Function:
Core function is to establish a reliable serial communication link between dual-ported field I/O devices and FOXBORO Evo™ or I/A Series DCS. It supports master-tracker redundant configuration, with automatic role switching when faults (e.g., heartbeat loss) are detected, or manual switching via SMDH. The four serial ports can be configured as a single logical port with redundant cables to connect dual-ported devices. It integrates field device data into the FOXBORO control database, supports downloadable I/O software drivers from the protocol library, and is compatible with custom drivers. Built-in self-diagnostic functions monitor port communication status and module operation, with LED indicators for operational status, communication activity, and master/tracker status. It also supports on-site mounting and seamless integration with FOXBORO control software for configuration and monitoring.

Input:
Power supply:24V DC (typical value), supporting redundant voltage input;
Power consumption: Maximum 8.5W per non-fault-tolerant module; Receives data signals from dual-ported field I/O devices via serial ports, compatible with RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces.

Output:
Four independently configurable serial ports, each switchable between RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 via software; Supports asynchronous communication with 8-bit characters, odd/even/no parity, and 1-2 stop bit.
Transmission rate: 300 to 115200 baud; Up to 64 RS-485 devices (16 per port) or 4 direct-connect RS-232/RS-422 devices can be connected; Up to 2000 DCI block connections; Galvanically isolated channels, withstands 600V AC for 1 minute (not for permanent connection).

Features:
1.Redundant design: Adopts master-tracker dual-module redundant architecture, with automatic role switching to ensure uninterrupted operation.
2.Flexible port configuration: Four serial ports, each independently configurable for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485, supporting diverse on-site device connections.
3.High compatibility: Seamlessly integrated with FOXBORO Evo™ and I/A Series DCS, supporting downloadable drivers and custom protocols.
4.Industrial-grade reliability: Rugged extruded aluminum exterior, IP20 protection rating, compliant with IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration) and IEC 60068-2-27 (impact) standards, suitable for G3-level harsh environments.
5.Strong anti-interference: Galvanic isolation between channels, excellent electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance, ensuring stable operation in high-electromagnetic-interference environments.
6.Easy maintenance: LED status indicators for quick fault diagnosis, modular design for easy installation and replacement, compatible with FOXBORO control software for remote configuration and monitoring.
7.High capacity: Supports up to 64 RS-485 devices or 4 direct-connect RS-232/RS-422 devices, and up to 2000 DCI block connections, meeting large-scale industrial application needs. Compliance: Follows IEC61508/61511 safety standards, ensuring reliability in critical control scenarios.

Application:
Widely used in various industrial fields requiring stable serial communication and redundant control, including petrochemical, power generation (thermal, hydro, nuclear), oil and gas, pulp and paper, water and wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and metallurgy industries. In petrochemical plants, it connects on-site dual-ported I/O devices (e.g., flow meters, pressure transmitters) to the DCS for real-time data transmission and control. In power plants, it is used for communication between auxiliary system devices and the control system, ensuring stable operation of boiler and steam turbine control processes. In water treatment facilities, it integrates data from water quality monitoring devices to support precise chemical dosing and water purification control. It is also suitable for harsh industrial environments such as cement plants and marine auxiliary equipment control, providing reliable communication support for continuous production.
