Honeywell CC-PFB801 51410087-175 Series C Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM8)

The Honeywell CC-PFB801 Series C Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM8) is a key component in industrial control systems, providing connectivity to FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 networks for Experion Process Knowledge Systems (PKS). This module is suited for both non-redundant and redundant configurations.

Key Features:

H1 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Connectivity: Supports up to 8 H1 networks, each operating at 31.25 kbps.
Device Capacity: Each H1 network can connect up to 16 Fieldbus devices, making it scalable for various industrial needs.
Configurable Macrocycle Periods: Supports multiple periods, including 250 ms, 500 ms, and up to 32 seconds, providing flexibility for process control applications.
Redundancy Options: The module supports side-by-side redundant configurations for increased reliability in critical applications.
Status Monitoring:
- On-Module Indicators: Includes LEDs for 24V Power, Module Status, and FTE Status.
- Carrier Board Indicators: Features 8 H1 Link Status LEDs (one per link) for clear network state visualization.
Front Display Panel: Provides real-time module and link state information, enhancing operational insights.

Upgrade Path:

The CC-PFB801 is part of Honeywell’s Experion® Process Knowledge Systems but has been succeeded by the CC-PFB802 for compatibility with systems operating revision R400 or later.

CC-PFB801 remains compatible with Experion servers at revision R400 or earlier.
New installations and future-proofing efforts should consider using the CC-PFB802 module.
