P0917QY-0C | FCP270 | Foxboro Redundant Control Processor

Product Description

Overview

The Foxboro FCP270 P0917QY-0C is an advanced field control processor designed for use with the I/A Series and Evo™ distributed control systems (DCS). Serving as the central processing unit, it coordinates real-time control operations, manages communications with Fieldbus Modules (FBMs), and interfaces seamlessly with operator stations and control networks.

Engineered for high-reliability applications, this processor supports 1+1 hot-standby redundancy, automatically switching to a backup unit in less than 100 milliseconds to ensure uninterrupted operation. Its SIL2 safety certification makes it suitable for critical processes that demand safety interlocks and emergency shutdown capabilities.

This processor is widely utilized in petrochemical, chemical, oil & gas, power generation, and water treatment industries, where continuous operation and safety compliance are essential.
