FOXBORO 3C20 | Industrial Control Processor Module
Product Overview
The FOXBORO 3C20 is a rugged modular industrial controller engineered for distributed control systems in demanding environments. Built with advanced U.S. technology, it integrates data acquisition, signal processing, and communication into one highly reliable module.
The 3C20 operates in both standalone and redundant configurations, ensuring high availability for mission-critical systems. Its expandable architecture allows upgrading from a single processor to a dual-processor fault-tolerant system. This flexibility makes it a reliable choice for chemical plants, power generation, pharmaceutical production, and smart water systems.
Additionally, the module supports a broad range of Foxboro Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) and aligns with Schneider Electric EcoStruxure™, incorporating Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and AI-driven control strategies.
