Foxboro ™  DCS Field Device Controller 280(FDC280)

Product Overview and Core Positioning

FDC280 is a distributed and optional fault-tolerant on-site installation controller, with the core function of implementing Foxboro ™  The integration of DCS and field devices does not require additional fieldbus modules (FBM), and it also undertakes process control and alarm tasks. It is mainly positioned as the “field device integration center”, which is different from the same type of FCP280 (which does not support PIO bus and focuses on Ethernet/serial protocol integration).

1. Core functions

Device integration: Directly interface with Ethernet/serial field devices that support multiple protocols, collect device data for display, historical storage, and execute control tasks.

Control capability: Built in adjustment control, logic control, timing control, sequence control functions, supporting alarm detection and notification.

Hardware architecture: Adopting dual core ARM ®  SOC processor with clear dual core division of labor:

Core 1 (Control Core): Run control software and DCS control network communication software, supporting fault-tolerant operations.

Core 2 (I/O core): Run device integration software, independently handle on-site device connections and status diagnostics.

Basic requirements: A host workstation with Foxboro DCS Control Core Services v9.3 or higher must be installed, and connected to the control network via 100Mbps fiber/copper Ethernet. It must have obtained ISASecure EDSA Level 1 security certification.

2. Key difference: FDC280 vs FCP280

Comparison item FDC280 FCP280

Core positioning on-site equipment integration (Ethernet/serial port) universal process control

PIO bus support not supported

Core advantage: No FBM required, directly integrated with field devices compatible with traditional PIO bus devices

Network configuration plan

FDC280 supports both Ethernet and serial network configurations, divided into two modes: “simplex” and “fault tolerant”, to meet the redundancy requirements of different field devices.

1. Ethernet network configuration

Support direct connection to Ethernet field devices or connection to serial devices through a “protocol specific gateway” (to achieve Ethernet serial bridging), with three core solutions:

Configuration Type Applicable Scenarios Key Features

Simplex, a single FDC280 module for scenarios with low reliability requirements, does not require redundant connections and saves wiring costs

Fault tolerant – Independent network with high reliability requirements, on-site equipment requires independent redundant network dual FDC280 modules (left/right), connected to two independent Ethernet networks provided by customers, with module IP addresses that can be the same or unique

Fault tolerant – Shared network field devices without independent redundancy requirements (such as single port devices). Dual FDC280 modules share one Ethernet network, supporting single port device access and reducing network complexity

Note: It is recommended to use a management switch for easy maintenance and troubleshooting; The device can also be directly connected to the FDC280 motherboard without the need for a switch.

2. Serial port network configuration

Each module of FDC280 contains 4 independently configurable serial ports (supporting RS232/RS422/RS485), with a maximum support of 128 serial field devices (up to 32 devices per RS485 port). The core solution is divided into 2 types:

Non fault-tolerant (Simplex): A single FDC280 can be connected to a single port serial device through a “Terminal Component (TA)”, supporting RS485 multi station connection without a modem and RS232/RS422 direct connection.

Fault tolerant type: Dual FDC280 modules are connected to devices through TA and adapted to different port devices:

Dual port device: The left/right module connects the two ports of the device separately to achieve redundant communication.

Single port device: RS232 needs to be connected to two TAs through a Y-shaped cable; RS485/422 can be directly connected through a dual module TA sharing connection.

The protocol supports 6 core protocols, some of which support concurrent multi instance/multi version (see table below for details)

The diagnostic capability has a built-in “diagnostic driver” that can capture real-time communication messages with the device and send them to the workstation diagnostic application without physical interruption

Fault tolerance mechanism dual module “marriage” operation, Control Network communication requires dual module messages to be matched bit by bit before sending; Core 1 supports primary/backup switching, while Core 2 supports redundancy state comparison and role handover

In self hosted mode, the control database checkpoint file is stored in flash memory, and the host can autonomously start and execute control policies when offline

Software updates distinguish between “Major updates (new features, no online upgrade support)” and “Minor updates (only module switching, no process interruption)”

Fault tolerance mechanism and reliability design

The “fault-tolerant” core of FDC280 consists of dual module redundancy, independent diagnosis, and seamless switching, covering the control network, CPU, and I/O levels to ensure uninterrupted processes

1. Three layer fault-tolerant/redundant design

Level fault tolerance/redundancy mechanism switching logic

The dual modules of the control network are connected through the backplane and share control network access (dual switches). Communication messages need to be matched bit by bit by the dual modules before being sent. When a fault is detected, the non faulty module takes over control without process interruption

Core 1 (control core) primary/backup mode, real-time synchronization status. When the primary core fails, the backup core immediately switches to primary dynamic mode

Core 2 (I/O core) independently diagnoses the connection status of dual core devices. When the main core fails and the backup core device is better connected compared to the backup core status, the main core resets and hands over the role

The main module on the I/O side is responsible for reading and writing I/O points, while the backup module monitors device connections through “heartbeat commands” and synchronizes I/O values in real-time. When the main module loses connection, the backup module seamlessly takes over without any process fluctuations

2. Maintain convenience

Hot plug support: Replacing the FDC280 module does not require disconnecting the backplane power supply, and does not affect the field I/O signal of another module.

Status visualization: The front of the module includes an LCD display screen (displaying module identification, role, hardware version, network status) and LED indicator lights (running status, Ethernet connection status), supporting the configuration of “letterbug” through panel buttons.

Accessories and Connection Configuration

(1) Core accessory model

Accessory name, model, and purpose

The RH101CR core power supply unit of the power host provides 24V DC/20A output

AC input terminal block cable -1 cable is required to connect the terminal block to the power host

Connect the power supply to the Compact/Standard 200 series motherboard using RH100DY (3.7m), RH100DZ (0.6m), and RH100EA (1.0m) cables, with 14AWG supporting 20A current

DC distribution component RH101BY is used for multi board connection to achieve power distribution

Bottom board power cable (distribution component to bottom board) RH100EB (2.1m), RH100EC (3.0m) 18AWG, directly connecting the distribution component to the bottom board, supporting up to 2 bottom board direct connections

(2) Connection precautions

If only 1-2 base plates are connected, RH100EB/RH100EC cables can be directly used; If more than 2 baseboards are connected, power must be distributed through the RH101BY distribution component to avoid current overload.

It is recommended to use an independent power supply for external on-site equipment to avoid non system loads affecting the stability of DCS system power supply; All wiring must be fastened with M3 screw terminals to ensure reliable contact.

Key points for use and maintenance

Calibration requirements: The power supply is pre-set with a 24.0V DC output at the factory, which does not require user calibration or voltage adjustment, reducing maintenance workload.

Fault handling: After shutting down due to overvoltage/overcurrent, the input power supply should be disconnected first (within 30 seconds), and load faults (such as short circuits and overloads) should be checked before powering on again to restore power; When the “DC OK” relay is disconnected, it is necessary to check whether the output voltage is less than 80% of the rated value (19.2V DC), and troubleshoot input power supply, load, or internal power supply faults.

Installation spacing: To ensure natural convection heat dissipation, a ventilation gap of at least 76.2mm (3.0in) should be reserved around the power supply to avoid installation in close proximity to heating equipment.

Installation and wiring requirements

(1) Environment and Location

For indoor use only, avoid heat sources, moisture, and physical damage. The ambient temperature is -5-55 ℃ (ATEX certification system is 0-55 ℃), the humidity is 0-90% RH (no condensation), and the altitude is ≤ 2000m.

The installation of sensors should follow the characteristics of gas density (installation height for gas sensors lighter than air, installation height for sensors heavier than air), avoid areas where airflow is obstructed, quiet corners, and near heat sources, and be easy to maintain.

(2) Wiring and Connection

Sensor wiring: It is necessary to use cables with grounding and external shielding to avoid parallel interference sources such as AC power lines and motors. The maximum length of the cable depends on the type of sensor and the cross-sectional area of the wire (for example, when using 2.5mm ² wire for catalytic sensors, the maximum length is 2500m, and when using 2.5mm ² wire for 4-20mA sensors, the maximum length is 16000m). The shielding layer is only grounded at the cabinet end.

Power and relay wiring: The rated current of the power cable should be greater than the maximum load. If the relay cable is connected to an AC power source, a 5A fuse is required. The DC input card and relay interface card terminals support 2.5mm ² wires. When wiring, the power should be disconnected to avoid short circuits.

(3) Power configuration

The total power consumption of the system needs to be calculated through the “power budget table”, depending on the sensor type, number of channels, and module configuration; When there are more than 8 catalytic control cards, it is recommended to supply power separately through the four relay interface card to avoid the backplane current exceeding the 8A limit.

Supports dual input of main power supply and backup battery, with diode isolation achieved through a DC input card. The backup battery needs to be compatible with 18-32V DC specifications.

Operation and maintenance process

(1) Basic operation (without engineering key)

Control card reset and selection: Short press the RESET/SET button to reset inactive alarms and clear peak display; Long press and hold for 1.5 seconds to select the control card, then use the up and down keys on the engineering card to select the channel; Press and hold for 5 seconds to perform an extended reset (clear maximum/minimum readings, reset STEL/LTEL timer).

Basic functions of the engineering card: It can view the catalytic sensor bridge current (BEAD mA key), alarm threshold (ALARMS key), sensor signal (SIGNAL key), and system clock (CLOCK key). Calibration, suppression, and other operations cannot be performed without a key, and the selection will be automatically canceled after 30 seconds of timeout.

(2) Engineering operation (requires inserting the engineering key to unlock)

Channel suppression (INHIBIT key): After selecting a channel, press the INHIBIT key to switch the suppression state. During suppression, the channel LED will remain amber and the relay will be locked in an inactive state to avoid false alarms during calibration or troubleshooting.

Calibration process

Zero calibration (ZERO key): Ensure that the sensor is in a gas free environment, press the ZERO key, wait for the signal to stabilize (message displays “STANBLE”), and then press the confirm key. The system will automatically set the current signal to zero. If the signal exceeds the range, an error will be displayed.

Range calibration (SPAN key): Suitable for calibrated sensors, press the SPAN key to set the target range concentration, introduce the corresponding concentration standard gas, confirm after the signal is stable, and the system updates the range parameters; The new sensor requires the “1st SPAN” key to perform the first range calibration and record the initial sensitivity for lifespan monitoring.

Alarm and Relay Testing: Press the ALARMS key to set the A1/A2/A3/SETL/LTEL threshold. After switching to “TEST” mode, simulate gas concentration changes by pressing the up and down keys to verify whether the alarm LED and relay actions are normal. During testing, be sure to release the suppression to trigger the external relay.

(3) Maintenance and troubleshooting

Regular maintenance: It is recommended to check the terminal fastening, LED status, sensor signal and alarm function every year. The catalytic sensor needs to be calibrated regularly (according to the sensor manual). When the sensitivity of the catalytic sensor drops below 50% of the initial value, the system displays “Lifetime Expired” and the sensor needs to be replaced.

Fault diagnosis: Identify the problem through the error codes displayed on the control card message (such as ER97 for EEPROM fault, ER87 for over range fault, ER83 for bridge current fault), and check the power supply, wiring, and sensor status using the “troubleshooting table”. Hardware faults require replacement of the corresponding module.

Data recording: It can be connected to an RS232 printer through an engineering card, and long press the up and down keys to print single channel status or overall rack summary data, including sensor type, calibration date, alarm threshold, relay configuration, and other information.

Compliance and safety requirements

(1) Certification and Standards

Compliant with EN50054/57/58 (General Requirements and Performance for Combustible Gas Detection), EN50271 (Software and Digital Technology), EMC Directive 89/336/EEC (EN50270:1999), Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EEC (EN 61010-1), ATEX certification based on EC Type Examination Certificate BVS 04 ATEX G 001 X, suitable for Zone 2 hazardous areas (requiring tested enclosures).

(2) Safety operation standards

Installation and maintenance should be carried out by professionals, and wiring should be operated after power failure to avoid equipment damage caused by incorrect sensor wiring; When used in hazardous areas, it is necessary to comply with the installation standard EN 60079-14 to ensure the enclosure protection level and explosion-proof requirements; The data read by Modbus is only used for visualization or recording and cannot be used for safety related control to avoid Modbus write operations.

Ordering and Accessories

Core module ordering models: Control card, relay interface card, engineering card, DC input card, etc. The core module models are clear, and the power unit, cabinet, and rack need to be selected according to the number of channels and installation requirements (such as 8-channel cabinet 05701-A-0452, 16 channel power supply 05701-A-0405).

Optional attachments: including blank panel (05701-A-0365), engineering key kit (05701-A-0550), interconnect cable (05704-C-0160), liquid tight connector kit, etc. Expansion modules such as Modbus interface and event printing module need to be ordered separately.

(2) Performance characteristics

Power Start ™: Can provide over 200% starting torque to ensure smooth start-up under high friction loads.

Slip compensation: With static automatic tuning and boost function, it achieves excellent load regulation over a wide speed range.

Speed range: The speed ratio can reach 60:1.

(3) Protection features

Motor Overload Protection (I2t): With RMS current limitation, it can prevent motor burnout, avoid false tripping, and is certified by UL as an electronic overload protector for motors.

Electronic Surge Current Limitation (EICL) ™): Eliminate harmful AC input surge currents during startup.

Other protections: equipped with short-circuit protection (shutdown in case of motor phase to phase short circuit), regenerative protection (to avoid tripping caused by high bus voltage due to rapid deceleration of high inertia load), overvoltage and undervoltage protection (shutdown in case of input voltage exceeding the range), MOV input transient suppression (to protect driver components from damage caused by input voltage spikes), and microcontroller self-monitoring and automatic restart functions.

Installation points

(1) Installation method

It is recommended to install it vertically on a flat surface to ensure sufficient ventilation, and reserve enough space below for wiring. If installed inside the casing, it is necessary to ensure that the casing size is sufficient for heat dissipation, the ambient temperature does not exceed 40 ° C (104 ° F), and it cannot be used in explosion-proof environments. The installation must be firm.

(2) Communication input circuit breaker

The driver does not have a built-in circuit fuse, and a fuse (such as Littelfuse 312/314, Bus ABC, or equivalent) or circuit breaker must be connected in series with each non grounded wire according to electrical specifications. The neutral wire or grounding wire should not be blown. Please refer to Table 2 (page 7) for specific fuse specifications.

(3) Electrical connection

Wiring specifications: It must comply with the National Electrical Code and applicable local regulations. Wiring should be carried out after power failure to ensure correct grounding. When remotely connecting potentiometers, switches, etc., it is recommended to install signal isolators to avoid high voltage risks.

Communication input connection: The wiring terminals of different models of drivers are different, and they need to be connected according to the model. The rated AC input voltage of the driver needs to match the actual input voltage, and some models need to set corresponding jumper wires.

Motor connection: The motor is connected to the U, V, and W terminals of TB1. The length of the motor cable should not exceed 100 feet (30 meters). If it exceeds this, a special reactor is required (technical support should be contacted), and the J2 jumper should be set to the corresponding motor horsepower level.

Grounding connection: The grounding wire (earth) should be connected to the green grounding screw, and the motor should also be properly grounded.

Other connections: including remote main speed potentiometer, remote start stop switch, automatic restart (requiring cancellation of start stop switch and hard wiring), voltage following (0-5V DC analog signal that needs to be isolated), enable circuit, operation/fault relay, etc., all have specific wiring methods and precautions.

(4) Bus capacitor repair

If the drive is stored for more than one year, it is necessary to apply AC input voltage in shutdown mode for at least 1 hour to repair the power bus capacitor, otherwise the capacitor may be damaged.

Operation and Debugging

(1) Start the program

After completing the jumper and fine adjustment potentiometer settings and wiring, connect the AC power supply, and the power (PWR) LED green light will turn on. Use the start stop switch to briefly place it in the “start” position to start the driver, and the motor will accelerate to the set speed. If the motor turns in the wrong direction, replace any two motor leads after powering off.

(2) Restart after malfunction

Drive monitoring includes five types of faults: undervoltage, overvoltage, motor short circuit, overload, and phase loss. After the faults are cleared, restart through the start stop switch; If the start stop switch is cancelled, the AC power supply needs to be disconnected and reconnected to restart. Partial faults (such as overvoltage) can be automatically restarted after the voltage returns to normal in automatic power-off recovery mode.

(3) Fine tuning potentiometer adjustment

Minimum speed (MIN): Factory set to 0% of the frequency setting, clockwise rotation can increase the minimum speed.

Maximum speed (MAX): Factory set to 100% of the frequency setting, counterclockwise/clockwise rotation can reduce/increase the maximum speed.

Acceleration (ACCEL): The factory setting is 1.5 seconds. Clockwise/counterclockwise rotation extends/shortens the acceleration time, and rapid acceleration may trigger the current limiting circuit to extend the acceleration time.

Decel: The factory setting is 1.5 seconds, and clockwise/counterclockwise rotation extends/shortens the deceleration time. In high inertia load applications, the deceleration time may be automatically extended. It is recommended to set the acceleration and deceleration time to 10 seconds or more for high inertia loads.

DECEL (Direct Current Injection Braking): Only when J7 is set to “INJ”, this potentiometer is used to set the time for direct current to be applied to the motor. It is factory set to regenerative braking (J7 is set to “RG”).

Slip Compensation (COMP): Factory set to 1.5 volts per hertz, clockwise/counterclockwise rotation increases/decreases slip compensation, and can be adjusted through specific steps to achieve speed stability under different loads.

Motor overload (I2t) and RMS current limit (CL): The factory setting is 160% of the rated current of the driver. Clockwise/counterclockwise rotation increases/decreases the current limit, which needs to be adjusted step by step and cannot exceed the rated current of the motor by 160% to avoid motor overheating.

Boost (BOOST): The factory setting is a fixed boost (J6 is set to “FIX”), which can be adjusted when J6 is set to “ADJ”. It operates in the frequency range of 0-15Hz and needs to be adjusted step by step to avoid overheating and damage to the motor winding caused by excessive boost.

Jog: An optional run stop jog switch kit is required, which can set the jog speed. When the switch is in the “jog” position, the speed is set by the fine adjustment potentiometer, and when in the “run” position, the speed is set by the main speed potentiometer.

Diagnosis and fault handling

(1) Diagnostic LED

Power LED (PWR): When the AC power is turned on, the green light will turn on. It should not be used as a basis for power outage. Before maintenance, make sure that the main power switch or circuit breaker is disconnected.

Status LED (ST): It is a three color LED with different flashing frequencies and colors corresponding to different operating states and faults, such as normal operation (green light flashing slowly), overload (red light constantly on when 120% -160% full load; red light flashing rapidly when timeout trips), short circuit (red light flashing slowly), undervoltage (red and yellow light flashing rapidly), overvoltage (red and yellow light flashing slowly), stop (yellow light constantly on), standby (yellow light flashing slowly, only when installing forward and reverse switches), input phase loss (yellow light flashing rapidly, specific models), overheating trip (red and yellow light flashing rapidly, specific models), and the status will change accordingly after troubleshooting.

(2) Common fault handling

Overload fault: After clearing the fault, restart and check the motor current with an AC RMS ammeter. If the current limit is set too low, adjust it.

Overvoltage fault: In automatic power-off recovery mode, the driver automatically restarts after the voltage returns to normal.

Motor steering error: replace any two motor leads after powering off.

Other faults: troubleshoot according to the status LED indication, such as checking the motor wiring for short circuits, checking the input voltage for undervoltage/overvoltage, checking the input circuit for phase loss (specific model), and checking the heat dissipation for overheating (specific model).

Optional accessories

We offer a variety of optional accessories, including forward and reverse switch kits, AC line on/off switch kits, run stop jog switch kits, SIAC-PS signal isolator kits (available in 3G and 2G models), automatic/manual switch kits, SIAC-PS signal isolator and automatic/manual switch combination kits, AC line filter kits (available with “S” and “NS” suffixes, some models pre installed at the factory), liquid tight joint kits, etc. Different accessories are suitable for different models of drivers, and some accessories require specific installation methods to ensure liquid tightness or achieve corresponding functions.
