Product Description

The P0960HA is a high-capacity gateway processor for the Foxboro I/A Series system. It enables legacy Nodebus-based hardware to communicate seamlessly with modern high-speed Mesh networks, allowing incremental modernization of control infrastructure without a full system overhaul.

Engineered for high-traffic data routing and protocol translation, the P0960HA maintains millisecond-level synchronization of process values, alarms, and configuration data across the distributed control network. Its industrial-grade design includes advanced error-checking to ensure data integrity even in electrically noisy environments.

Technical Specifications

Application

The P0960HA is widely deployed in control hubs of oil refineries, chemical plants, and large utility stations. It is essential when older I/A Series workstations or processors must interface with Foxboro Evo or Mesh-based control software, providing reliable, high-speed cross-generational data exchange.

Engineering FAQ

Can the P0960HA replace older P0961 series gateways?
The P0960HA is designed for Mesh-to-Nodebus bridging. Verify the current software version (e.g., I/A Series v8.0+) to ensure full driver compatibility.

Does this module support hot-swapping?
Yes. In a redundant pair, the secondary module maintains network traffic, allowing the primary unit to be removed for maintenance without interrupting operations.
