Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0001 Control Rack Chassis

Product Overview

The Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0001 is a dedicated Control Processor Chassis designed for Honeywell Safety Manager systems. It houses Control Processor (CP) modules and provides the physical backbone for redundant or non-redundant safety controller configurations. Engineered for high-integrity industrial environments, this chassis ensures organized module placement, reliable backplane connectivity, and efficient cable management for mission-critical safety instrumented systems (SIS).

Key Features

• 19-Inch Rack Mount: Standard 482.6 mm (19 in) width for seamless cabinet integration
• Redundancy Support: Accommodates both redundant and non-redundant Control Processor modules
• Robust Construction: Rugged steel/aluminum housing with magnetically locked back cover plate
• Front Module Insertion: Module guides and quarter-turn fasteners for secure, tool-free installation
• Integrated Cable Management: Three horizontal tie-wrap bars (24V supply, communication, 5V/Watchdog)
• Backplane Connectivity: Front connectors for CP modules, back connectors for signal I/O
• Keying Pins: Ensure correct module insertion and grounding integrity

Installation Guide

1. Positioning: Install at the top of the Safety Manager cabinet, with I/O chassis below for optimal connectivity
2. Rack Mounting: Secure to standard 19-inch rails using provided fasteners
3. Grounding: Ensure proper chassis grounding via keying pins before module insertion
4. Cable Routing: Use the three rear tie-wrap bars:
   • Top bar: 24V-supply and 24V-signal wires
   • Middle bar: Communication cables
   • Bottom bar: 5V and Watchdog cables (WdPx and 5V-x)
5. Module Insertion: Slide CP modules into guides until flush; fasten quarter-turn screws

FAQ

Q: Does this chassis support redundant processor configurations?
A: Yes. The FC-CPCHAS-0001 supports both dual-redundant and QMR (Quadruple Modular Redundant) configurations.

Q: Which modules can be installed?
A: Control Processor modules (e.g., FC-CP01), power supply modules, and communication modules. I/O modules are housed in separate I/O chassis.

Q: What is the difference between FC-CPCHAS-0001 and FS-CPCHAS-0001?
A: They are functionally identical. "FC-" and "FS-" prefixes denote different manufacturing batches or regional variants within the same product family.

Selection Tips

• Pair with FC-IOCHAS-0001S (non-redundant) or FC-IOCHAS-0001R (redundant) I/O chassis for complete system architecture
• Verify cabinet depth (≥280 mm) before ordering to ensure proper fit
• For SIL 3 applications, always use redundant CP modules within this chassis
