Description
Foxboro FCP2702013
Technical Specifications
- Processor: 32-bit RISC @ 100 MHz.
- Revision Code: 2013.
- Data Integrity: ECC protected SDRAM.
- Connectivity: Dual redundant 100 Mbps Fiber Ethernet ports.
Functional Features
- Enhanced Reliability: Potential improvements in thermal management or component derating for extended MTBF.
- Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with Series 100 and Series 200 FBMs via FBI100/FBI200 isolators.
- Self-Hosting Mode: Capable of operating independently if the host workstation is lost.
Application Scenarios
Used in modernization projects, new installations, or as a direct replacement for older FCP270 units where updated silicon or firmware features are beneficial.
Performance Parameters
- Scan Rates: Configurable from 50 ms to 60 minutes.
- IPC Connections: Up to 131 connections.
- Altitude: Rated for -300m to +3,000m.
Material Composition
Robust industrial plastics and metals. The enclosure is designed to meet IP20 protection when mounted in a standard cabinet.
Structural Characteristics
Standard Eurocard-style form factor. Includes mounting lugs and DIN rail compatibility. Front panel features a soft-configurable letterbug interface for local identification.
Working Principle
Executes control logic using a cyclic scan method. Communicates with FBMs via a high-speed HDLC fieldbus, translating physical I/O signals into digital process variables for the control network.
Installation Requirements
Ensure proper fiber optic cable bend radius is maintained. Ground the enclosure chassis to the panel ground stud to ensure EMC compliance.
Usage Precautions
Verify the firmware version matches the engineering station’s software version. Handle the module by the edges to avoid ESD damage to sensitive RISC processor components.
