FOXBORO FCP270 Product Details

FOXBORO FCP270 is a distributed,optionally fault-tolerant field-mounted controller module that is widely used in industrial automation and process control systems.The following is a detailed introduction to FOXBORO FCP270.

Main Features

Distributed control:As a field control processor,FCP270 is an integral part of a highly distributed control network.In this network,the controller works closely with specific process units installed close to its I/O and actual controlled equipment to achieve distributed control.

Fault-tolerant design:FCP270’s unique patented fault-tolerant operation greatly improves reliability.The fault-tolerant version of FCP270 consists of two modules running in parallel,connected to the Foxboro Evo control network via two Ethernet networks.The controller can still operate continuously when a hardware failure occurs in one of the modules.

Multiple communication interfaces:FCP270 has a variety of communication interfaces,such as CAN,Profibus,Profinet,etc.,which can connect and communicate with different types of field devices to meet the needs of various application scenarios.

High performance:FCP270 can receive various signal inputs and perform corresponding control operations according to the set logic and algorithms.At the same time,it also supports functions such as data acquisition,alarm detection and notification.

Functions and Support

Performing control tasks:FCP270 performs regulation,logic,timing and sequence control together with the connected fieldbus module(FBM).

Number of FBMs supported

Supports up to 32 200 series FBMs(including compact and standard types).

Supports up to 128 200 series FBMs(compact or standard types)through the fieldbus expansion module 100(FEM100).

Supports up to 64 100 series FBMs.

Network connection:Connects to the Foxboro Evo control network via standard fiber optic 100 Mbps Ethernet.

Work in harsh environments:Adopts a rugged die-cast aluminum housing and can operate in G3-level harsh environments.

Certification and installation:CE-certified,can be installed in the cabinet on site,and can be installed without expensive dedicated cabinets to prevent electronic radiation.
