Overview
Schneider Electric’s simulated control processor (SCP) is a virtual simulation of Foxboro control processors CP270 and CP280, combined with DYNSIM® dynamic modeling capability. SCP is built on the block algorithms and communication infrastructure of EcoStruxure™ Foxboro DCS and I/A Series® process automation.
All operational and engineering applications, processes and equipment that run with Foxboro control systems run the same way with SCP software.
All operational and engineering applications, processes and equipment that run with Foxboro control systems run the same way with SCP software.
