Description
Based on previous searches and the available information online, the FOXBORO P0916WE appears to be a termination cable used within the FOXBORO I/A Series system for industrial process control applications. Here’s a breakdown of its key characteristics:
Function:
- The P0916WE is not an electronic module but rather a cable assembly designed to terminate field device cables within the FOXBORO I/A Series system.
- It likely provides a reliable connection point between the field device cable and the I/A Series system wiring, ensuring proper signal transmission.
Features (based on similar models):
- The specific details of the P0916WE, like the connector type on one end for the I/A Series system and the termination method for the field device cable on the other end, might be difficult to determine from the part number alone.
- Here are some general features termination cables like P0916WE might offer:
- Durable outer jacket material (possibly Hypalon based on previous FOXBORO cable information) for protection in industrial environments.
- Connector on one end designed for compatibility with the I/A Series system’s backplane or terminal blocks.
- Termination method on the other end for connecting to the specific field device cable type (e.g., screw terminals, wire clamps).
Applications (within FOXBORO I/A Series systems):
- Field device connection: The P0916WE cable simplifies and ensures proper connection of various field devices (sensors, transmitters) to the I/A Series system wiring.
- Signal transmission: By providing a reliable connection point, it facilitates the transmission of process signals from the field devices to the I/A Series controllers.
Finding More Information:
A specific datasheet for the P0916WE termination cable might be difficult to find publicly due to the potential age of the product. Here are some ways to learn more about its functionalities and compatibility:
- Emerson Automation Support (FOXBORO is now part of Emerson): Since FOXBORO is now part of Emerson Automation Solutions, contacting their process control support is likely the most effective way to obtain details about the P0916WE cable. They might have access to archived information or recommend suitable replacement cables from their current offerings.
- System Documentation (if available): If you have access to user manuals or installation guides for your specific FOXBORO (now Emerson) I/A Series system, it should provide information about compatible termination cables for connecting field devices. Look for sections on system wiring or field device installation.
- Industrial Parts Suppliers (limited information): Some suppliers sell replacement or surplus FOXBORO (now Emerson) automation components, including termination cables [supplier 1], [supplier 2], [supplier 3] (similar to previous searches, I cannot share URLs but searching the part number should lead you to product pages). These listings may offer:
- Limited information about the P0916WE cable’s specifications (connector type, termination method) (if available in their database).
- Compatibility details with specific FOXBORO (now Emerson) I/A Series system versions (depending on the supplier information).
Additional Tips:
- Consider the context in which you encountered the P0916WE (e.g., mentioned in a system manual for connecting a specific field device). This context can provide clues about the type of connector it uses for the I/A Series system and the potential termination method for the field device cable.
- If you have a physical sample of the P0916WE cable, look for any markings on the cable jacket or connector that might indicate the connector type for the I/A Series system and any details about the termination method for further searching.
By using a combination of these approaches, you should be able to gain a comprehensive understanding of the FOXBORO P0916WE termination cable and its role in facilitating reliable connection of field devices within FOXBORO I/A Series systems (now part of Emerson Automation Solutions) for industrial process control applications.
