Foxboro ETM-IS 31-001 Ethernet Communication Module

Product Type: Industrial Standard Ethernet Interface Module for I/A Series DCS

Overview:
The Foxboro ETM-IS 31-001 is an Ethernet communication module designed for the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System. It provides the interface between the I/A Series controller network and standard industrial Ethernet networks. The module enables communication with operator stations, engineering workstations, peer controllers, and upper-level systems (MES, ERP) via TCP/IP protocols.

Category:
Description

Functional Features:

  • Provides 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity (RJ-45 port)
  • Supports TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and Modbus TCP protocols
  • Enables peer-to-peer controller communication for distributed control architectures
  • Supports redundant Ethernet paths (dual port configuration available in some variants)
  • Provides network diagnostics including link status, packet loss, and latency monitoring
  • Compatible with I/A Series operator stations and third-party HMI/SCADA systems
  • Supports VLAN tagging for network segmentation

Technical Specifications:

  • Ethernet Standard: IEEE 802.3 (10BASE-T) and IEEE 802.3u (100BASE-TX)
  • Port Speed: 10/100 Mbps auto-negotiation
  • Connector: RJ-45 (copper Ethernet)
  • Protocols: TCP/IP, UDP/IP, Modbus TCP, I/A Series proprietary protocol
  • Max Node Count: 256 nodes per Ethernet segment (standard)
  • Cable Type: Category 5e or better shielded twisted pair (STP)
  • Max Cable Length: 100 m (328 ft) per segment
  • Operating Temperature: 0°C to +60°C (+32°F to +140°F)
  • Power Supply: +5 VDC from I/A Series backplane
  • Module Format: Standard I/A Series half-width card
  • LED Indicators: Link, Activity, Full/Half Duplex, 10/100 Mbps

Material Composition:

  • PCB: Multi-layer FR-4 with EMI shielding can
  • Connector: Shielded RJ-45 with integrated magnetics
  • Housing: Metal shield with conductive gasket for EMI protection

Applicable Industries:
Oil and Gas, Chemical Processing, Power Generation, Water Treatment, Pulp and Paper, Mining

Installation Requirements:

  • Installed in a standard I/A Series I/O chassis (IOCAR, IOCHAS, or equivalent)
  • Connected to Ethernet switch via shielded Cat 5e/Cat 6 cable
  • Must be configured with a unique IP address via I/A Series Control Builder
  • Network segmentation via managed switches recommended for large installations
  • Requires proper grounding of Ethernet shield at one end only

Advantages:

  • Standard Ethernet eliminates need for proprietary network hardware
  • High-speed peer communication enables distributed control with low latency
  • Full protocol support allows integration with third-party systems (SCADA, MES, Historian)
  • Network diagnostics built into the module simplify troubleshooting
