It routes field wiring from process sensors, transmitters, and actuators directly to paired Fieldbus Modules (FBMs), supporting up to 24 channels of analog current, RTD, thermocouple, and discrete signal types. The assembly provides galvanic isolation between field-side connections and system logic circuits to prevent electrical noise interference and preserve signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHardware Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cfigure class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eParameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eP0972TS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFoxboro (Schneider Electric)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Termination Assembly footprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard Foxboro I\/A Series TA mounting footprint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temp\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-20 to +70 deg C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePassive field termination assembly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChannels Supported\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 24 channels (FBM dependent)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSignal Types\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4-20 mA, RTD, Thermocouple, Discrete Signals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIsolation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGalvanic isolation between field wiring and logic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable terminal blocks (spring clamp or screw type)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiring Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e18 to 22 AWG copper conductors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnclosure Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandard 35 mm DIN rail or panel baseplate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol \u0026amp; Galvanic Isolation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eFoxboro P0972TS\u003c\/strong\u003e functions as an isolated termination interface designed to process 4-20 mA HART analog loops alongside millivolt, RTD, and discrete field signals. Galvanic isolation circuits separate the field wiring terminals from system backplane buses, isolating high-voltage transients and suppressing common-mode electrical noise. This physical barrier ensures accurate signal transfer between field transmitters and FBM modules while maintaining channel stability across process automation architectures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Does the P0972TS termination assembly require active firmware loading or field calibration?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the P0972TS is a passive field wiring interface unit that requires no firmware or field calibration. Signal mapping, channel assignment, and loop scaling are executed within the host EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS software environment upon assignment to the corresponding FBM module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How are field wiring connections maintained during module maintenance?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The unit utilizes removable terminal blocks (spring clamp or screw type) supporting 18 to 22 AWG copper conductors. Disconnecting the terminal block housing allows physical replacement of the assembly without detaching individual field signal wires.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMount the termination assembly chassis securely onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail or directly to a panel baseplate inside a protective IP54-rated industrial control cabinet. Maintain a minimum vertical clearance of 50 mm above and below the module housing to enable natural convection thermal dissipation and ensure adequate wire channel routing space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoute low-voltage field instrument cables separately from high-voltage power distribution lines to minimize inductive interference. Strip field conductors according to manufacturer specifications and secure them into the 18 to 22 AWG removable terminal blocks using recommended tightening torques. Connect signal cable drain wires directly to the cabinet earth ground bus at a single ground point to maintain galvanic isolation and noise suppression performance. Connect the interface cable from the P0972TS base assembly to the designated FBM slot port.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Foxboro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43931802075226,"sku":"P0972TS","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/5957\/0778\/files\/469._753f601b-4e8e-46d4-bb0e-4c4035efc64c.jpg?v=1787908919","url":"https:\/\/www.spareoil.com\/products\/foxboro-p0972ts-i-a-series-termination-assemblies-dcs-modules","provider":"SpareOil Automation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
