Marty,
I am guessing you are looking at the custom from Weidmuller (from memory, it
was orange in color?) that was designed and custom built back in the 90s
specifically to provide fused 120 VAC inputs and outputs (i.e., FBM10/15,
etc.). It was DIN rail mounted and fit nicely (or maybe crammed) inside the
FBM enclosures. Its distribution and use may even be limited to the Central
Region; not sure the design originated from the Home Office or was limited
to the Cleveland Field Engineering. It simply provided termination for a
120 VAC connection and internally distributed it in series via small plug-in
fuses to 8 or 16 (cannot remember?) pairs of terminals. The field contacts
were wired to one set of the terminals on the Weidmuller FTA and one set of
the FBM inputs/outputs (H?). The other set of terminals on the Weidmuller
FTA was wired to the other set of the FBM inputs/outputs (N?).
It was a nice little package internal to the FBM enclosures that solved the
120 VAC fusing requirements.
Not sure what else I can offer to help but feel free to contact me off list
(Joe@xxxxxxxxxxxxx).

Subject: [foxboro] Weidmuller FTA documentation
Hi List,
I'm looking for documentation on a Weidmuller field termination assembly
for a 100 series FBM10 / 15. It's probably 10+ years old and looking at
the original quote from Foxboro it's simply listed as "fused termination
assembly". No Foxboro part number. What appears to be the Weidmuller
part number is 998402. I've not had any luck with the Weidmuller web
site and when I was at User Conference last September, the people with
Weidmuller were no help. I ran across an email on the list dated 10/16/07
from James Ellis with a similar question for this device. Slightly
different p/n but hopefully close enough to answer the wiring questions we
have at our Clear Lake site. James, if you are still out there maybe you
can help. If anyone has documentation for this device or knows where I can
find it please let me know.
Thanks,
