Product Overview

The Foxboro P0926KP is an I/A Series power supply output cable used to connect compatible Foxboro FPS400-24 power supplies to modular baseplates in 200 Series control systems. It carries the supply’s DC output to the baseplate, supporting the power distribution required by installed fieldbus modules and associated control hardware.

With a cable length of 1.8 meters, the P0926KP provides additional routing reach for cabinet layouts where the power supply and baseplate are positioned farther apart. It belongs to a family of output cables available in several lengths, allowing the cable to be selected according to the required connection distance and system configuration.

The P0926KP is intended for the power supply-to-baseplate connection rather than the input-side connection between an incoming power terminal block and the power supply. Its corresponding newer designation is RH926KP. When replacing an existing cable, verify the power supply, baseplate type and connector arrangement before installation.

Technical Specifications

Product Features

• 1.8-meter cable length: Provides routing reach for power supply and baseplate arrangements that require a longer connection.
• Dedicated output-power connection: Carries DC output power from a compatible supply to its designated modular baseplate.
• Shielded cable construction: Helps limit electromagnetic interference in the intended industrial control installation.
• 16 AWG conductors: Matches the specified conductor size for this cable family.
• 24 V DC distribution application: Supports the power connection between compatible supply and baseplate interfaces.
• I/A Series integration: Fits into compatible Foxboro 200 Series power-distribution arrangements.
• Defined replacement reference: RH926KP is the corresponding newer cable designation for the P0926KP configuration.
• Cabinet wiring flexibility: Supports installation layouts where the supply and baseplate are not positioned close together.

Working Principle

The P0926KP establishes an electrical path between the output connector of a compatible power supply and the power input of a modular baseplate. When both ends are correctly connected, the cable carries the supply’s DC output to the baseplate’s power-distribution interface.

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

Where a supply serves multiple baseplates, the overall configuration must remain within the supply’s rated capacity and the system’s specified connection limits. The cable’s 1.8-meter length provides routing reach but does not increase the available output power or establish compatibility with every baseplate generation.

Role in a Foxboro I/A Series Power Distribution Architecture

The P0926KP forms part of the output-power path 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 fieldbus modules.

Industrial Applications

Installation and Maintenance

1. Verify the cable part number: Confirm that P0926KP 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 1.8-meter length to reach the connection points without excessive tension or unnecessary cable slack.
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 is associated with the P0926KP?

The P0926KP is used in compatible Foxboro 200 Series power-distribution arrangements, including connections from an FPS400-24 supply to a modular baseplate. The specific supply and baseplate configuration should be verified before installation.

How does P0926KP differ from P0926KN?

P0926KP is 1.8 meters long, while P0926KN is 1.5 meters long. Both serve as output-power cables for compatible modular baseplates, so the required routing distance and specified cable configuration determine the appropriate choice.

Can P0926KP be replaced with RH926KP?

RH926KP is the newer designation that supersedes P0926KP for the corresponding 1.8-meter cable configuration. Confirm the baseplate family and connector arrangement before replacing an existing cable.

What should be checked if the baseplate loses power after installing P0926KP?

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