Overview

The EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Field Mounted Intelligent Enclosure provides an

integrated solution designed to be mounted close to instruments in the field to reduce

cables. The Field Mounted Enclosure includes Universal Input/Output (UIO) modules,

power supplies, and Termination Assemblies (TAs) that are pre-installed and tested,

and can be connected to a wide range of field devices. The enclosure supports

Schneider Electric’s Flexible Lean Execution strategy, which shortens project

schedules and reduces the risk of startup delays.

The Field Mounted Intelligent Enclosure is designed to be mounted in the field, and

connects through redundant single mode fiber to the Field Control Processors located

in the Equipment Room Intelligent Enclosure. For more information, refer to

Equipment Room Intelligent Enclosure (PSS 41H-2I30).

The enclosure supports up to 64 standard Universal I/O channels in simplex,

redundant, or simplex and redundant combinations, and optionally accommodates

integration of third party PLCs using simplex or redundant Field Device System

Integration modules supporting Modbus TCP.

A second enclosure can be cascaded from the first enclosure using single mode fiber

or copper cable, saving on communication home run cable to the equipment room.

Field cables, communication cables, and power cables enter the enclosure through

cable glands or a multi-cable transit (optional) located at the bottom of the enclosure.

The channel-to-channel isolated Universal I/O Module supports DI, DO, AI, AO,

HART, NAMUR, Pulse, and 1 ms SOE signal types.

Field cables terminate directly on Termination Assemblies (TAs) with signal

conditioners for optional field signal processing. Refer to Termination Assemblies and

Signal Conditioners, page 8.

Terminals are provided to terminate spare field cable cores and screens. This rugged,

unpainted SS316L stainless steel enclosure can be mounted in harsh environmental

and hazardous areas.

Features

• Protection against harsh environments and hazardous locations:

◦ NEMA® 4X/IP66 rated

◦ Class G3 (harsh) environment

◦ ATEX

• Universal I/O and TAs support any one of these options:

◦ 64 Simplex I/O

◦ 64 Redundant I/O

◦ 48 Simplex and 16 Redundant I/O

• Up to 16 Universal Standard I/O modules (8 x FBM247, 16 x FBM248, or

4 x FBM248 and 6 x FBM247) that support 64 simplex, redundant, or simplex and

redundant I/O Channels using TAs and signal conditioners

• Redundant Field Communication Modules (FCM2F10) for single mode fiber

communication to FCP280

• Up to two Field Device System Integrator Standard modules

(1 x or 2 x FBM232, 2 x FBM233) for Modbus TCP Communication

• Daisy chain from one enclosure to the next to reduce home run cables for

communication and power. Alternatively, the power output used to daisy chain an

enclosure can be used to provide power to a wireless field device access point

installed outside of the enclosure

• Up to two Fieldbus Isolator/Repeator modules for daisy chaining enclosures

using Copper (FBI200) or Fiber Optic cable (FCM2F10)

• 12-port fiber optic patch panel with STconnectors for terminating and distributing

fiber-optic cables for communication to the enclosure and wireless field device

access point

• Document pocket inside front door

• Door stoppers to help prevent the door from swinging or opening too widely

• 120 V AC, 230 V AC system supply

• Supports the Intelligent Commissioning Wizard, which significantly reduces

commissioning effort and shortens the time to plant start-up (see Field Device

Expert for HART Devices Control and I/O (PSS 41S-10FDMHRT))

Environmental Protection

The enclosure provides NEMA4X/IP66 environmental protection, allowing it to be

used in harsh locations.

Thermal Protection

Heat from the equipment mounted within the enclosure is convected naturally and is

dissipated by the exterior surfaces of the enclosure. For operating in ambient

temperatures up to 55° C (131° F), natural convection is supplemented by two

redundant fans that circulate air within the sealed enclosure.

The fans and temperature within the enclosure are monitored by the Enclosure

Monitoring Unit (EMU) that provides a diagnostic alarm on fan deterioration or

enclosure over temperature.

Leave a minimum of 150 mm (6 in) space between adjacent cabinets or a cabinet and

a wall, to allow the flow of air to cool the cabinet.

Cable Entry

Bottom cable entry for power, communication, and field cables is through customer

supplied cable glands that maintain the enclosure protection classification, or optional

factory fitted Multi Cable Transit (MCT).

Modular Baseplate Mounting

The enclosure contains two 8-position standard 200 Series modular baseplates for

Foxboro DCS Fieldbus Modules (FBMs), and two 2-position baseplates for the

FCM2F10s. These are mounted on two vertical DIN rails as shown in Figure 1, page

7. The FBM baseplates include signal connectors for the FBMs, redundant

independent DC power connections, system cable connections, module fieldbus

connections, and time synchronization connections.

For more information on the modular baseplates, see Standard 200 Series

Baseplates (PSS 41H-2SBASPLT).

Field Termination Assemblies

Termination Assemblies (TAs) are installed on the DIN rails mounted at the sides of

the FBM baseplates. The Universal I/O modules are connected to the TAs with preinstalled system cables.

The TAs are supplied with redundant 24 V DC, protected by fuses that are monitored

by the Fuse Monitoring Unit (FMU).

The enclosure is shipped with TAs fitted with passive feed-through signal conditioners

which you can replace with the signal conditioners listed in the section Termination

Assemblies and Signal Conditioners, page 8.

Power Distribution Architecture

The enclosure provides a redundant 24 V power system using two FPS480-24 power

supplies fed by independent sources. Power wiring is routed through the bottom of the

enclosure. The input power connects to the primary and secondary entry terminal

blocks for main and backup power.

Electrical fuses are monitored by the Fuse Monitoring Unit (FMU) and an open fuse

indication from the FMU is wired into the Enclosure Monitoring Unit (EMU) through the

Alarm Distribution Assembly.

Grounding

All enclosure structural elements are integrally grounded by the enclosure design to

meet the appropriate industry regulations and standards. The enclosure is equipped

with two instrument earth bars. It also has a protective connection point at the outside

bottom of the enclosure for customer grounding purposes. Field wiring shields can be

terminated either to the Terminal Assemblies or to the instrument ground bus bar.

Spare signal wires and shields can be terminated either to the Terminal Assemblies or

to the instrument ground bus bar.

Enclosure Diagnostic Alarms

The EMU provides an alarm for power supply failure detection, fuse failure detection

via the FMU, door open, fan deterioration, and enclosure over temperature. The EMU

provides a composite diagnostic alarm from a graduated analog signal that indicates

individual alarms and is prewired to a Universal I/O module channel for indication and

alarm.

Enclosure Security

The enclosure can be physically locked with a customer-supplied padlock to provide

physical security. The enclosure is also fitted with a door open switch that is alarmed

via the Enclosure Monitoring Unit to alert plant personnel.

Enclosure Options

The enclosure can be configured with the following options:

• 120 V AC or 230 V AC supply

• Customer supplied cable glands or factory fitted Multi Cable Transit (MCT)

• Termination Assembly selection for IS, Non-IS, and manufacturer

• 64 simplex UIO points, 64 redundant UIO points, or 48 simplex and 16 redundant

UIO points

• Third party communications through FBM232 modules for simplex Ethernet or

FBM233 modules for redundant Ethernet

• Fiber optic connection to the HDLC Fieldbus using FCM2F10 modules

• Extended twinaxial connection to the HDLC Fieldbus using FBI200 modules
