MORE SAVINGS, MORE TIME, MORE OPTIONS.
The Universal FBM 247 is a single I/O Module that contains 8 individual channels, each providing a
wide range of analog, digital or pulse or HART I/O capabilities for the field devices throughout your
plant. The Universal FBM 247 enables an intelligent approach to Marshalling in that it eliminates
the costly and labor-intensive wiring work that was traditionally required to sort field wiring to the
appropriate I/O module. Now each field wire can be directly landed on the I/O mounting structure
and connected to the Universal FBM 247. Intelligent Marshalling creates significant cost savings
in the reduction of equipment and reduction in footprint from I/O room construction and saves
considerable efforts through out the lifecycle of the system.

Huge cost savings

• Elimination of marshalling infrastructure
• Increased I/O density per cabinet
• Reduced field and maintenance labor costs
• Decreased inventory and cost of spares
• Less engineering work and less documentation

• Cabinets to field before final design for the Foxboro Evo System.
• Easy to implement last minute design changes
• Less chances of error after Factory Acceptance

SAY GOODBYE TO INDIRECT PROJECT COSTS

SLASH YOUR TOTAL COST OF OWNERSHIP BY 35%
The elimination of Marshalling infrastructure means less racks, cabinets, termination strips, and wiring
to design, install and maintain. I/O termination assemblies are mounted on the I/O baseplate so
not only are you freeing up marshalling cabinet space, you are also freeing up space within the I/O
cabinet itself.   Now, your standard I/O cabinetry has the ability to house up to over 750 I/O points. In
installations where footprint is limited, this feature provides a huge benefit — improving I/O density by
up to 100%.

Intelligent Marshalling also means less engineering work and less documentation to maintain. The
engineering cost to assign signals to terminals and produce schedules for manufacturing is cut in
half, and there are now fewer and more simplified drawings to maintain.

With the Universal FBM 247, a single point can be an Analog
Input or Analog Output or HART or Digital Input or Digital
Output. This means an unused point on an I/O module can
count as a wired spare for each of those types, requiring much
less spare cards. Minimizing spare inventory is especially
valuable in DCS installations that have fixed requirements. With
Intelligent Marshalling, one I/O point on one module can fulfill
the requirement for what might otherwise be a costly inventory
of spare parts — reduction can be by up to 50%. You’ll have less
‘hot spares’ with less types of modules.

CONFIGURE AN I/O POINT FROM The Intelligent Marshalling concept
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD eliminates the need for Marshalling cabinets.

NO EXTRA HARDWARE REQUIRED

The Universal FBM 247 is completely software configurable. All changes can be made securely

from a Foxboro workstation which means you can configure an I/O point from anywhere in your

plant, or even anywhere in the world. This not only saves engineering time, but also reduces the

costs associated with physically sending Maintenance and Field Service technicians out into the

field to make a change. There is no extra module required to redirect I/O channels, all updates can

be made via software utilizing the Universal FBM 247.

Each channel on the Universal FBM 247 is isolated, so when one point is changed, all of the other
points on that module remain isolated and unaffected. Changing an I/O point no longer requires
installing a whole new module, opening a cabinet, driving to a remote location, purchasing an
airplane ticket, or incurring any of the other costly tasks usually required.

MEET YOUR START-UP SCHEDULE AND THEN SOME

LAST MINUTE CHANGES, NO PROBLEM
Intelligent Marshalling reduces time to implement your project and get your system up and
running. Because the FBM 247 is completely software configurable, last minute design changes
are made easy—no extra or new modules required. At Factory Acceptance Testing, check-out
becomes a snap with the elimination of marshalling cabinets and having to duplicate wiring efforts
on site. We can now ship cabinets to site before the final design is complete — reducing overall
delivery time and schedule.

This changes everyone

transform the way everyone in the plant performs – safer, simpler, better
Between uncovering new, emerging business opportunities and continually managing threats to
production, today requires a new breed of automation control system. The Foxboro Evo process
automation system has the power to handle the toughest assignments, the flexibility to change course
as circumstances evolve and a design that enables everyone — operators, engineers, maintenance techs,
managers and executives alike — to become more valuable contributors to plant safety and profitability.
