HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001

Description

HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 is a chassis or baseplate unit for the Honeywell ControlEdge PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) series. The CPB-0001 (likely the baseplate) and CPCHAS-0001 (likely the chassis) together form the foundational mounting and backplane assembly into which the PLC’s power supply, CPU, and I/O modules are installed. This assembly from Honeywell provides the physical structure, electrical connectivity, and communication backbone for a robust and modular control system. Detailed information can be found on the product page: HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001. The reliability and design of the HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 chassis are critical for the stable operation of the entire PLC rack.

Product Description

The HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 assembly is the core mechanical and electrical framework for a ControlEdge PLC station. The CPCHAS-0001 is likely the metal enclosure or chassis that provides slots for modules and houses the backplane. The CPB-0001 is likely the mounting baseplate or rail kit used to secure the chassis to a panel or DIN rail. The integrated backplane within the chassis contains the data and power buses that allow the CPU to communicate with all installed I/O, communication, and specialty modules seamlessly. This assembly ensures proper alignment, secure connections, and heat dissipation for all components. The HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 is the first component selected when designing a new ControlEdge PLC node, defining the physical size and expansion capacity of the controller.

Product Parameters

• Brand and Manufacturer: HONEYWELL.
• Product Series: ControlEdge PLC (formerly under the ControlEdge brand, now part of Honeywell’s Experion offering).
• Product Type: PLC Chassis and Baseplate Assembly.
• Number of Slots: The specific chassis model (CPCHAS-0001) defines the total number of available slots for modules (e.g., 4, 8, 12 slots). This determines system expandability.
• Backplane Communication: Features a high-speed proprietary or standards-based backplane bus (e.g., PCI, ISA, or a Honeywell-specific bus) for module-to-CPU data exchange.
• Power Distribution: Distributes power from the system power supply module to all slots via the backplane.
• Mounting: Designed for secure mounting on a standard DIN rail or panel via the included baseplate (CPB-0001).
• Construction: Robust metal construction for EMI shielding, mechanical strength, and heat dissipation.
• Compatibility: Designed specifically for the form factor and connectors of the ControlEdge PLC series modules.

Advantages and Features

The key advantage of the HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 is its role as the validated and guaranteed foundation for a high-availability control system. It ensures perfect electrical and mechanical compatibility between all Honeywell ControlEdge PLC components. The chassis design typically supports hot-swapping of I/O modules in many configurations, allowing for maintenance and expansion without process shutdown. Its robust construction provides excellent immunity to vibration and electrical noise, which is essential in industrial environments. The modular nature, starting with this chassis assembly, allows for easy system configuration and future scalability. Using the official HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 eliminates integration risks and ensures system integrity and support.

Application Cases in Various Fields

• Process Skid Control: Forming the main PLC rack for controlling a packaged compressor, pump, or generator skid in oil & gas or power generation.
• Water/Wastewater Treatment: Serving as the central controller chassis for a filtration, chemical dosing, or clarifier control panel.
• Hybrid/Batch Process Control: Acting as the equipment-level controller (ELC) within a larger DCS like Experion, managing a specific unit operation.
• Manufacturing Machine Control: Providing the modular PLC platform for a custom machine tool, assembly robot, or packaging line.
• Infrastructure Monitoring: Housing the PLC for monitoring and controlling HVAC, fire, and security systems in a large building or campus.

Comparison with Competing Products

Compared to chassis units for other mid-to-high-end PLCs like Siemens SIMATIC S7-1500, Rockwell Automation ControlLogix, or Schneider Electric Modicon M580, the HONEYWELL CPB-0001 CPCHAS-0001 is optimized for integration within Honeywell’s ecosystem, particularly for process applications. While competitors’ chassis offer similar modularity and robustness, the Honeywell chassis is often chosen for projects where seamless integration with Honeywell’s Experion DCS, safety systems, or legacy SCAN 3000/ControlEdge networks is a requirement. Its design prioritizes reliability and hot-swap capabilities common in continuous process industries.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Determine Slot Capacity: Carefully plan the number of I/O, communication, and special modules required, including spares for future expansion. Select the CPCHAS-0001 chassis with sufficient slots.
2. Verify Complete Part Number: Ensure you have the correct combination of CPB-0001 (base) and CPCHAS-0001 (chassis) as specified in the system’s hardware configuration guide. They may be sold as a kit or separately.
3. Plan for Power Supply: Remember that the chassis itself requires a compatible Honeywell ControlEdge power supply module to be installed in one of the slots to provide power to the backplane and modules.
4. Follow Mounting Instructions: Secure the baseplate and chassis firmly according to specifications to prevent vibration-related issues. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling and module insertion/removal.
5. Handle with Care: The backplane connectors are sensitive. Handle the chassis carefully to avoid damaging the pins. Install modules evenly and firmly.
