What is the difference between 8C-PCNT02 and 8C-PCNT01?

The 8C-PCNT02 is the current production revision and 8C-PCNT01 is the prior revision. Both are functionally equivalent and interoperable within the same C300 chassis.

Can I use 8C-PCNT02 as a direct replacement for 8C-PCNT01?

Yes. Honeywell designed these revisions to be drop-in compatible. No firmware or configuration changes are required in most Experion PKS environments.

Do you provide export documentation for international orders?

Yes. We provide commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of conformance. Additional documentation can be arranged upon request.

What is the lead time for this module?

Lead time depends on current stock levels. In-stock units typically ship within 3–5 business days after order confirmation.

Is this a new, used, or refurbished unit?

Condition is disclosed per listing. We clearly distinguish between new surplus, tested used, and factory-refurbished units.

Description

Honeywell 8C-PCNT02 / 8C-PCNT01 Process Controller Module – C300 Series for Experion PKS

When a C300 controller module fails in a continuous process plant—whether it’s a refinery, chemical reactor, or power generation unit—the consequences cascade instantly: process variables go uncontrolled, safety interlocks lose their logic backbone, and operators are left managing a live plant with no automation layer. Every minute of unplanned downtime translates directly into lost production, regulatory risk, and potential safety incidents. The Honeywell 8C-PCNT02 and 8C-PCNT01 are not optional components; they are the computational heart of the Experion PKS C300 controller chassis, and their availability is mission-critical.

Within the C300 family, the 8C-PCNT02 represents the current production revision of the process controller module, while the 8C-PCNT01 is its predecessor—both are fully interoperable within the same chassis and share the same firmware ecosystem. Together they occupy a dominant position in global DCS deployments: Honeywell’s Experion PKS platform is installed across thousands of facilities in oil & gas, refining, petrochemicals, pulp & paper, and power generation worldwide, making these modules among the most widely sourced spare parts in industrial automation procurement.
