Purpose

This User Guide provides an overview of I/A Series®/Control Core Services software as it relates to AVEVA Simulation for Foxboro Control (SCP). It includes descriptions of common procedures associated with configuring a simulator for controls checkout and details of specific SCP features.

SCP software is a uniquely comprehensive Foxboro EvoTM Control Core Services control system checkout and simulation tool. SCP software functions as a perfect double to an I/A Series/Control Core Services Control Processor, enabling faster control system commissioning, superior system design quality, reliable operator training, and cost-effective system retrofits. The SCPEngine that replaces the control processor is tied to a "lite" version of the AVEVA Dynamic Simulation® (DYNSIM) process-modeling package. The instrument and control signals that link the two pieces together are managed with the cross-reference database utility built into the DYNSIM Graphical User Interface (GUI). This guide contains an overview of the Foxboro Evo control system as it relates to the SCP process-modeling package, including common procedures such as loading and saving controls, typical simulation use cases, and features in the DYNSIM GUI environment that relate to SCP software.
