Honeywell TC-CCR013 Control Module

Core Advantages: Why Choose the TC-CCR013?

1. High-Stability Single-Channel Data Transmission

• Features 1 industrial-grade Ethernet channel with auto-negotiation (10/100 Mbps) and full/half-duplex auto-sensing, ensuring consistent data flow between Honeywell controllers (e.g., C300) and field devices (remote I/O modules, smart sensors, SCADA terminals). Boasts a typical latency of ＜4ms, meeting real-time monitoring and control requirements for processes like assembly line synchronization or material handling.

• Equipped with real-time link diagnostics: Front-panel LED indicators (e.g., "Link Active," "Data Tx/Rx," "Fault") provide instant visibility into network status, allowing maintenance teams to quickly resolve issues such as loose cables, signal interference, or device disconnections—reducing troubleshooting time by up to 50%.

2. Broad Protocol Compatibility for Seamless Integration

• Natively supports Honeywell proprietary protocols (e.g., Honeywell ControlNet, FSC Network) and mainstream industrial standard protocols (Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP). Ensures plug-and-play integration with Honeywell’s core control platforms (Experion PKS, FSC) and compatibility with third-party devices (e.g., Siemens S7 PLCs, Rockwell I/O extenders), eliminating protocol mismatches and simplifying system expansion.

• Pre-configured protocol templates in Honeywell’s Control Builder software reduce setup time—no specialized coding required for basic operation.

3. Industrial-Grade Durability & Anti-Interference Design

• Incorporates 2500 VDC galvanic isolation between the network channel and system backplane, effectively suppressing electromagnetic interference (EMI) from nearby equipment (motors, variable-frequency drives) and ground loops. Ensures stable data transmission even in high-noise environments (e.g., manufacturing workshops, small chemical plants).

• Constructed with flame-retardant ABS housing (IP20 protection rating) and corrosion-resistant connector contacts, complying with IEC 60068-2 standards for shock (10G peak) and vibration (5G rms) resistance. Operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°C to 85°C and 5%–95% non-condensing humidity—suitable for harsh industrial sites.

4. Cost-Effective Solution for Non-Redundant Needs

• Tailored for applications where redundant networks are unnecessary (e.g., auxiliary process monitoring, small-scale production lines), offering comparable reliability to redundant modules at a lower cost. Avoids overinvestment while meeting the basic network connectivity needs of industrial control systems.

Application Scenarios (Industry-Specific Use Cases)

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

• Connects Experion PKS controllers to auxiliary production equipment (e.g., conveyor belt speed sensors, PCB inspection cameras, robotic arm status monitors). The TC-CCR013’s low latency ensures real-time data feedback, supporting process optimization and quality control—without the cost of redundant networking.

2. Food & Beverage Processing

• Integrates with FSC Fail-Safe Controllers to link non-safety-critical loops (e.g., ingredient mixing temperature monitoring, packaging line throughput trackers) to the central DCS. Its anti-interference design resists electrical noise from mixers or pumps, ensuring data accuracy for compliance with FDA and EU food safety regulations.

3. Small-Scale Water & Wastewater Treatment

• Links distributed I/O modules (e.g., flow meters in filtration tanks, pH sensors in disinfection units) to the central control system. The module’s industrial-grade durability withstands humid, chemical-exposed environments, while its stable transmission ensures timely adjustments to treatment processes (e.g., chlorine dosing).

4. Auxiliary Renewable Energy Systems (Solar PV, Small Wind Farms)

• Connects auxiliary control devices (e.g., battery storage charge/discharge monitors, inverter cooling fan controllers) to the power management system. Provides reliable data transmission for tracking equipment performance, supporting efficient operation and preventive maintenance of renewable energy facilities.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Tool-Less, Error-Proof Installation: Supports standard 35mm DIN rail mounting; color-coded connectors ("Ethernet," "Power In," "Controller Out") and clear labeling prevent wiring mistakes. Average installation time is under 15 minutes for trained personnel.

• Hot-Swap Capability: When paired with Honeywell’s compatible C Series I/O backplanes, the TC-CCR013 supports hot-swap replacement—allowing module maintenance without shutting down the entire control loop, minimizing production downtime.

• Remote Monitoring & Diagnostics: Integrates with Experion PKS software for remote tracking of network metrics (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 before issues impact production.

FAQ (Addressing Customer Pain Points)

1. Q: Can the TC-CCR013 be used in a redundant network setup?

   A: No. The TC-CCR013 is a single-channel module and does not support redundancy. For redundant networking needs, we recommend Honeywell’s TC-CCN013 Redundant Net Interface, which is fully compatible with the same Experion PKS and FSC systems.

2. Q: What is the maximum transmission distance for the TC-CCR013?

   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 Honeywell’s industrial fiber optic transceivers to extend reach to several kilometers.

3. Q: Is the TC-CCR013 suitable for hazardous areas (e.g., ATEX Zone 2)?

   A: The standard TC-CCR013 is designed for non-hazardous areas. For hazardous environments, contact Honeywell to confirm availability of ATEX/IECEx-certified variants, or install the module in an explosion-proof enclosure that meets local safety standards.

4. Q: Do I need additional software to configure the TC-CCR013?

   A: No. Configuration is done directly via Honeywell’s Experion PKS Control Builder software—no extra tools are required. Pre-built protocol templates and intuitive interfaces simplify setting parameters like IP addresses and data transmission rates.
