Schneider Electric, the global specialist in energy management and automation, has updated its Foxboro Intelligent Marshalling solution. The new Intelligent Marshalling FBM248 offering now includes redundancy capabilities, which eliminates the costly and labor-intensive marshalling process traditionally required for control systems and further enhances the reliability and efficiency of control system design and operation. Likewise, the Tricon CX compact safety system has been enhanced with the addition of the 3902X TMR universal I/O module.
Announced at CONNECT 2016, Schneider Electric's annual, four-day automation conference being held this year at the New Orleans Marriott Hotel, the Foxboro Evo FBM 248 and Tricon CX 3902X remove the dependency among control and safety system design and the installation of I/O systems. Universal I/O offerings for Foxboro Evo and Triconex reportedly enable process automation professionals to seamlessly adapt to last-minute I/O design changes and provides backup to eliminate the impact of any process downtime.
Intelligent Marshalling with universal I/O and software-configurable modules allows users to configure I/O points from anywhere in the plant or in the world. They also enable flexible options for future expansions and upgrades, as well as significant cost savings by reducing marshalling infrastructure, increasing I/O density per cabinet, reducing field and maintenance labor costs and drastic reductions in the need for onsite replacement inventory.
Launched at Schneider Electric's Global Automation Conference in 2015, the Tricon CX will experience an upgrade in the coming months to incorporate the universal I/O capabilities with the Tricon CX 3902X Safety Intelligent Marshalling module.
