Description

Description

The FBM18 is an input module developed by FOXBORO, a well – respected name in industrial automation. This module is crafted to offer accurate data acquisition and seamless integration within industrial control systems, catering to a wide range of applications.

Application Scenarios

In a large – scale oil refinery, the refining process involves complex operations where precise control of temperature, pressure, and flow rates is crucial. The refinery previously faced challenges in accurately monitoring the data from numerous intelligent transmitters, which led to inefficiencies in the refining process and potential safety risks. After integrating the FBM18 module, the situation improved significantly. The FBM18 was used to manage the input data from intelligent transmitters that monitored key parameters. It accurately processed the real – time data and transmitted it to the control system, resulting in a 10% increase in production efficiency and a notable reduction in safety – related incidents due to improved process monitoring.
