The Foxboro™ DCS Field Device Controller 280 (FDC280) is a distributed, optionallyfault-tolerant, field-mounted controller that performs process control and alarmingfunctions according to a user-defined control strategy, as well as providing direct fielddevice integration without the need for additional Foxboro DCS Fieldbus Modules(FBMs).The primary purpose of the Field Device Controller 280 (FDC280) is deviceintegration, including interfacing Ethernet and Serial field devices, accessing data inthose devices for display, historization, and performing control tasks. The FDC280performs regulatory, logic, timing, and sequential control internally. It also performsalarm detection and notification.The FDC280 runs a dual-core CPU to provide two computational environments for theFDC280. Core 1 (Control Core) runs the FDC280’s control software and Foxboro DCSControl Network communications software. Core 2 (I/O Core) runs additional features,in this case, the device integration software.The FDC280 communicates directly with field devices that support the protocols listedin these PSSs:• EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS PROFINET IO-Controller Driver for Field DeviceController 280 (PSS 41S-3PROFIDR)• EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Modbus Client TCP Driver for Field DeviceController 280 (PSS 41S-3FDCMBDV)• EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Modbus Client RTU Serial Driver for Field DeviceController 280 (PSS 41S-3FDCMBRT)• EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Triconex™ System Access Application Driver forField Device Controller 280 (PSS 41S-3FDCTSAA)• EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS OPC UA Client Driver for Field Device Controller280 (PSS 41S-3FDCOPC)• EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS EtherNet/IP Scanner Driver for Field DeviceController 280 (PSS 41S-3FDCIPDR)The FDC280 connects to the Control Network via standard fiber optic or copper 100Mbps Ethernet cables from network adapters installed on its baseplate.The FDC280 requires a host workstation with Foxboro DCS Control Core Servicessoftware v9.3 or later.The FDC280 is certified ISASecure EDSA Level 1.
