Foxboro CP Series

The Foxboro CP Series comprises a family of control processors essential within the Foxboro I/A Series Distributed Control System (DCS), designed to manage critical tasks in industrial automation.

Functionality

• Sensor Data Reception: Receives data from field devices, such as sensors and meters.

• Control Calculations: Performs calculations based on programmed logic to control industrial processes.

• Actuator Control: Sends commands to actuators to adjust and manage equipment operations.

• System Communication: Facilitates communication among various components within the DCS.

Models

The CP Series typically includes several models tailored to different processing requirements:

• CP10: Entry-level model suitable for smaller control applications.

• CP20: Provides enhanced processing power and memory capacity compared to CP10, suitable for medium-sized applications.

• Additional Models: Depending on specific configurations of the I/A Series, other models with varying capabilities may also be available.

Benefits

• Real-time Control: Enables real-time monitoring and adjustment of industrial processes.

• Scalability: Designed to scale with system expansion needs, accommodating growing operational demands.

• Reliable Operation: Ensures reliable data processing, communication, and integration with a wide array of sensors and actuators.

Current Status

The Foxboro I/A Series has been a longstanding product line, and following Schneider Electric's acquisition of Foxboro, newer control system solutions may have been introduced.
