CP10 FCP270 P270 The Field Control Processor 270 (FCP270) is a distributed, optionally fault-tolerant, field-mounted controller module. The FCP270 performs regulatory, logic, timing, and sequential control together with connected Fieldbus Modules (FBMs). It also performs data acquisition and alarm detection and notification. The FCP270 connects to the MESH control network via standard fiber optic 100 Mbps Ethernet. The fault-tolerant version of the FCP270 consists of two processor modules. These modules install in adjacent FCP270 slots in a baseplate for high speed communication between the modules. The unique and patented fault-tolerant operation of the FCP270 greatly imrpoves reliability relative to other process controllers. The fault-tolerant version of the FCP270 consists of two modules operating in parallel, with two Ethernet connections to the MESH control network. The two FCP270 modules, married together as a fault-tolerant pair, provide continuous operation of the controller in the event of virtually any hardware failure occurring within one module of the pair.
