Product Description
The Honeywell CC-PFB801 51410087-175 Series C Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM8) provides advanced FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 connectivity for Experion Process Knowledge Systems (PKS). It supports communication between controllers and up to eight independent H1 networks, each operating at 31.25 kbps. Moreover, its modular architecture enables both non-redundant and redundant configurations, offering exceptional flexibility in distributed control system (DCS) designs.
This interface module is ideal for process industries where high network reliability and diagnostics are crucial. In addition, the front display panel and LED indicators provide real-time operational insight, ensuring simplified monitoring and maintenance.
Functional Highlights
- Multi-Network Support: Manages up to 8 H1 Fieldbus networks, each connecting up to 16 devices.
- Configurable Macrocycle Periods: Adjustable from 250 ms to 32 seconds for flexible process timing.
- Redundancy Ready: Operates in side-by-side redundant configurations to improve system availability.
- Integrated Diagnostics: Includes status LEDs for 24V Power, Module State, and FTE Communication.
- Scalable Design: Enables incremental system growth without complex rewiring or configuration changes.
- Upgrade Path: Fully compatible with Experion PKS systems at revision R400 or earlier, with upgrade options to the CC-PFB802 module for later revisions.
