Engineering Tools

Enhance engineering productivity

Foxboro Control Software Configuration Tools provide a powerful and integrated engineering suite to greatly enhance both engineering productivity and quality. FCS Configuration Tools allow for configuring applications and control objects, and provide a consistent environment and common method for design implementation.

Features such as user-defined templates, object inheritance and control strategy nesting provide a rich environment for the creation of reusable intellectual property libraries thereby promoting standardization and reducing project-specific engineering. Bulk generation of project databases, bulk edits via scripting languages and object attribute propagation where users write once and use many times, significantly reduce the labor content to specify, test and correct manual entries.

In addition, self-documentation What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG), a Visio-based graphical rendering engine and sophisticated printing options greatly enhance the user experience and reduce the learning requirements needed to effectively maintain the system throughout its commissioned lifecycle.
