Honeywell TC-CCN013 Redundant Net Interface

Core Advantages: Why Choose the TC-CCN013?

1. Dual Redundant Network Architecture for Interruption-Free Data Transmission

• Features 2 independent network channels (supports redundant topologies such as ring/star).Adopts an "active-standby hot backup" mechanism: if the active channel experiences link interruptions, signal interference, or hardware failures, it automatically switches to the standby channel with a switchover time of <100ms—no data loss or transmission delay. Ideal for industries like oil & gas and chemicals that require "zero downtime."

• Equipped with "real-time channel health monitoring." Front-panel LED indicators (active/standby channel status, fault alerts) provide intuitive feedback on network link conditions, reducing manual troubleshooting time.

2. Broad Protocol Compatibility for Seamless Honeywell Ecosystem Integration

• Natively supports Honeywell proprietary protocols (e.g., Honeywell ControlNet, FSC Network) and industrial standard protocols (e.g., Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP). Ensures plug-and-play integration with Honeywell’s core control platforms (Experion PKS DCS, FSC safety controllers) and compatibility with third-party industrial devices (e.g., remote I/O extenders, SCADA systems) for flexible network expansion.

3. Robust Anti-Interference & Industrial-Grade Durability

• Integrates 2500 VDC galvanic isolation between network channels and the system backplane, effectively suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from nearby industrial equipment (e.g., motors, variable-frequency drives). Ensures stable data transmission even in harsh electrical environments.

• Constructed with industrial-grade materials (e.g., flame-retardant ABS housing, corrosion-resistant connector contacts) that meet IEC 60068-2 standards for shock (10G peak) and vibration (5G rms) resistance—suitable for long-term operation in dusty, high-humidity, or temperature-fluctuating industrial sites.

  
  

Application Scenarios (Industry-Specific Use Cases)

1. Oil & Gas Industry

• Used in offshore platforms or onshore refineries to connect distributed control systems (Experion PKS) with remote wellhead monitoring devices. Redundant network channels prevent data transmission interruptions caused by harsh weather (e.g., storms) or cable damage, ensuring real-time control of oil extraction and refining processes.

2. Chemical & Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

• Integrates with FSC Fail-Safe Controllers to enable redundant data exchange between safety loops (e.g., reactor temperature/pressure monitoring) and the central DCS. Ensures that safety interlocks (e.g., emergency shutdowns) are triggered without delay, complying with IEC 61511 safety standards.

3. Power Generation (Thermal/Nuclear)

• Connects turbine control systems, boiler monitoring modules, and grid dispatch terminals. Redundant network architecture avoids production losses caused by single-point network failures, supporting stable power output and grid connection.

4. Water & Wastewater Treatment

• Links distributed I/O modules (e.g., flow meters, pH sensors) in treatment plants to the central control system. The module’s anti-interference design ensures accurate transmission of water quality data, even in environments with high electrical noise from pumps or aeration equipment.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Simplified Installation: Supports tool-less DIN rail mounting; pre-labeled connectors (e.g., "Network In," "Controller Out") prevent reverse wiring. Redundant power input ports (if equipped) can be connected to dual power supplies for further reliability.

• Hot-Swap Capability: Compatible with Honeywell’s hot-swap I/O architecture (when used with matching backplanes), allowing module replacement without shutting down the entire control system—minimizing maintenance downtime.

• Remote Diagnostics: Integrates with Honeywell’s Experion PKS software for remote monitoring of network status, channel health, and fault logs. Alerts (e.g., link failure, low power) are pushed to the operator station in real time, enabling proactive maintenance.

FAQ (Addressing Customer Pain Points)

1. Q: Is the TC-CCN013 compatible with non-Honeywell control systems?

   A: Yes. While optimized for Honeywell ecosystems, it supports standard protocols like Modbus

   TCP and EtherNet/IP, enabling integration with third-party DCS/SCADA systems (e.g., Siemens,

   Rockwell) with minimal configuration.

2. Q: What is the maximum distance supported by the redundant network channels?

   A: For copper Ethernet cables, it supports up to 100 meters (per IEEE 802.3 standards). For longer

   distances (e.g., cross-plant connections), it can be paired with industrial fiber optic transceivers.

3. Q: Does the module require regular firmware updates?

   A: Honeywell provides firmware updates via the Experion PKS software portal to enhance

   compatibility and fix potential issues. Updates can be applied remotely without physical access to

   the module.
