EcoStruxure Foxboro DCS Control Editors products

Resource isolation: Client and server resources are isolated, with the client only providing an operating interface and core computing relying on server resources to ensure operational stability;

Fault tolerance: Supports redundant configuration of critical hardware, combined with change tracking and fault diagnosis functions, to quickly locate and handle operational anomalies;

Real time synchronization: Configure data and run data to be synchronized in real-time, ensuring that modified parameters take effect in a timely manner and guaranteeing the accuracy of control logic.

Software and hardware specification requirements

（1） Minimum configuration requirements

Device/Role Memory (RAM) Hard Disk Capacity Special Instructions

Remote desktop services require a minimum of 16GB, with a recommended minimum of 32GB and 150GB for controlling HMI. Virtual machines based on remote desktop services require additional reserved space, with each user requiring 3GB of C drive space for managing applications

Control software Galaxy minimum 16GB, recommended 32GB minimum 250GB for storing system configuration and policy data

The control software Historian has a minimum of 16GB, with a recommended minimum of 32GB and 500GB for storing historical operational data, which needs to be expanded according to the data volume

All other roles require a minimum of 16GB, with a recommended minimum of 32GB and 150GB, covering regular clients, configured workstations, etc

（2） System and hardware compatibility

Operating System: Supports Windows Server IoT 2022 or Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (64 bit version);

Computer hardware: Hardware devices that require Foxboro DCS certification, such as D96, H90, H92, H94, V91, V95, etc;

Communication network: Require 100 Mbps TCP/IP switched Ethernet to ensure stability and real-time data transmission.

Product advantages and applicable scenarios

（1） Core advantages

Engineering efficiency improvement: Through graphic design, template reuse, batch operation and other functions, the initial design and expansion transformation cycle of the project is significantly shortened, reducing repetitive labor;

Configuration quality assurance: standardized design process, role-based permission control, and change tracking function to ensure consistency, security, and traceability of control logic;

Strong system compatibility: Supports migration from legacy systems (I/A Series, old Foxboro DCS), compatible with multiple fieldbus devices and third-party systems, reducing system upgrade and integration costs;

Full lifecycle support: covering the entire process of project design, deployment, debugging, operation, and upgrade, providing one-stop configuration and management tools to adapt to the needs of different stages of the project.

（2） Applicable scenarios

New industrial automation projects: suitable for new projects in industries such as chemical, power, pharmaceutical, petroleum, etc., quickly build Foxboro DCS control system;

Existing system upgrade and renovation: Provide a technical upgrade path for existing users of Foxboro DCS to achieve smooth migration of control logic and functional expansion;

Large scale project expansion: supports batch generation and configuration strategies, adapting to the control requirements of large factories or cross regional projects;

Multi project reuse scenario: The control strategy and intellectual property of one project can be transferred to other projects, and the new scenario can be adapted through editing tools to improve the efficiency of multi project implementation.
