CP60 Foxboro control processor for I/A Series DCS, supports fault tolerant redundant configuration, executes regulatory and sequential control logic, replacement spare for critical process automation.

Product Overview

• Part No: CP60
• Brand: FOXBORO
• Category: I/A Series Fault Tolerant Control Processor Module

CP60 is an advanced control processor for Foxboro I/A Series distributed control system, upgraded after CP40 with stronger computing capacity. It performs regulatory control, logic interlock, timing and sequential control with connected FBM fieldbus modules. It supports optional fault-tolerant redundant architecture for bumpless failover. It communicates via 10Mbps Ethernet fieldbus for real-time data exchange with I/O modules, operator stations and upper systems. Comprehensive hardware self-diagnosis is built in for fault detection and alarm. Standard rack mounting design, widely used for DCS maintenance, retrofit and system upgrade projects.
