English Product Description (For Datasheet, Catalog & Export)
Product Name: Foxboro FCP270 P0917YZ Field Control Processor
Description:The Foxboro FCP270 P0917YZ is a high-performance, fault-tolerant field control processor engineered for Schneider Electric’s Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system (DCS). As the core computing and control engine of the field control station, it executes real-time regulatory control, sequential logic, data acquisition, and intersystem communication with millisecond-level responsiveness. Featuring a 266 MHz PowerPC 603e processor, 256 MB SDRAM, and 128 MB non-volatile Flash memory, it supports up to 10,000 I/O points and configurable control cycles as fast as 10 ms. Equipped with dual 10/100 Mbps Fault-Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) ports for redundant ring network operation and an RS-232 serial port for local debugging/Modbus RTU communication, it ensures seamless connectivity and high availability.
Designed for 1:1 hot standby redundancy with bumpless switchover (<100 ms), it complies with IEC 61508 SIL 2 standards, making it ideal for mission-critical process industries. Programmed via Control Configuration Studio (CCS), it supports IEC 61131-3 languages (FBD, SFC, LD) for flexible control strategy implementation.
Key Features:
- 266 MHz PowerPC 603e processor with 256 MB SDRAM / 128 MB Flash
- 10 ms minimum control cycle, up to 10,000 I/O points
- Dual FTE (10/100 Mbps) + RS-232 serial (Modbus RTU/ASCII)
- 1:1 hot standby redundancy, bumpless switchover (<100 ms)
- IEC 61508 SIL 2 certified, 24 VDC redundant power
