Foxboro Control Simulation


EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Process Automation System
Checkout and Simulation Tool

Foxboro Control Simulation empowers you to design, operate, and optimize


your plant, allowing for efficient operator training, control systems validation,
and enhanced plant performance.

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.
