The 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 Fieldbus Modules. It also performs data acquisition and alarm detection and
notification.

OVERVIEW
The Foxboro Evo Integrated Control Software
provides a selection of continuous, sequential, and
ladder logic control domains. Each domain can be
used independently or integrated to meet specific
application requirements.
The control software provides the user with a
comprehensive control strategy and input/output
implementation for on/off control, timing, regulatory
and feedback applications. Implemented within a
block and parameter structure, the control software
provides the base for the integration of continuous,
ladder logic and sequential control with
programmable logic controller functionality.
The software control strategies allow you to mix and
match continuous and Programmable Logic Block
(PLB) capabilities with sequencing in the same
control scheme.
The process control domains – continuous,
sequential and batch, and ladder logic – execute in
any Foxboro control processor. The control software
running in a control processor provides the interface
to the Fieldbus subsystem and other I/O subsystems
through I/O blocks. These I/O blocks interface to the
specific applications executing in the Fieldbus
Modules (FBMs).
Access to the FBMs and associated devices (for
example, field sensors, actuators, Intelligent Field
Devices) is through the control software in the Field
Control Processor 280 (FCP280).
An optional fault-tolerant control processor
configuration, where two identical control processors
(Primary and Shadow) are running in parallel,
provides enhanced reliability to the control process.

Control Processor 280 (FCP280)

EXACT Multivariable Control (EXACT MV)
The Foxboro Evo EXACT Multivariable Controller
(EXACT MV) with Adaptive Multivariable Control
provides feedforward tuning of up to four variables,
plus tuning of the feedback controller. On the low
end, it provides superior control of a single difficult to
control loop with multiple load upsets. On the high
end, multiple blocks can interconnect interactive
signals among the loops to improve control for up to
five interacting control loops in a five by five cross
coupled scheme.
At the core of the EXACT MV is an advanced control
block, PIDA, for advanced Proportional-IntegralDerivative control. However, the formula for adaptive
multivariable capability resides in the feedback tuning
extender block, FBTUNE, and the feedforward tuning
block, FFTUNE.
CONTROL SOFTWARE CONCEPTS
shows the integration of continuous control,
ladder logic, and sequential control in a single control
processor. A block is a member of a set of algorithms
that perform a certain control task. The Foxboro Evo
control blocks also support user-defined arithmetic
and Boolean logic functions, alarm detection and
reporting, and shared variables, which are global
variables that allow data to be shared across
applications within the Foxboro Evo Process
Automation System.
