SCP Foxboro Control Simulation
Foxboro Control Simulation software turns the actual EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Control
Processor (CP) source code into a Simulated Control Processor (SCP). Foxboro Control
Simulation uses the same communication protocol and connects to the same hardware
and software as Foxboro CP270/CP280/FDC280. The Simulated Control Processor
provides a comprehensive environment for modeling, validation, and system checkout.
Foxboro Control Simulation also includes a light version of DYNSIM Dynamic Simulation®
process modeling software and the capability to bulk configure tie-back models to aid
in training.

With a full DYNSIM Dynamic Simulation license,
these models can be extended to detailed process
models including full thermodynamics, compression,
distillation, and reactions.
Plant performance
Foxboro Control Simulation software provides
the ideal no-risk experimental environment for
evaluating proposed control system revamps, retrofits
and upgrades. It is the ideal test bed for process
modifications, control strategy development and
system additions or changes.
