Description

The Honeywell CC-PCNT01(Part Number: 51405046-175) is a C300 controller module designed for distributed process control and I/O gateway operation within the Honeywell Experion PKS Series C automation architecture.

The module features conformally coated printed circuit assemblies enclosed in a protective plastic housing with integrated LED status indicators and a local display. Operating on a chassis-less design, the Honeywell CC-PCNT01 plugs directly onto an Input Output Termination Assembly (IOTA), specifically the CC-TCNT01, eliminating the need for a separate physical rack or backplane.

The Honeywell CC-PCNT01 supports both non-redundant and fully redundant control topologies. High-availability redundancy is integrated directly into the controller design, enabling seamless dual-controller pairing via a dedicated redundancy link cable. The unit interfaces with field I/O through dual I/O Link channels and integrates into plant supervisory systems via Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) connections provided on the underlying termination assembly.

Features

• Executes distributed process control functions and acts as an I/O gateway for Experion Series C systems.
• Utilizes a chassis-less Series C form factor that mounts directly to a dedicated Input Output Termination Assembly.
• Features conformally coated circuit boards (CC prefix) for added environmental protection against industrial contaminants.
• Supports non-redundant and fully redundant high-availability operating modes with automatic synchronization.
• Equipped with front-panel LED status indicators and an alphanumeric display for direct operational monitoring.
• Connects to field I/O networks via dual I/O Link interface connections on the base termination assembly.
• Receives regulated 24VDC system power directly through the termination assembly interface.

Applications

• Distributed Process Control: Executing complex continuous, batch, and logic control algorithms in plant automation environments.
• Experion Series C Network Gateway: Interfacing Series C I/O modules with Experion PKS human-machine interfaces and supervisory networks.
• High-Availability Operations: Providing continuous, uninterrupted control in critical processing applications requiring full hardware redundancy.

Connections / Interfaces

Installation Guidelines

1. Confirm that the system power distribution supply provides a stable 24 VDC and that the target slot uses a compatible CC-TCNT01 IOTA.
2. Inspect the rear electrical connectors and plastic housing of the CC-PCNT01 module for physical damage prior to installation.
3. Align the module housing with the mounting guides on the CC-TCNT01 termination assembly.
4. Press the module firmly onto the IOTA connector until the retention latches engage fully.
5. Verify that all network, I/O Link, and redundancy cables connected to the underlying IOTA are properly secured.
6. Apply 24 VDC system power and monitor the front-panel status display to confirm proper module initialization.

Configuration Guidelines

1. Connect to the controller using Control Builder engineering software via the Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) network.
2. Assign the controller node address and network communication parameters in the Experion hardware configuration tree.
3. For redundant operations, configure the secondary controller node and confirm signal synchronization across the dedicated redundancy link.
4. Download the control strategy to the CC-PCNT01 module and perform a parameter backup.

Replacement Recommendations

1. Verify system strategy backups are up to date. If operating in a redundant pair, ensure the secondary controller is online and synchronized.
2. Isolate power to the controller slot or initiate a controlled failover to the standby unit before removing the module.
3. Release the mechanical retention clips on the CC-PCNT01 and pull the module straight off the CC-TCNT01 IOTA.
4. Mount the replacement CC-PCNT01 module securely onto the IOTA connector and restore system power.
5. Verify that the replacement unit establishes network connectivity, downloads configuration data, and returns to normal operational status.
