Foxboro P0926AH Splitter/Combiner for Control Network

Foxboro P0926AH Splitter/Combiner for Control Network

Description

The EcoStruxure™ Electrodynamic Controller (EDC6000) is a control station that is part of the EcoStruxure Power and Process Control System 2.0, which bridges the EcoStruxure Foxboro™ Distributed Control System (DCS) and external high-speed electrical networks that support the EcoStruxure Power Automation System (EPAS).

The EcoStruxure Power and Process Control System combines the process control domain and the electrical control domain, allowing operators to see conditions that might compromise the electrical distribution network before a process is started and identify how power management applications, such as Intelligent Fast Load Shedding (iFLS), might impact a process. The Electrodynamic Controller is at the center of this system, facilitating the integration of power systems, process systems, and Intelligent Electronic Devices (IEDs).

Features

• Supports up to 214 low voltage (LV) Modbus devices or up to 59 medium voltage (MV) IEC 61850 devices (including 8 Intelligent Fast Load Shedding (iFLS) and Generator Management System (GMS) controllers) and 22 LV Modbus devices, and up to 8,000 I/O blocks.
• Supports select Foxboro DCS control blocks. This includes CALCA block application support for custom logic sequences and state machines within the DCS domain. For more information, see EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Integrated Control Block Descriptions for Electrodynamic Controller Reference Guide (B0700JA).
• Supports high availability configurations that can help maintain the ability to monitor and control LV and MV devices, monitor hardwired I/O data, and help prevent data and control loss when an event occurs in the system.
• Supports the integration of EcoStruxure Power Automation System intelligent Fast Load Shedding (iFLS), which helps stabilize the MV network by shedding load if there is a sudden loss of spinning reserve capacity. As part of this system, the Electrodynamic Controller sends required data to the iFLS controller and subscribes load inhibit signals to process control strategies.
• Supports array-based reference types for group control processing and interaction within state machines.
