Product Description

Overview

The Honeywell CC-PCNT02 (Part Number 51454551-275) is a high-performance C300 Control Processor for the Experion PKS Series C platform. It functions as the central processing unit of the distributed control system, executing control strategies, coordinating I/O modules, and enabling high-speed peer-to-peer communication. Designed for continuous industrial processes, it supports deterministic, real-time execution of control blocks with high precision and reliability.

Key Features

Advanced Control Execution

• Deterministic Cycle Times: Configurable execution cycles (50 ms, 100 ms, 250 ms) for precise loop closure and minimal jitter.

• High Function Block Capacity: Handles thousands of function blocks including PID loops, advanced regulatory control (ARC), and batch control sequences.

• Real-Time Control Environment: Uses the Control Execution Environment (CEE) to synchronize strategy execution across multiple controllers.

Robust Communication & Integration

• Dual Redundant Ethernet (FTE): Fault-tolerant network ports ensure uninterrupted communication.

• Peer-to-Peer Messaging: Optimized for rapid data exchange between C300 controllers and Experion nodes.

• Secure Network Connectivity: Integrates through CC-PCF901 for controlled segmentation of control and safety networks.

High Availability & Reliability

• Redundant Operation: Supports 1-to-1 redundant pairs, allowing seamless failover with less than one scan cycle interruption.

• Industrial Hardening: Conformal G3 coating and fanless design provide protection against corrosive environments and maximize reliability.

• Compact & Flexible Mounting: Compatible with Series C IOTA assemblies for DIN rail or panel installation.

Technical Specifications

Primary Applications

• Continuous Process Control: Widely used in Oil & Gas, Refining, Chemical, and Power industries.

• Experion PKS Integration: Central node for Series C I/O coordination and operator interface communication.

• Batch and Recipe Management: Executes complex sequences in pharmaceuticals, food, and beverage processes.

• Legacy System Upgrade: Fully compatible as a replacement for CC-PCNT01 controllers.
