Honeywell TC-FPCXX2 Experion Series Power Supply Module

Description

Providing regulated operating power to local rack configurations, the Honeywell TC-FPCXX2 serves as a high-reliability chassis power supply module engineered for industrial process control environments. This module accepts selectable AC input ranges to deliver a maximum continuous output of 70 W at 60 degC, ensuring stable voltage distribution to adjacent controller and I/O modules. The unit incorporates integrated thermal protection and structural overcurrent safeguarding via an onboard soldered internal fuse to maintain system integrity under transient fault conditions.

Key Features

• Dual-Range Input: Field-selectable slide switch accommodates both 85-132 VAC and 170-265 VAC nominal input voltages.
• Thermal De-rating Performance: Capable of delivering a full 70 W power envelope at ambient temperatures up to 60 degC.
• Robust Fault Isolation: Features a factory-soldered, non-replaceable internal input fuse to protect upstream distribution systems.
• Form Factor Integration: Standard chassis slot footprint allows direct insertion into compatible Honeywell controller backplanes.

Applications

• Honeywell Experion LX control systems and regional I/O rack power distribution.
• Legacy PlantScape controller chassis retrofits and upgrades.
• Distributed Control System (DCS) nodes in petrochemical, refining, and water treatment utilities.

Empirical Engineering Insights

Alternative Models & Compatibility

The TC-FPCXX2 is functionally interchangeable with older Honeywell legacy chassis power options, but caution must be exercised regarding mounting pitch and backplane connector alignment. While standard C200 controllers utilize similar configurations, always verify that the chassis slot keying matches the deep-recessed connector housing on the back of this module before attempting hot insertion.

Application Pitfalls & Engineering Notes

Because this power supply uses a non-replaceable, soldered-in input fuse, external overcurrent protection (such as an inline terminal block fuse or miniature circuit breaker rated at 5 A or 10 A depending on input configuration) is highly recommended. If an internal component fault triggers the soldered fuse, the entire unit must be serviced or replaced; external fusing mitigates transient line surges from rendering the module permanently inoperable on site.

Commissioning & Wiring Tips

Before applying power, verify the position of the dual-voltage slide selector switch located on the unit. Energizing a module configured for 115 VAC with a 230 VAC supply line will cause immediate, catastrophic damage to the input varistors and internal circuitry, voiding standard field warranties.
