Description
FOXBORO P0970BP Temperature Transmitter
Product Dimensions:
Foxboro Temperature Transmitters (by Schneider Electric) convert signals from temperature sensors—such as RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) and thermocouples—into standard analog or digital output signals for process control systems.
Detailed Description
Foxboro temperature transmitters (such as the widely used RTT15 and RTT20 series) provide precise, reliable, and stable temperature measurement in severe industrial environments. They accept inputs from RTDs, thermocouples, millivolt sources, and ohm sensors, processing the microvolt-level signals into robust 4-20 mA current loops, HART, Foundation Fieldbus, or Profibus PA digital signals.
Available in multiple form factors, including puck-style (for head mounting inside a connection head), field-mount enclosures (explosion-proof housing with local LCD displays), and DIN-rail mount configurations.

Product Advantages
- Universal Input Flexibility: A single transmitter model can be software-configured for various RTD or thermocouple types, drastically reducing spare parts inventory costs.
- Dual Sensor Capabilities: Supports dual-element inputs for sensor backup, differential measurement, or average temperature calculation, ensuring process continuity if one element fails.
- Exceptional Stability & Accuracy: Advanced microprocessor-based signal conditioning minimizes thermal drift and delivers long-term accuracy with extended calibration intervals.
- Diagnostics & SIL Safety Compliance: Integrated continuous diagnostic monitoring (sensor break, short circuit, corrosion drift) compliant with SIL 2 functional safety standards.
Important Considerations (Precautions)
- Thermowell Selection: Always use a compatible thermowell in high-velocity or high-pressure fluid lines to protect the sensor element from mechanical shear and vibration stress.
- Cable Shielding & Grounding: Use twisted-pair shielded signal cabling grounded at a single point (typically the system side) to eliminate ground loops and RF interference.
- Cold Junction Compensation (CJC): When using thermocouples, ensure the ambient temperature near the terminal block does not undergo extreme local fluctuations unless remote CJC is calibrated.
- Seal Seals & Enclosure Tightness: Ensure conduit entries use approved cable glands or explosion-proof seals to maintain NEMA 4X / IP67 ingress ratings in humid or corrosive environments.
Product Applications
- Oil & Gas / Petrochemical: Reactor vessel monitoring, distillation column temperature control, and pipeline custody transfer points.
- Power Generation: Boiler feed water monitoring, turbine exhaust gas detection, and steam header measurements.
- Chemical Processing: Batch reactor control, exothermic process tracking, and aggressive acid tank storage monitoring.
- Pharmaceutical & Food Processing: Sanitary temperature control systems requiring high precision and traceable validation.
