Product Introduction
When a Foxboro Evo or Foxboro DCS installation needs to bring Ethernet or serial field devices online without stacking traditional Fieldbus Modules, the Foxboro FDC280 RH101FQ serves as the distributed, field-mountable controller that handles both the control strategy and the device integration layer.
It runs regulatory, logic, timing and sequential control on one core while the second core manages the device drivers, making it a practical choice for reducing cabinet footprint and eliminating extra FBM hardware when the application stays within the published sizing limits of 256 devices and 8,000 I/O points.
