ABB FCP280 Field Control Processor Module
The FCP280 from ABB serves as the backbone for complex automation systems where precision and reliability are non-negotiable. I’ve seen this module excel in environments like chemical processing plants and high-speed packaging lines, where split-second control adjustments prevent costly downtime. Its ability to handle both analog and digital signals makes it versatile for applications ranging from temperature regulation in furnaces to motion control in robotic assembly lines.

Application Scenarios
One customer in the automotive sector recently used the FCP280 to upgrade their paint shop automation system – they needed precise control over spray parameters across multiple axes. The module’s deterministic response times reduced paint waste by 18% through tighter regulation of flow rates and pressure. Similarly, in a food processing facility, its IP65 rating proved invaluable in washdown areas where moisture resistance is critical.
We frequently pair this module with complementary systems like ABB’s AC800M controllers or integrate it into legacy Bailey INFI 90 installations. For example, a recent project combined FCP280 processors with 3500/22M protection modules from Bently Nevada to create a hybrid turbine control system for a power plant retrofit.
Our Services
With 18 years of experience and 16 regional warehouses worldwide, we ensure 90% of orders ship within 24 hours. Every FCP280 comes with a 1-year warranty covering both functionality and performance – one client in Singapore had a unit replaced free of charge after an unexpected power surge damaged the module during commissioning.
