The Honeywell FC-IOCHAS-0001R is a 19-inch rack-mounted chassis engineered to house dual redundant I/O modules, delivering fail-safe operation in critical industrial automation systems. Its modular design supports up to 9 pairs of redundant I/O modules, enabling seamless failover during module malfunctions and minimizing downtime. The chassis features dual power inputs and hot-swap capabilities, ensuring continuous operation during maintenance. Built with a durable steel enclosure and IP65-rated protection, it withstands dust, moisture, and vibrations in harsh environments. Ideal for SIL3-rated safety applications, it integrates with Honeywell’s Safety Manager and Experion PKS systems, providing real-time monitoring and control for process industries such as oil & gas, power generation, and chemical manufacturing.
Designed with 21 slots (18 for I/O modules), the FC-IOCHAS-0001R allows flexible configuration for analog, digital, and discrete signal processing. Odd-numbered slots connect to Control Processor 1, while even-numbered slots link to Control Processor 2, ensuring dual-channel redundancy. The chassis supports high-speed data transfer via Honeywell’s IO-Bus and flat cable interfaces, enabling rapid communication between modules and controllers. Weighing 3 kg with dimensions of 430 × 280 × 80 mm, it balances compactness with robust performance. Equipped with EMI/RFI shielding and surge protection, it maintains signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Backed by CE, UL, and RoHS certifications, it adheres to global safety and environmental standards.
The FC-IOCHAS-0001R is optimized for Honeywell’s Safety Manager ecosystem, supporting seamless integration with Experion LS and FSC systems. Its modular architecture allows easy expansion, making it suitable for small-scale processes or large-scale industrial complexes. The chassis includes LED indicators for real-time status monitoring and a hinged front cover for simplified cable management. With a 1-year warranty and Honeywell’s technical support, it offers long-term reliability for applications like burner management, emergency shutdown systems, and turbine safeguarding. Compatible with a wide range of Honeywell I/O modules, it ensures compatibility with legacy and modern automation frameworks, delivering cost-effective solutions for smart factory and critical infrastructure projects.
