Product introduction
With the release of Foxboro Evo Control Core Service v9.0, Foxboro also introduced a new processor, the FCP280.
The control processor is an optional fault-tolerant station that, together with its connected fieldbus component (FBM), can control the process according to a well-configured control scheme. It can realize the functions of conventional continuous control, ladder logic control, sequence control and batch processing, and can also realize the functions of data acquisition, detection, alarm and information transmission.
Control the variables of the process using proven algorithms (numerical calculations that perform specific functions), including the EXACT (Expert Adaptive Control Tuning Algorithm) and the EXACT MV (EXACT Multivariable Control) algorithm. These algorithms are contained in functional control blocks that can be configured by field process engineers to complete the required control scheme.

These algorithms are contained in functional control blocks that can be configured by field process engineers to complete the required control scheme.
The fastest functional block processing cycle of the controller is 0.05 seconds, and the control cycle of other configurations is 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, 2,5, 10,30,60 seconds, etc. These control cycles can be combined arbitrarily. There are more than 100 templates for general regulation control, including five categories: input/output, control, signal processing, calculation and conversion, and alarm and limiting. There are 16 types of modules to implement ladder logic and sequence control. The parameters of any module in any CP can be connected to any module in any other CP to form the control scheme required by the user.
The controller checks itself when the power is on, while performing operational checks and monitoring clock functions during operation. In a fault-tolerant control processor, when a comparison error is detected, the two components run internal self-diagnostic tests to identify the faulty component and perform a perturbed switch within one control cycle.
The FCP280's CPU uses an ARM-based chipset with program storage (running at 500MHz).
