Redundant ControlNet Module TC-CCR013 Honeywell

Product Description

The TC-CCR013 (Part Number: TC-CCR013) is a redundant ControlNet communication interface module engineered for the Honeywell Experion PKS Series C platform. Designed to operate with C300 controllers, this module enables deterministic, real-time data exchange across ControlNet networks used in mission-critical process control systems.

A defining feature of the TC-CCR013 is its dual-media architecture, combining copper (twisted-pair) and fiber-optic connectivity within a single module. This hybrid design allows engineers to balance short-range cabinet wiring with long-distance or high-noise plant connections, ensuring reliable communication in electrically harsh industrial environments.

Built for high availability, the TC-CCR013 supports redundant network operation with automatic failover, maintaining continuous data flow if one communication path becomes unavailable. Integrated diagnostics and industrial certifications make it well-suited for continuous-duty applications in offshore platforms, refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities.

Technical Specifications

Application Scenarios

• Connecting C300 controllers to remote ControlNet I/O racks over fiber-optic links

• Implementing redundant ControlNet paths in high-EMI environments

• Deploying ControlNet networks in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations

• Modernizing or extending legacy ControlNet infrastructures within Experion PKS systems

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the TC-CCR013 use two different media types?
The dual-media design provides flexibility. The DB9 copper port is ideal for short, local cabinet connections, while the fiber-optic port supports long distances and offers immunity to electromagnetic interference, enabling reliable communication across diverse plant environments.

Is the TC-CCR013 hot-swappable?
Yes. When installed as part of a redundant Series C configuration, the TC-CCR013 can be replaced online without interrupting controller operation or ControlNet communications, provided the secondary path remains active.
