Honeywell TC-RPSCA2 Redundant Power Supply Chassis Adapter for C300

Product Overview

The Honeywell TC-RPSCA2 is a redundant power supply chassis adapter designed for the Experion C300 controller platform. It enables the integration of redundant power supply modules into the C300 chassis, providing dual power paths for high-availability process control applications where continuous operation is critical.

Key Specifications

• Function: Chassis adapter for redundant power supply integration
• System Compatibility: Honeywell Experion C300
• Redundancy: Dual power path support
• Mounting: C300 chassis-integrated

Features & Benefits

1. Dual Power Path Architecture: Supports two independent power supplies for automatic failover without process interruption.
2. Seamless Chassis Integration: Designed specifically for C300 mechanical and electrical specifications, ensuring plug-and-play compatibility.
3. Hot-Swappable Power Supplies: Allows replacement of a failed power supply while the redundant unit maintains full system operation.
4. Diagnostic Integration: Power status and fault alarms feed directly into the Experion diagnostic system for centralized monitoring.

FAQ

Q: Is the TC-RPSCA2 required for all C300 installations?
A: No, it is only required when redundant power is specified. Single-power C300 systems use standard non-redundant power entry.

Q: What power supplies are compatible with this adapter?
A: The adapter accepts Honeywell redundant power supply modules designed for the C300 platform. Verify specific power module part numbers in the system manual.

Q: Does the adapter provide power conditioning?
A: The TC-RPSCA2 provides mechanical mounting and electrical interconnection. Power conditioning is handled by the installed power supply modules.

Installation Guide

• Install the TC-RPSCA2 into the designated power adapter slot of the C300 chassis.
• Insert redundant power supply modules into the adapter's dual mounting positions.
• Connect independent AC or DC power feeds to each power supply.
• Verify power status LEDs on both supplies indicate normal operation.
• Test failover by de-energizing one supply and confirming the second maintains chassis power.

Selection Tips

• Availability Requirements: Specify the TC-RPSCA2 for SIL-rated or high-availability processes where power loss is unacceptable.
• Power Supply Matching: Always install two identical power supply modules (same part number and firmware revision) for symmetric redundancy.
• Cabinet Layout: Ensure adequate clearance behind the C300 chassis for redundant power cabling and ventilation.
