FOXBORO FCP270

The FOXBORO FCP270 is a Field Control Processor (FCP), a critical component of the FOXBORO I/A Series distributed control system (DCS). FCPs are responsible for real-time process control, data acquisition, and communication within the I/A Series system.  

The FCP270 specifically offers:

• Regulatory, Logic, and Control Functions: It executes regulatory, logic, timing, and sequential control algorithms, working in conjunction with Fieldbus Modules (FBMs).
• Data Acquisition: It collects data from field devices through FBMs.
• Alarm Management: It detects and notifies operators of alarms.
• Network Connectivity: It connects to the Foxboro Evo control network via Ethernet.

Key Features:

• Supports Multiple FBMs: The FCP270 can interface with numerous FBMs, expanding its I/O capabilities.
• Fault-Tolerant Operation: It supports redundant configurations for increased reliability.  
• Time Synchronization: It can synchronize its time with an external source, such as GPS.
• Rugged Design: It is built to withstand harsh industrial environments.
