Product Overview

The Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0002 serves as the structural and electronic foundation for the Safety Manager SC (S300 IOTA) system. This 2-slot Controller Processor Chassis houses redundant processor modules, providing the essential high-speed backplane communication and 24 VDC power distribution required for safety-critical logic. Designed for high-availability environments, it ensures that your safety instrumented system (SIS) maintains continuous operation even during individual module maintenance. We provide this unit as 100% Brand New and Original, manufactured in the USA to meet global SIL3 safety standards.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Fault-Tolerant Redundancy Path: The FC-CPCHAS-0002 specifically accommodates two controller modules to create a redundant processor pair. This architecture eliminates single points of failure in the logic solver, allowing the safety system to remain active if one processor requires a hot-swap or firmware update.

• High-Speed Deterministic Backplane: The integrated system bus facilitates instantaneous data exchange between processors and I/O subsystems. This low-latency communication ensures that the system meets required "Safety Time" limits for emergency shutdown (ESD) applications.

• Enhanced Electrical Isolation: Each slot features robust electrical isolation, protecting the central processing units from field-side transients or power surges. This design maintains signal integrity and prevents fault propagation across the backplane.

• Extreme Environmental Hardening: Engineered with a wide operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), this chassis withstands the thermal fluctuations common in remote instrument enclosures (RIE). The IP20-rated housing provides the necessary protection for cabinet-based industrial installations.

• Streamlined Maintenance Logic: The chassis supports full hot-swapping of processor modules. Technicians can replace a faulty controller without de-energizing the rack, significantly reducing Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) and preventing process downtime.

FAQs

• Does the FC-CPCHAS-0002 include the processor modules?

  No, the FC-CPCHAS-0002 is the mechanical and electronic backplane chassis. You must purchase the Safety Manager SC processor modules separately to complete the assembly.

• Is this chassis compatible with older Safety Manager (non-SC) hardware?

  The FC-CPCHAS-0002 is specifically designed for the Safety Manager SC (S300 IOTA) series. We recommend verifying your specific system architecture before integrating with legacy Safety Manager components.

• How do I handle the power input for this rack?

  The chassis distributes 24 VDC power to the mounted modules through its internal backplane. You should connect high-integrity, redundant power supplies to the chassis input terminals to maintain SIL3 compliance.

• What is the condition of this unit?

  We guarantee that this FC-CPCHAS-0002 is 100% Brand New and Original Honeywell stock in its factory packaging. It comes with a full factory warranty and a certificate of origin from the USA.
