2. User Notes
The following sections contain information on how the SCD2200 software and hardware
products function, and helpful hints that may not be evident from the product's associated user
guides.

Upload Configuration
 The Upload Configuration function retrieves the current configuration from the
connected RTU and creates a new project. This project contains module definitions
and settings but not any user logic running on the RTU.
 Select the Configuration, Logic, and Project options when the configuration is
downloaded to the RTU, the user logic also gets uploaded. However, it is not loaded
automatically. The package containing the user logic is saved to a specific directory as
shown in the dialog box below.

 Copy the package file ‘project.zip’ from the directory to a folder, unzip it, and open it
in FoxRTU Station. The entire project containing configuration and logic is loaded.

Download Configurations and Logic

 Select Configuration, Logic, and Project to download the entire project file to the
RTU. You can retrieve the project from the RTU (using the Upload Configuration
option on the Tools menu) later, where you can view or modify it.
 Upload Configuration function only reconstructs the configuration in FoxRTU
Station. If the project file is saved to the RTU, Upload Configuration uploads a
package file including both configuration and logic programs. However, the logic
programs are not loaded in FoxRTU Station automatically.

B0780RJ – Rev C 2. User Notes

 Copy the package ‘project.zip’ from the directory to a folder

(C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Foxboro\FoxRTU
Station\2.3.3\Upload\Configuration\project.zip), unzip it, and open it in FoxRTU
Station. The entire project containing configuration and logic is loaded.

Notes
 When upgrading firmware, you must upgrade all the CP-3 and MC-31 modules in an
RTU to the same version.
 Before installing the current FoxRTU Station 2.3.3, you must uninstall the previously
installed FoxRTU Station.
 The new features and CARs fixed in this release are validated in both Windows 7 and
Windows 10 operating systems.

Security Recommendations
 Foxboro® SCADA SCD2200 from Schneider Electric supports various
communication protocols over TCP/IP, UDP and serial communication interfaces.
To help protect from most possible Cyberattacks, Schneider Electric strongly
recommends that you deploy a strategy that leads to a hardened perimeter and follow
the appropriate defense in depth cybersecurity practices as described in Schneider
Electric’s Tested Validated Documented Architecture (TVDA) available in Global
Customer Support at https://pasupport.schneider-
electric.com/content/documents/tvda/docs/b0852ac_a.pdf
 Also refer to the security guidelines in Chapter 5 and Chapter 12 of the FoxRTU
Station User’s Guide (B0780AF) at https://pasupport.schneider-
electric.com/framepage.asp?body=/content/documents/iaseries/scada2/index.htm and
the Cybersecurity Best Practices (B0852AB) for full guidance at
https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/download/document/B0852AB/.

services/industrialautomation/industrial-cybersecurity/industrial-cybersecurity.jsp.

Compatibility between FoxRTU Station and CP-3

Firmware
The CP-3 firmware 6793 must be used in conjunction with FoxRTU Station 2.3.3. Both are
provided with the SCD2200 Rev 9.0 release.

Note
 Do not connect previous versions of FoxRTU Station to an SCD2200 equipped with
SCD2200 Rev 9.0 firmware release (6793).

4
2. User Notes B0780RJ – Rev C

 Do not connect FoxRTU Station 2.3.3 to an SCD2200 equipped with previous

firmware releases, such as 2604 and subsequent quick fixes. Though these
configurations may seem to operate correctly, they may lead to incorrect operations
under certain conditions.
 If the above mentioned points are not followed, and if CP3/MC31 module consists of
FW6793, then the FoxRTU Station version 1.1.0 or later is required (2.3.0 or later is
recommended). However, some of the features does not work. If FoxRTU Station
2.3.3 is used, then the recommended minimum firmware version is 5130.

Migrating to SCD2200 Rev 9.0

Migrating from Projects in SCD2200 Rev 8.0 or Later
To migrate the projects from FoxRTU Station 2.3.0 (SCD2200 Rev 8.0) or later to
FoxRTU Station 2.3.3 (SCD2200 Rev 9.0):
1. On the main window of the FoxRTU Station, select and click Open an existing
project.
2. Browse to the desired project’s directory and select the foxboro.mdb file. You are
prompted that the project was created with an earlier version.
3. Click OK. The project is migrated successfully.
4. Click Save after the project is loaded.
The project now is installed with the SCD2200 Rev 9.0 firmware and is ready to be modified,
recompiled, and downloaded to the RTU.

NOTICE
POTENTIAL DATA LOSS

For redundant CPs, you must check that the Trigger execution timeout
is correctly set for each CP following migration.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in loss of data.

Migrating from Projects Before SCD2200 Rev 8.0

To migrate a project, you must open and save it in the desired FoxRTU Station version as
described in “Migrating from Projects in SCD2200 Rev 8.0 or Later” on page 5. To migrate
projects developed in FoxRTU Station versions prior to SCD2200 Rev 8.0, we recommend that
you migrate your projects to each of the intermediate releases before you migrate to the latest
release. Table 2-1 lists the FoxRTU Station versions and their required migrations.

Upgrading CPU Firmware

Before upgrading a CP-3/MC-31module:
1. Connect to the module using FoxRTU Station.
2. Click Status and check the version of the existing firmware.
 If the firmware version is earlier than version 2874 and the new upgrade version is
within the 2874-3100 range such as 2874, 2981, and 3100, then you can upgrade
this module directly to that version.
 If the firmware version is earlier than version 2874 and the new upgrade version is
later than 3100, then you cannot upgrade this module directly to that release. You
must first upgrade to a version within the 2874-3100 range and then upgrade to
the new version.
 If the firmware version is within the 2874-3100 range, then you can upgrade the
module directly to this release.
To download the firmware:
1. Connect the PC running FoxRTU Station 2.3.3 to the Ethernet port of CP-3/MC-31
module.
2. From the FoxRTU Station main window, select Download > Firmware.
3. Browse to firmware7504.tgz or above.
4. Confirm and wait for the download to complete and for the CP-3/MC-31 module to
reset.
5. Download the configuration file into CP-3 by selecting Download > Configuration
and Logic.
6. Wait for the download to complete.
7. Click Status and check that the build number displayed is 7504 or above.
