Remote Installation
The FCP280 simplifies Foxboro DCS system architecture by requiring only
the enclosure (via field enclosure) while maintaining control,
host workstation with Control Core Services v9.0 or higher,
and an Ethernet switch to communicate through the control network structure.
The field-installed FCP280 is part of a highly distributed control network
In this network, the controllers work closely with specific process units
mounted in close proximity to their I/O and the actual controlled equipment.
The process units are coordinated via a fibre optic 100 Mbps Ethernet network.
The FCP280 and its network adapters are encased in a robust die-cast aluminium
enclosure that requires no ventilation due to its efficient design.

The FCP280 and its network adapter are CE certified and can be installed
without the need for an expensive dedicated cabinet, helping to protect against electronic radiation.
The FCP280. network adapters and backplane can be installed in G3 rated harsh environments.
The EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Field Control Processor 280 (FCP280) is a distributed,
optionally fault-tolerant, field-installable controller module.
The FCP280 performs regulation, logic, timing, and sequence control with
connected Foxboro DCS Fieldbus Modules (FBMs).
It also performs data acquisition, alarm detection, and notification.
The FCP280. through a chassis-mounted network adapter, is connects to the Foxboro DCS
control network with standard fibre optic or 100 Mbps copper cable (see figure below).
The FCP280 requires Foxboro DCS Control Core Services Software v9.0 or higher.
A system with the FCP280 and this software is called an EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Process Automation System.
Supported Devices
The FCP280 supports the following devices on the 2 Mbps fieldbus:
- All compact and standard 200 series FBMs, which support many types of intelligent field devices.
including those on Foundation Fieldbus, PROFIBUS, HART, and DeviceNet networks.
- Foxboro DCS Field Device System Integrator (FDSI) Modules
