Honeywell TC-CCR012 Experion C200 Redundant ControlNet Interface Module

Description

To establish reliable, high-integrity communication within distributed control architectures, the Honeywell TC-CCR012 serves as a specialized Redundant Net Interface Module designed for the Experion PKS system family. This module interfaces the C200 controller chassis with redundant ControlNet media links, ensuring uninterrupted communication pathways between controller modules, I/O chassis, and supervisory layers. By continuously monitoring the active communication links, the module provides seamless media failover capabilities to mitigate the risk of single-point network failures in critical industrial processes.

Operating directly within the chassis backplane, the unit routes high-speed control data and diagnostics across dual physical media channels. Its design minimizes power draw from the system backplane while providing robust electrical isolation and noise immunity suitable for harsh industrial environments.

Features

• Dual-channel communication interface supporting full ControlNet media redundancy.
• Automatic, transparent switchover between Network Channels A and B in the event of media degradation or disconnection.
• Direct integration with Honeywell Experion PKS C200 backplanes.
• Low power profile to minimize heat dissipation within the control enclosure.
• Front-panel status indicators providing immediate diagnostics on module health and active network channels.
• Supports hot-swapping under power (within approved non-hazardous or appropriately rated environments).

Applications

• Oil and gas refining and upstream production facilities.
• Chemical and petrochemical processing plants.
• Power generation facilities running Experion C200 system architectures.
• Pulp and paper manufacturing lines requiring continuous process uptime.

Installation Guidelines

• Verify that the chassis backplane power is off or follow safety procedures for hot-swap operations in non-hazardous locations.
• Align the module with the guide rails of the designated chassis slot and press firmly until the module is fully seated in the backplane connectors.
• Secure the module using the integral mounting screws to ensure proper grounding and mechanical stability.
• Connect the redundant coaxial network cables to Channel A and Channel B, ensuring BNC connectors are twisted and locked securely.
• Confirm that the ControlNet network is properly terminated with matching 75-ohm terminators at both physical ends of the trunk cable.
