Honeywell 51402755-100 K4LCN-4 — Local Control Network Processor Card | TDC 3000 LCN Platform
Engineering Background
The Honeywell TDC 3000 (Total Distributed Control) system has been a cornerstone of process automation in refining, petrochemical, and power generation industries since its introduction. The Local Control Network (LCN) serves as the high-speed backbone interconnecting all intelligent nodes within the TDC 3000 architecture. The 51402755-100 K4LCN-4 Processor Card is the dedicated CPU module for LCN nodes, providing the computational core that manages real-time data acquisition, control execution, and peer-to-peer communication across the network.
Product Positioning
Designed for procurement engineers and maintenance teams responsible for sustaining legacy TDC 3000 installations, this processor card is a direct replacement or spare for aging LCN node CPUs. Konmask.com sources, inspects, and supplies this module to industrial facilities worldwide, ensuring continuity of critical process control operations without the risk of unplanned downtime.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the TDC 3000 LCN architecture, the K4LCN-4 processor card occupies the CPU slot of an LCN node chassis. It interfaces directly with the LCN coaxial highway via the node’s Network Interface Module (NIM), executing peer-to-peer data exchange at the LCN protocol layer. The processor manages all local control algorithms, database transactions, and operator display data for its assigned node. Redundant node configurations pair two K4LCN-4 cards in primary/backup roles, with automatic failover managed at the LCN protocol level — no operator intervention required during switchover.
Signal flow: Field I/O → IOP/FTA → UCN/LCN Gateway → LCN Highway → K4LCN-4 Processor → Application Module (AM) / History Module (HM) → Operator Console (US/GUS)

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 51402755-100 compatible with both TDC 3000 and TPS (TotalPlant Solution) systems?
A: Yes. The K4LCN-4 processor card operates in both TDC 3000 and TPS LCN node chassis, as TPS is the evolved successor platform sharing the same LCN hardware architecture.
Q: Can this card be used in a redundant node configuration?
A: Yes. Two K4LCN-4 cards can be installed in a redundant node chassis. The LCN protocol manages primary/backup switchover automatically.
Q: What is the difference between the K4LCN-4 and earlier K2LCN or K4LCN variants?
A: The K4LCN-4 represents a later processor generation with enhanced memory capacity and improved LCN communication throughput compared to K2LCN-series cards. Always verify your node’s firmware and chassis revision before substituting processor generations.
Q: Do you provide a test report with the unit?
A: Yes. A functional test report is included with every shipment. Additional third-party inspection or FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) can be arranged upon request.
Q: What is the lead time for emergency orders?
A: In-stock units ship within 24 hours of order confirmation. Contact us directly for emergency freight options including same-day dispatch where available.
Q: Can you supply multiple units for a plant-wide spare parts program?
A: Yes. Konmask maintains inventory depth for volume procurement. Contact us for blanket order arrangements and preferred supplier agreements.
