FOXBORO FDC280 RH101FQ Field controller

FOXBORO FDC280 RH101FQ

It is a field device controller launched by Foxboro (a brand under Schneider Electric), which is a key field control unit in a distributed control system (DCS).

Basic Information

• Full Model: FDC280 RH101FQ
• Product Category: Field controller / DCS control unit
• Manufacturer: Foxboro (Schneider Electric)
• Applicable Industries: Refining, petrochemical, power generation, and other industrial automation sectors

Core Functions

1. Integrated Control and Communication: Handles control algorithms, I/O data acquisition, field communication, and diagnostics within a single module, acting as the control hub of a DCS.
2. Dual‑Core Processor: Core 1 runs control software and network communication; Core 2 runs device integration software, supporting fault‑tolerant configurations for high reliability.
3. Fault‑Tolerant/Redundant Operation: Optional fault‑tolerant version with two synchronized processor modules that detect failures and automatically switch over, ensuring continuous operation.
4. Rich Field I/O: Supports up to 256 field devices and roughly 8,000 I/O points, with a minimum scan cycle of 100 ms, meeting large‑scale process‑control demands.
5. Multi‑Protocol Communication: Compatible with Ethernet (10/100 Mbps, 1 Gbps) and serial buses (RS‑232/RS‑422/RS‑485), allowing direct connection to field devices without additional Foxboro Fieldbus Modules (FBM).
6. Diagnostics and Self‑Check: Built‑in ECC error detection, real‑time self‑diagnostics, LED indicators, and an LCD display for easy operation and maintenance monitoring.

Main Technical Specifications

Application Advantages

• High Reliability: Dual‑core fault‑tolerant design and real‑time diagnostics make it suitable for critical process control.
• Flexible Integration: Supports Ethernet, fiber, or copper adapters, allowing configuration to match existing field network architectures.
• Compact and Efficient: Small size and low power consumption facilitate installation in space‑constrained control cabinets.
• Industrial‑Grade Certifications: Meets standards such as ISA‑Secure EDSA Level 1, suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Typical Use Cases

• Monitoring and regulation of process variables in refineries.
• Safety interlocks and alarms in petrochemical plants.
• Real‑time data acquisition and control in power systems.
• Any DCS project requiring high‑reliability field control and fault‑tolerant operation.
