacement to keep brownfield assets stable without re-engineering the cabinet or re-terminating field cables.
Order Placement Process & Guarantees
- Warranty: 365 days
- Lead time: typically 1 week if in stock; no more than 1 month latest
- Payment: 50% advance, remaining balance prior to delivery
- Express options: FedEx, UPS, DHL
Key Features
- Direct 200 Series compatibility – Plugs into the standard FOXBORO 200 Series baseplate; no cabinet redesign in most cases.
- Matched to field Terminal Assemblies (TAs) – You might notice that the P0916AW is commonly paired with P0926xx TA part numbers to keep wiring unchanged.
- Designed for process environments – Industrial temperature range and robust mechanics suit continuous-process plants.
- Stable lifecycle support – Often stocked as a maintenance spare to minimize downtime during planned turnarounds.
- Clean replacement workflow – One thing I appreciate is how quickly maintenance teams swap the module with minimal controller interruption, especially on redundant segments.
Typical Use Cases
- Brownfield replacement of an existing FBM where the coded hardware is P0916AW, keeping the same TA and baseplate.
- Stocking as a spare for critical loops in chemical, oil & gas, or power plants to reduce mean time to repair.
- Incremental expansion on a 200 Series cabinet—adding channels without changing the cabinet standards.
Technical Specifications
Specifications below reflect common parameters for FOXBORO 200 Series FBM assemblies. Certain details may vary by the specific FBM function the P0916AW is coded for.
| Brand / Model | FOXBORO P0916AW (200 Series FBM module assembly) |
| HS Code | 8537.10 – Boards/panels/consoles for electric control or distribution (industrial control equipment) |
| Power Requirements | 24 VDC supplied via 200 Series baseplate; typical consumption < 5 W (varies by FBM type) |
| Dimensions & Weight | Single-wide 200 Series form factor; approx. 143 × 38 × 142 mm; ~0.5 kg (typical) |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +60 °C typical for cabinet-installed FBM modules |
| Signal I/O Types | Depends on the FBM function associated with P0916AW coding; commonly Analog (4–20 mA/HART), RTD/TC, or Discrete 24 VDC |
| Communication Interfaces | FOXBORO 200 Series fieldbus via baseplate to the controller; no user Ethernet/serial on the module itself |
| Installation Method | Plugs into 200 Series baseplate; field wiring through matching TA (Terminal Assembly) and system cable |
Related or Supporting Products
- FOXBORO FBM201 / FBM207 / FBM214 / FBM217 Series – Common I/O FBMs that the P0916AW assembly may be associated with, depending on function.
- Terminal Assemblies (e.g., P0926xx variants) – Matching TA modules for field wiring; selection depends on signal type (AI, AO, DI, DO, RTD/TC).
- 200 Series Baseplates – Standard backplane for FBMs; redundant configurations are typical in critical units.
- Comparable replacements – Other P0916A* coded assemblies (e.g., P0916AA/P0916AG) may be functionally similar; the exact match should follow your existing module label and marshalling.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet & environment – Install on a FOXBORO 200 Series baseplate inside a clean, ventilated cabinet. Maintain ambient 0–60 °C and avoid direct heat sources.
- Ventilation & spacing – Provide airflow and keep adjacent modules within standard spacing; this typically reduces thermal derating.
- Wiring – Route field signals to the correct TA model; verify shield grounding per site standards. Always match the TA to the FBM function.
- Safety – De-energize the baseplate segment before insertion/removal if hot-swap is not approved by your site procedure. Use ESD protection during handling.
- Routine checks – Periodically inspect connectors and TA screws for looseness; confirm firmware/module revision alignment in the control database before commissioning.
A maintenance lead at a refinery told me they keep two P0916AW units on the shelf; “swaps take minutes during a pause,” which seems to be the fastest way to de-risk unplanned trips.
Quality & Certifications
- Typical marks for FOXBORO FBM hardware: CE and UL; RoHS compliance is common on later production runs.
- Manufacturer’s standard quality system aligns with ISO-based processes for industrial control equipment.
- Warranty: 365 days from delivery (see Order Placement & Guarantees).
If you can share the exact FBM function printed on your existing module label (e.g., FBM2xx type and TA code), I can confirm compatibility and finalize the shipping window. In most cases, the P0916AW serves as a straightforward one-for-one replacement in the same slot and TA.
