P0928BR Foxboro Processor / PLC Module for Distributed Control

Product Description

Overview

The Foxboro P0928BR is an advanced processor and control module engineered for the Foxboro I/A Series and Evo™ Distributed Control System (DCS). Serving as the system’s central controller, it manages data acquisition, executes control algorithms, processes signals, and communicates seamlessly with Fieldbus Modules (FBMs) such as FBM217, FBM218, and FBM219.

Built for demanding industrial environments, the P0928BR can operate as a standalone processor or in a dual-module fault-tolerant setup, ensuring uninterrupted operation in critical applications. It is widely deployed across power generation, oil & gas, petrochemical, chemical, and rail sectors where high reliability and uptime are mandatory.

Key Functional Features

• Fault-Tolerant Operation: Supports dual-processor redundancy for continuous operation.

• Integrated Memory: 16 MB SDRAM and 32 MB Flash enable rapid data processing and secure storage.

• Distributed Architecture: Allows flexible deployment across plant floor or remote field locations.

• Built-in Diagnostics: Provides self-test routines and immediate fault detection for reliable operation.

• Versatile Control: Supports multiple FBMs and a wide range of control algorithms for complex processes.

• Industrial-Grade Reliability: Designed for harsh environments with compact size and low power consumption.

Technical Specifications

Considerations

• Application-specific: Functions as a central controller; requires FBMs for field signal acquisition.

• Lifecycle: Part of the Foxboro Evo™ DCS system; newer modules may feature increased memory and faster processing.

• Maintenance: Proper configuration of redundancy, grounding, and cabling is required to maintain fault-tolerant performance.
