CC-PCNT01 HONEYWELL

The CC-PCNT01 is part of the Honeywell Series C family, sharing the unique vertical, space-saving form factor. It consists of printed circuit assemblies and diagnostic displays housed in a protective plastic enclosure. The module does not wire directly to field devices; instead, it mounts onto an Input Output Termination Assembly (IOTA), which provides the physical connection points for power and communication networks. It operates using the Control Execution Environment (CEE) software, which ensures that control tasks are executed with precise timing.

Product Parameters

• Module Type: C300 Controller Module

• Power Supply Rating: $24 \text{ VDC}$

• Current Consumption: Approximately $0.311 \text{ A}$ (typical $320 \text{ mA}$)

• Operating Temperature: $0^\circ\text{C}$ to $+60^\circ\text{C}$

• Control Execution Period: Supports $50 \text{ ms}$ (standard) and $20 \text{ ms}$ (optional for specific applications like turbine control)

• Communication Support: Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) and Series C I/O Links

• Redundancy: Fully supports dual-redundancy for high-availability mission-critical systems

• Time Synchronization: Supports SNTP and PTPv2 protocols

• Weight: Approximately $0.48 \text{ kg}$ ($1.1 \text{ lb}$)

• Dimensions: Approximately $6.8 \text{ cm} \times 16.2 \text{ cm} \times 16.5 \text{ cm}$

Product Advantages

• Deterministic Performance: The use of the CEE software ensures that control loops are executed at fixed, predictable intervals, which is vital for maintaining process stability.

• Fault Tolerance: Through its support of Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE), the module maintains communication even if one network path fails, providing industrial-grade reliability.

• Compact Design: The Series C vertical mounting reduces the footprint in control cabinets, allowing for higher density and lower installation costs.

• Hot-Swappable: In redundant configurations, a failed module can be replaced while the system is live without interrupting the process, significantly reducing downtime.

• Seamless Integration: It integrates natively with other Experion PKS components, providing a unified environment for configuration, diagnostics, and asset management.

Important Considerations

• IOTA Requirement: The module must be paired with the correct IOTA (Input Output Termination Assembly) for proper mounting and electrical connection.

• Disconnection Safety: Never remove or install the module in a hazardous area unless power has been disconnected or the area is known to be non-hazardous.

• Electrostatic Discharge (ESD): This module contains sensitive electronic components. Use proper grounding straps and handling procedures to avoid ESD damage during installation or maintenance.

• Firmware Compatibility: Ensure that the module firmware is compatible with the Experion PKS software version running on the server to prevent communication errors or logic failures.

• Replacement Note: For newer systems requiring expanded memory or performance, the CC-PCNT02 is the direct successor and fully compatible replacement for the CC-PCNT01.

Product Applications

The CC-PCNT01 is widely used in industries where continuous process control and high reliability are mandatory.

• Oil and Gas: Used in refineries and offshore platforms for managing complex distillation, separation, and safety shutdown processes.

• Chemical Processing: Controls reactor temperatures, pressures, and flow rates in pharmaceutical and specialty chemical plants.

• Power Generation: Employed in power plants for boiler control, turbine management, and auxiliary system automation.

• Water and Wastewater: Manages large-scale treatment facilities, ensuring precise chemical dosing and flow management.

• Pulp and Paper: Coordinates high-speed machinery and chemical recovery cycles in large-scale manufacturing.
