Overview of the FBM242 Discrete Output Interface Module

The Compact FBM242 Discrete Output Interface Module dcs-sis.com contains 16 discrete output channels that are externally powered and rated up to 2 A at 60 VDC.

It is part of the Compact 200 Series I/O subsystem described in the Compact 200 Series I/O Subsystem Overview (Ref. 1).

The associated termination assembly (TA) provides discrete outputs for 2 A 60 VDC voltage loads, relay outputs (120 V AC/125 VDC or 240 V AC), or relay outputs with power distribution and fuses. Each output is completely isolated from other channels and ground.

The module connects the electrical output signals from the control processor to field devices. It performs digital I/O applications, supports ladder logic, and provides fail-safe configuration options for the outputs.
