Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0002 Safety Manager Control Processor Chassis

Overview

The FC-CPCHAS-0002 (FC-CPCHAS-0002) is a high-integrity chassis engineered specifically for the Honeywell Safety Manager™ (SMS) and Experion® PKS environments. This core infrastructure component is designed to house and provide a redundant backplane for Control Processor (CP) modules, such as the CP3402. By facilitating dual-processor configurations, it enables the Quadruple Modular Redundancy (QMR) technology essential for SIL 3 safety-critical applications, including emergency shutdown (ESD) and fire and gas (F&G) detection systems.

Detailed Specifications

Operational Capabilities

The FC-CPCHAS-0002 functions as the physical and electrical backbone for the safety controller. It features a high-speed communication backplane that manages the data exchange between redundant CPs and I/O expansion modules. The chassis is built to withstand harsh industrial environments, ensuring that critical safety logic remains uninterrupted even during a single processor failure or maintenance event.

Technical FAQ

Is this chassis compatible with non-redundant setups?

Yes, while designed for high availability, the FC-CPCHAS-0002 can support a simplex (non-redundant) configuration by utilizing a single control processor slot, though it is primarily selected for its redundant capabilities.

Does this unit include the power supply modules?

The chassis features an integrated backplane for power distribution; however, specific power supply units (PSUs) and CP modules must be ordered separately to complete the system.
