Honeywell CC-PCNT01
Product Name: Honeywell CC-PCNT01 (Part No. 51405040-375 / 51405046-175) C300 Controller Processor
Product Introduction: The CC-PCNT01 is the core controller module of Honeywell’s Experion PKS C300 distributed control system. It serves as the “brain” of the DCS, running the deterministic Control Execution Environment (CEE) core software to execute control strategies, handle process data, and coordinate I/O modules.
Detailed content
Technical Specifications:
- Series: Experion PKS — C300 (Series C)
- Role: Controller processor running CEE (Control Execution Environment)
- Processor: Industrial-grade 32-bit RISC
- Firmware: CEE firmware aligned with Experion server versions (e.g., R500/R501)
- Network Interface: 2 native FTE (Fault Tolerant Ethernet) ports for redundant networking
- Built-in Switch: FTE switch with 8+1 ports
- Firewalls: 2 built-in firewalls protecting the L1 control environment
- Redundancy: Dual PCNT01 modules in the same rack CP slot for backplane redundancy synchronization (SR+MR memory mirroring)
- Local I/O: Connects to C-Series IOMs (PDIL/PDIS/PAIH/PAON/TUIO/PFB, etc.) via rack slots
- Remote I/O: Connects to Series 8 IOP via FTE network
- Power Supply: 24 VDC (C-Series dedicated power supply)
- Operating Temperature: 0 °C to +60 °C (inside cabinet)
- Certifications: CE / UL / TÜV
- Installation: Mounted on CC-TCNT01 IOTA baseplate
Functional Features: Runs deterministic CEE for PID/Sequence/Interlock/I/O scanning; built-in FTE switch with dual firewalls; supports broadcast storm suppression; optional fiber interfaces (single-mode 15 km / multi-mode 2 km); supports power-on and runtime self-diagnostics with fault indication.
Application Scenarios: Oil & gas, chemical, power, water treatment, and other process control industries requiring high reliability and redundancy.
Performance Parameters: Deterministic control execution; seamless redundant switching capability; the C300 natively supports FTE without needing an external CNI (unlike C200 which requires TK-CCR014).
Material Composition: Industrial control module hardware; country of origin: USA.
Structural Features: Modular design, inserted into C300 rack; upper-link information control isolates controller from upper-layer IP network traffic.
Working Principle: As the C300 control processor, it executes the CEE software to perform process control algorithms, scans local C-Series I/O and remote Series 8 I/O over FTE, and communicates with the Experion server. Redundancy is achieved by two PCNT01 modules synchronizing via the backplane.
Installation Requirements: Installed in the C300 controller rack, paired with a second PCNT01 for redundancy if required; mounted on CC-TCNT01 IOTA baseplate; requires 24 VDC power supply.
Usage Precautions: Ensure CEE firmware is aligned with the Experion server version. Unlike the SIS FC-QPP (2oo4D SIL3), the CC-PCNT01 is a DCS process controller, non-SIL. Properly configure FTE network topology (Red/Blue dual network).
