Product Overview

The Foxboro P0926KN is an I/A Series power supply output cable used to connect compatible Foxboro 200 Series power supplies to modular baseplates. It carries the supply’s DC output to the baseplate, supporting power distribution to the fieldbus modules and associated control hardware installed in the subsystem.

With a cable length of 1.5 meters, the P0926KN provides more routing distance than the shorter 0.9-meter and 1.2-meter variants in the same cable family. This is useful when the power supply and baseplate are positioned farther apart within a control cabinet or when the wiring route requires additional reach.

The P0926KN is an output-side power cable, not a DC input terminal block cable. Its newer corresponding designation is RH926KN. When replacing an existing cable, verify the baseplate family and connector arrangement so the replacement matches the installed power-distribution configuration.

Technical Specifications

Product Features

• 1.5-meter cable length: Supports power connections that require additional routing distance within a control cabinet.
• Dedicated output-power connection: Carries the power supply’s DC output to a compatible modular baseplate.
• 16 AWG shielded construction: Matches the specified cable construction for this baseplate power-cable family.
• Foxboro I/A Series integration: Supports compatible 200 Series control-system power distribution.
• Defined part identification: The P0926KN designation distinguishes this cable from input-terminal-block and signal cables.
• Replacement reference: RH926KN is the corresponding newer designation for this cable configuration.
• Multiple-baseplate support: Can be used in compatible arrangements where a power supply feeds multiple baseplates within the system’s specified limits.
• Cabinet wiring flexibility: Provides additional reach for layouts where the supply and baseplate are not installed close together.

Working Principle

The P0926KN establishes an electrical path between the output connector of a compatible power supply and the power input of a modular baseplate. When correctly connected, it transfers DC output power to the baseplate’s distribution interface.

The cable does not regulate voltage or convert power. Those functions are handled by the power supply, while the baseplate distributes available power to compatible modules according to the subsystem design. Correct cable selection and connector engagement are necessary to maintain the intended electrical connection.

When multiple baseplates are connected to one supply, the total load must remain within the supply’s rated output capacity, and the permitted cable arrangement must be followed. The 1.5-meter length provides routing reach; it does not increase the supply’s available power or establish compatibility with every baseplate generation.

Role in a Foxboro I/A Series Power Distribution Architecture

The P0926KN serves as the output-power connection between a compatible Foxboro power supply and a modular baseplate. The supply delivers DC power, the cable transfers it to the baseplate, and the baseplate provides the electrical interfaces required by the installed control modules.

Industrial Applications

Installation and Maintenance

1. Verify the cable part number: Confirm that P0926KN is the specified output cable for the installed power supply and baseplate configuration.
2. Identify the baseplate type: Check the baseplate model and connector arrangement before fitting the cable.
3. Isolate the power supply: Follow the site’s electrical isolation and lockout procedures before disconnecting or replacing the cable.
4. Inspect the connectors: Check for damaged housings, bent contacts, contamination or other conditions that could prevent proper mating.
5. Confirm connector compatibility: Ensure both cable ends match their designated interfaces without forcing or modifying the connectors.
6. Plan the cable route: Use the 1.5-meter length to reach the connection points without excessive tension or strain on the connectors.
7. Prevent mechanical damage: Avoid sharp bends, crushing, abrasion and contact with hot surfaces or moving components.
8. Maintain cabinet organization: Route the cable so it does not obstruct module access, ventilation paths or other service points.
9. Secure both connections: Confirm that the connectors are fully seated and any applicable retaining features are engaged.
10. Verify power-system capacity: Check that the connected baseplates and installed modules remain within the power supply’s specified output limits.
11. Inspect before energizing: Check the cable jacket, connector seating and routing before restoring power.
12. Record the replacement: Document the installed part number and any connector or wiring issues to support future maintenance and spare-parts identification.

Technical FAQs

Which Foxboro power supply connection uses the P0926KN?

The P0926KN connects a compatible power supply’s output to a modular baseplate. It is intended for downstream power distribution, rather than the incoming power connection to the supply.

How does P0926KN differ from P0926KM?

Both are baseplate power supply output cables, but P0926KN is 1.5 meters long and P0926KM is 1.2 meters long. The appropriate variant depends on the required cable route and the configuration specified for the installed equipment.

Can P0926KN be replaced by RH926KN?

RH926KN supersedes P0926KN for the corresponding 1.5-meter modular-baseplate power cable configuration. Before replacement, verify the baseplate family and connector arrangement.

What should be checked if the baseplate remains unpowered after cable installation?

Verify that the cable is the correct output-power variant and that both connectors are fully seated. Check the power supply’s status, the baseplate connection and the total subsystem load. Isolate the equipment before disconnecting or inspecting electrical connections.
