Foxboro| ZCP270| Z-Module Control Processor
Description
The Z-Module Control Processor 270 (ZCP270) is a distributed, optionally fault-tolerant controller within the I/A Series® hardware line. It performs process control and alarming functions based on user-defined strategies. The ZCP270 connects to the MESH control network and Fieldbus Communications Modules (FCMs) via standard fiber optic 100 Mbps Ethernet.
Features
- Performs regulatory, logic, timing, and sequential control with connected Fieldbus Modules.
- Supports up to 128 of the 200 Series FBMs when using FCM100Et or a mix of 100/200 Series FBMs with FCM100E.
- Data acquisition, alarm detection, and notification.
- Fault-tolerant operation using two control modules for improved reliability.
- Connects to the MESH network via 100 Mbps Ethernet.
- Versatile control algorithms and wide variety of FBMs for diverse applications.
- Optional time synchronization from GPS satellites.
- Online image update without shutting down the process.
- Configurable soft letterbugs.
- Self-hosting mode support with specific software versions.
