Honeywell 51305980-260 – Fieldbus Interface Module | TDC 3000 / Experion PKS
Engineering Background
The Honeywell 51305980-260 is a Fieldbus Interface Module (FIM) designed for integration within Honeywell’s TDC 3000 and Experion PKS distributed control system (DCS) platforms. It serves as the critical communication bridge between field-level FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 devices and the process control network, enabling deterministic, high-integrity data exchange in demanding industrial environments.
Product Positioning
Targeted at process automation engineers and control system integrators managing legacy TDC 3000 upgrades or Experion PKS expansions, the 51305980-260 provides a proven, OEM-sourced solution for fieldbus segment management. It is the preferred choice for refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities requiring long-term platform continuity and certified interoperability.

Engineering Advantages
- Deterministic FF-H1 Communication: Ensures time-critical process data integrity across all connected field devices on each segment.
- Multi-Segment Architecture: Supports up to 4 independent H1 segments per module, reducing cabinet footprint and wiring complexity.
- Hot-Swap Capable: Designed for live insertion/removal within the TDC 3000 / Experion PKS chassis, minimizing planned downtime.
- Backward Compatibility: Fully interoperable with existing TDC 3000 UCN/LCN infrastructure and Experion PKS R400+ software releases.
- Integrated Diagnostics: Onboard LED status indicators and software-accessible diagnostic registers for rapid fault isolation.
- OEM Quality: Manufactured to Honeywell’s stringent industrial-grade quality standards with full traceability.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 51305980-260 FIM resides in the Honeywell I/O chassis and interfaces directly with the Controller (C200/C300) via the backplane bus. Each H1 segment port connects to a field junction box or segment coupler, from which up to 16 FF-H1 field devices (transmitters, valve positioners, analyzers) can be addressed. The module handles link scheduling, publisher/subscriber management, and alarm/event buffering, offloading communication overhead from the main controller CPU. Configuration and diagnostics are managed through Honeywell’s Control Builder or Station software.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 51305980-260 compatible with Experion PKS R500 and later?
A: Compatibility depends on the specific Experion release and chassis generation. Please contact our team with your system version for a definitive cross-reference check.
Q: Can this module replace the 51305980-250 or other FIM variants?
A: The -260 suffix denotes a specific hardware revision. Direct substitution with other suffixes requires engineering review. We recommend consulting the Honeywell FIM compatibility matrix or contacting us for guidance.
Q: What is the maximum number of field devices per H1 segment?
A: FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 supports up to 16 devices per segment under standard conditions; actual limits depend on power budget, cable length, and device current draw.
Q: Do you provide export documentation for customs clearance?
A: Yes. We provide commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin. HS Code 8537.10 applies for most jurisdictions. ECCN classification available on request.
Q: Is firmware upgrade support available?
A: Firmware updates for Honeywell FIM modules are managed through the Honeywell support portal. We can advise on current firmware versions available for the 51305980-260.
