FOXBORO H92 Process Automation System

FOXBORO H92 Process Automation System

Overview

Vital software processes are often placed onto stand-alone workstations, with redundancy provided through replicating that configuration. This permits continued plant operation during maintenance as well as in the unusual event of workstation unavailability. Workstations can be remotely mounted in secured enclosures or spaces with the operator interface equipment installed through the use of Remote Graphics Units. The H92EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Standard Workstation can be used with EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Control Core Services software and EcoStruxure Foxboro DCSControl Software, and can also provide a platform for Foxboro, third-party, and user-written applications. As amultipurpose workstation running the Windows 10 64-bit operating system, the H92 workstation supports execution of system applications, data communications for a broad range of applications, file serving capabilities, and display of graphics and text. It also interfaces with corporate networks at a local or worldwide level. The workstation supports a mouse or optional trackball, an alphanumeric keyboard,up to four USB annunciator or annunciator/numeric keyboards, and one to four monitors. The H92 workstation also supports an optional USB touchscreen(purchased separately with the monitor) and an optional USB speaker set (purchased separately). The workstation features up to three internal serial ATA hard disk drives, which can be optionally configured as RAID1, and comes with 8 GB of ECC RAM memory(expandable to 16 GB). The processor supports an internal DVD+RW drive. Client/server communication is accomplished using the TCP/IP networking protocol with the integrated Ethernet network port or optional Ethernet network interface cards(NICs). As indicated by the CE logo, the Model H92 workstation conforms to the applicable European Union directives.

Workstation Security The Foxboro DCS workstation supports optional product features to allow customers to meet plant requirements for enhanced workstation security. Plant requirements for enhanced Foxboro DCS workstation security can be met through a combination of new product security enhancements as well as implementing best security policies,practices, and procedures. Foxboro DCS workstation enhanced product security requirements are supported in two broad categories, namely, workstation software including passwords, and workstation platform hardening. Workstation software supports: • Changeable login passwords • Individual user passwords • Passwordlock-out after a user-configurable number of unsuccessful login attempts and secured mechanisms to reset login • Passwordaging that requires password change on a periodic basis • Passwordsupport of alphanumeric and symbol characters as per Microsoft convention • Passwordfile protection

Installation Considerations These new security enhancements are supported only on Microsoft Windows 10 stations which support the control network and require a software update to the latest Foxboro DCS software release to obtain these security features. The security enhancements can be deployed on a subset of workstations to help increase security,but in order to maximize security protection, all workstations need to be updated to the latest software release to obtain the full benefits.

Optional Trellix®Software Packages See Trellix Security Products (PSS 41S-4Trellix) for the product specifications for the optional Trellix products.

Mounting Options

With quad PCIe video cards, the Model H92 workstation can be located up to 30 m (100 ft) from the monitor, using direct connect, analog video and other human interface cables available from Foxboro. This video connection will only operate when the Foxboro P/N RH924DF (100 ft VGA cable) is used or the RH103ER Mini Displayport to VGA adapter is used. 

Four mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort cables are included with the video card. The DisplayPort cables (RH103EN, RH103EP, and RH103EQ) are sold separately. 

Two optional Remote Graphics Unit (RGU) offerings are provided for each workstation to enable video, USB, and FireWire devices to be located at a distance from the workstation. For more information, see Remote Graphics Unit For H92 Workstations Overview, page 12. 

Devices that can be remote mounted via the RGU include monitors, the keyboard and mouse (or trackball), audio via USB speakers, USB touchscreens, and external USB drives
