Description
The Foxboro P0916CC is a specialized terminal board assembly designed for the I/A Series 200 I/O subsystem. This component functions as a critical interface bridge, connecting field-level instrumentation to the system's Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). By providing a structured and secure termination point, the P0916CC ensures reliable signal distribution and protects the integrity of the control system against field-side electrical faults.
Features
- Designed for integration within the Foxboro I/A Series 200 architecture.
- High-density screw-terminal interface for secure and reliable field wiring.
- Facilitates streamlined signal routing for both analog and discrete I/O configurations.
- Integrated passive noise filtering to maintain signal clarity.
- Includes dedicated test points for convenient loop diagnostics and maintenance verification.
- Rugged construction capable of withstanding standard industrial thermal and vibration profiles.
Applications
This termination assembly is widely deployed in mission-critical process control environments, including petrochemical refineries, power generation plants, and chemical processing facilities. It is essential for systems requiring high-availability signal paths and modular maintenance capabilities.

Installation Guidelines
- Ensure all power is disconnected from the I/O subsystem before installing or removing the terminal board.
- Mount the unit in a clean, dry location within the control cabinet, ensuring adequate clearance for cable management.
- Use appropriate ESD protection when handling the module to prevent damage to integrated circuits.
- Verify that field wiring is properly secured in the screw terminals to prevent intermittent connections caused by industrial vibration.
- Route signal cables separately from high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI).
- Periodically inspect terminal connections for signs of oxidation or thermal stress as part of routine preventative maintenance.
FAQ
Is the P0916CC compatible with all Foxboro FBMs?
The P0916CC is designed for specific I/A Series 200 applications. Please verify your FBM compatibility list and system documentation to ensure the specific pinout and signal requirements match your current module configuration.
Can I replace this board while the system is running?
While the modular design allows for easier maintenance, you must follow your site's specific safety procedures and the Foxboro I/A Series hardware manual regarding hot-swapping or power-down requirements for your specific I/O configuration.
