Foxboro RH924WA  Fiber Adapter

Description

The EcoStruxure™ Foxboro™ DCS Field Control Processor 280 (FCP280) is a distributed, optionally fault-tolerant, field-mounted controller module. The FCP280 performs regulatory, logic, timing, and sequential control together with connected Foxboro DCS Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). It also performs data acquisition and alarm detection and notification. The FCP280 connects to the Foxboro DCS Control Network via standard fiber optic or copper 100 Mbps Ethernet cables from network adapters installed on its baseplate (see the next figure).

The FCP280 requires Foxboro DCS Control Core Services software v9.0 or later. A system with the FCP280 and this software is called an EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Process Automation System.

FCP280 modules connect to a pair of fiber or copper adapters which each connect to one Ethernet switch in the Control Network. The FCP280 baseplate passes inbound traffic from either of the two switches to both FCP280s, and pass outbound traffic from the primary FCP280 module to either switch.

The fiber or copper adapters mount on the FCP280 baseplate as shown in FaultTolerant FCP280 Module Pair Mounted on Vertical Mounted 2-Position FCP280 Baseplate. They receive their power from the baseplate.
