FOXBORO  FCP270  Field Control Processor

The Foxboro FCP270 is a Field Control Processor part of the I/A Series. It is a distributed, optionally fault-tolerant, field-mounted controller that performs process control and alarming functions according to a user-defined control strategy.

Key functions of the FCP270 include regulatory, logic, timing, and sequential control together with connected Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). It also performs data acquisition and alarm detection and notification.

The FCP270 supports up to 32 200 Series FBMs, which can be either Compact or standard types. With a Fieldbus Expansion Module 100 (FEM100), it can support up to 128 200 Series FBMs. It connects to The MESH control network via standard fiber optic 100 Mbps Ethernet.

The processor can support both the 2 Mbps or 268 Kbps HDLC fieldbuses simultaneously with the FBI200 or FBI100, allowing connections to both 200 Series and 100 Series FBMs. However, this affects the total number of each type of FBM supported.

The FOXBORO FCP270 offers a unique, patented, fault-tolerant operation using two control modules to greatly improve reliability relative to other process controllers. It uses versatile control algorithms and a wide variety of FBMs to provide control capabilities for a broad range of process applications.
