Foxboro Visualization and Configuration ToolsHigh-performing, productivity-enhancing visualization and engineering tools for the Foxboro Control system.

SIMPLIFIED, INTEGRATED ENGINEERING Optimize Engineering Workflow

Enhance engineering productivity and reduce efforts with Foxboro® configuration tools. Simplified toolsets, common human interfacing and standardized template-based objects for building and maintaining Foxboro I/A Series® control strategies and configurations can be easily deployed and reused across multi-site operations. Based upon a standardized function set, configuration of the Foxboro Control system now becomes a matter of assembling application objects in a fashion similar to constructing a process flow diagram. By shifting the emphasis away from programming and toward assembling strategies, you can now spend more time devising better, safer control strategies.

Design, implement, deploy faster and easier

Reduce mundane programming tasks and reduce risk associated with implementing application changes — ensuring global consistency and best practices. The cost of project implementation is greatly reduced making your job easier and more productive.

Maximize cost-savings and plant uptime

Foxboro Field Device Manager (FDM) is a software application within Configuration Tools that offers complete support and management of intelligent devices from any vendor utilizing any fieldbus protocol. FDM provides superior device management, greatly reducing the probability that an unexpected device failure will cause plant downtime. This predictive device maintenance approach allows you to locate problems early, before they become severe and grants the time to plan corrective actions without downtime. FDM offers simplified configuration, commissioning, and maintenance to optimize your field devices. With Foxboro ‘Any bus’ interoperability, you maintain your preferences because Foxboro adapts to you.

• Graphical construction, deployment of Foxboro control strategies

• User-defined renderings of re-usable control strategies

• Printed reports of control strategy drawings and support

• Live updates of real-time values superimposed on control strategy drawings

• Control strategy bulk generation and migration

• Ability to import and export

• Supports any intelligent devices from any vendor utilizing any fieldbus protocol

• Concurrent access to the database

POWERFULLY INTUITIVE VISUALIZATION TOOLS Foxboro InTouch HMI combines industry leading visualization software with cutting-edge graphical advances enabling you to quickly and easily be more productive and effective.

Maximize productivity and optimize user effectiveness

Foxboro HMI tools include easy-to-use, object-oriented programmable graphics and tightly integrated communication connectivity to the Foxboro Mesh Control network. This open and extensible HMI enables flexibility in custom application design with connectivity to the broadest set of control and automation devices in the industry. Resulting in a well designed standards-driven systems that maximize productivity, optimize user effectiveness, increase quality, and lower costs.

Easy –to-use wizards and templates

Realize considerable savings by reducing application engineering, testing and deployment time, with the creation of reusable templates from graphics. SmartSymbol graphics enable rapid propagation of changes throughout the application and even across multiple networked PC workstations. This makes changing, upgrading and modifying very fast and simple

Unequaled device integration and connectivity

Connect to virtually any device using hundreds of available I/O and OPC servers that are designed to connect to control systems and devices.

Avoid costly downtime, enable faster responses

Leverage built-in real time and historical capabilities that offer several alarm analysis tools to provide the information needed to proactively correct situations. You can now determine the nature of an alarm, its location and options for supporting fast analysis of alarm conditions coupled with immediate response capabilities.

• Resolution independent graphics and intelligent symbols

• Intuitive, easy to navigate display hierarchy

• Sophisticated scripting to extend and customize applications for your needs

• Foxboro control block faceplate overlays

• Role-based security options

• Real-time distributed Alarming with historical views for analysis
