Honeywell TC-CCR012 Redundant Net Interface Module

Core Advantages: Why Choose the TC-CCR012?

1. High-Speed Single-Channel Connectivity, Stable Data Transmission

• Features 1 high-performance Ethernet channel with auto-negotiation support for 10/100 Mbps speeds, ensuring fast, continuous data transmission between control systems (e.g., C300 Controller) and field devices (e.g., remote I/O modules, SCADA terminals). Optimized for low latency (＜5ms typical), it meets real-time monitoring and control requirements for general industrial processes.

• Equipped with real-time link status monitoring: Front-panel LED indicators (e.g., "Link Active," "Data Transmitting," "Fault") provide instant visual feedback on network connectivity, helping maintenance teams quickly identify issues like cable disconnections or signal loss.

2. Broad Protocol Compatibility, Seamless Ecosystem Integration

• Natively supports Honeywell proprietary protocols (e.g., Honeywell ControlNet, FSC Network) and mainstream 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., smart sensors, frequency converters), eliminating protocol mismatches and simplifying system expansion.

3. Industrial-Grade Anti-Interference & Durability

• Integrates 2500 VDC galvanic isolation between the network channel and the system backplane, effectively suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) from nearby industrial equipment (e.g., motors, high-voltage drives). Ensures stable data transmission even in harsh electrical environments (e.g., manufacturing workshops, small-scale chemical plants).

• Constructed with flame-retardant, corrosion-resistant materials (e.g., ABS housing with IP20 protection) and compliant with 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.

4. Cost-Effective Solution for Non-Redundant Scenarios

• Tailored for applications where redundant networks are not required (e.g., small-scale production lines, auxiliary process monitoring), offering reliable performance at a lower cost compared to redundant modules. Reduces unnecessary investment while meeting basic network connectivity needs for industrial control.

Application Scenarios (Industry-Specific Use Cases)

1. Small-to-Medium Manufacturing (Automotive, Electronics)

• Connects production line control systems (e.g., Experion PKS for assembly line monitoring) with auxiliary devices like conveyor belt sensors, temperature probes, or quality inspection cameras. The single-channel design provides cost-effective connectivity, ensuring real-time data feedback for process optimization.

2. Food & Beverage Processing

• Integrates with FSC Fail-Safe Controllers to link non-safety-critical loops (e.g., ingredient mixing speed monitoring, packaging line status tracking) to the central DCS. Its anti-interference design resists electrical noise from mixers or pumps, ensuring accurate data transmission for compliance with food safety standards (e.g., FDA).

3. Small-Scale Water & Wastewater Treatment

• Links distributed I/O modules (e.g., flow meters, pH sensors in secondary treatment tanks) to the central control system. The module’s industrial-grade durability withstands humid, chemical-exposed environments, while its low latency ensures timely adjustment of treatment processes (e.g., chemical dosing).

4. Auxiliary Power Systems (Solar, Wind)

• Connects auxiliary control modules (e.g., battery charge/discharge monitors, inverter status sensors) to the power management system. Provides stable data transmission for tracking auxiliary equipment performance, supporting efficient operation of renewable energy facilities.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Tool-Less Installation: Supports standard 35mm DIN rail mounting; color-coded and labeled connectors (e.g., "Ethernet Out," "Power In," "Controller In") prevent wiring errors, reducing on-site installation time.

• Hot-Swap Compatibility: When paired with Honeywell’s compatible I/O backplanes, it supports hot-swap replacement—allowing module maintenance without shutting down the entire control loop, minimizing production downtime.

• Remote Monitoring: Integrates with Honeywell’s Experion PKS software for remote tracking of network status (e.g., data transmission rate, link stability) and fault logs. Alerts (e.g., power loss, Ethernet disconnection) are sent to the operator station in real time, enabling proactive troubleshooting.

FAQ (Addressing Customer Pain Points)

1. Q: Can the TC-CCR012 be upgraded to a redundant network setup?

   A: No. The TC-CCR012 is a single-channel module and does not support redundant expansion. For redundant needs, we recommend Honeywell’s TC-CCN013 Redundant Net Interface, which is fully compatible with the same control systems.

2. Q: What is the maximum transmission distance supported by the TC-CCR012?

   A: For standard Cat5e/Cat6 copper cables, it supports up to 100 meters (per IEEE 802.3 standards). For longer distances (e.g., cross-facility connections), pair it with industrial fiber optic transceivers to extend reach to kilometers.

3. Q: Is the TC-CCR012 suitable for hazardous areas (e.g., ATEX Zone 2)?

   A: The standard model is designed for non-hazardous areas. For hazardous environment use, contact Honeywell to confirm availability of ATEX/IECEx-certified variants, or use it with explosion-proof enclosures compliant with local safety standards.

4. Q: Does the module require special software for configuration?

   A: No. It can be configured directly via Honeywell’s Experion PKS Control Builder software—no additional tools are needed. Pre-built templates simplify parameter setting (e.g., protocol selection, IP address assignment).
