HONEYWELL CC-IP0101

Description

Product Description

HONEYWELL CC-IP0101 is an Industrial Processor (IP) module for the Honeywell Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), specifically part of the C Series hardware family. This module is not a peripheral I/O card but the central processing unit for a C200 Controllers. The primary function of the HONEYWELL CC-IP0101 is to execute the regulatory and logic control strategies configured in the Control Builder engineering software. It manages communication with its associated I/O modules (over the C-Series bus), performs control calculations, handles peer-to-peer communication with other controllers, and interfaces with the Experion enterprise network. The CC-IP0101 is the computational core that determines the performance, capacity, and capabilities of a control loop. For system engineers, selecting and maintaining the correct processor, such as the HONEYWELL CC-IP0101, is fundamental to the reliability and scalability of the entire DCS.

Product Parameters / Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: Honeywell
• System: Experion PKS (C Series Hardware)
• Functional Designation: Industrial Processor Module for C200 Controller
• Processor: Dedicated real-time processor for deterministic control execution.
• Memory: Contains both volatile (for running logic) and non-volatile (for storing application and firmware) memory.
• Communication Ports:
  • C-Series I/O Bus: For connecting to local or remote I/O carrier modules (e.g., CC-PCF901).
  • FTE/FTEb Ports: Fault Tolerant Ethernet ports for high-availability connection to the Experion control network, other controllers, and stations.
  • Serial Port(s): For legacy device integration or service access.
• Control Capacity: Capable of handling a defined number of function blocks, I/O points, and peer data exchanges, as specified in its performance profile.
• Redundancy: Designed to operate in a redundant (paired) configuration for high-availability applications. A pair of CC-IP0101 modules can be synchronized for bumpless failover.
• Configuration: Programmed exclusively with Honeywell’s Control Builder software. The application is stored in non-volatile memory.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Verify System Compatibility and Series: The HONEYWELL CC-IP0101 is specific to the C Series hardware. Confirm it is compatible with your existing system’s series and firmware revision. Using an incompatible processor can cause system failures.
2. Application Capacity Planning: Before selecting or replacing this module, ensure your control application (number of blocks, I/O points) does not exceed the performance capacity of the CC-IP0101. Check the controller utilization in Control Builder.
3. Firmware Version Management: The processor’s firmware version must be compatible with the version of Control Builder and the firmware on all connected I/O and communication modules. Mismatched firmware is a common source of issues.
4. Redundancy Configuration: If used in a redundant pair, both CC-IP0101 modules must be identical (same hardware series and firmware). Follow Honeywell’s precise procedures for installing and synchronizing redundant controllers.
5. Application Backup is Critical: Always have a current, verified backup of the controller’s application from Control Builder before performing any maintenance, replacement, or firmware update. The application is stored on the module.
6. Sourcing from Authorized Honeywell Channels: This is the brain of your control loop. Purchase the CC-IP0101 only from Honeywell or authorized distributors to guarantee authenticity, correct firmware, and full technical support. Counterfeit or used modules pose a significant risk to plant operations.
