Honeywell CC-PWRB01 – Power Supply Backplane Module | Experion PKS C300 DCS Platform
Engineering Background
The Honeywell CC-PWRB01 is a dedicated power supply backplane module engineered for the Experion PKS (Process Knowledge System) platform, specifically designed to support the C300 Controller chassis architecture. As a critical infrastructure component within Honeywell’s flagship DCS ecosystem, this module provides the regulated DC power distribution backbone that ensures uninterrupted operation of field I/O modules, communication cards, and controller assemblies in mission-critical process environments.
Product Positioning
Targeted at procurement engineers and automation specialists managing refinery, petrochemical, power generation, and advanced manufacturing facilities, the CC-PWRB01 represents Honeywell’s commitment to high-availability process control. Its backplane architecture eliminates point-to-point wiring complexity while delivering clean, conditioned power across the entire C300 chassis rail — a design philosophy that directly reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) and supports IEC 61511 functional safety compliance frameworks.

Engineering Advantages
- Backplane Power Architecture: Eliminates individual module wiring; single-point power entry distributes across all chassis slots via low-impedance bus bars — reducing installation time by up to 40% versus discrete wiring approaches.
- Redundant PSU Support: Native 1+1 redundancy with automatic, bumpless switchover — zero process interruption during power supply failure events.
- Hot-Swap Capability: Designed for live replacement within the Experion PKS chassis without requiring controller shutdown or process interruption.
- EMI/RFI Filtering: Integrated filtering on all output rails suppresses conducted noise below IEC 61000-4 thresholds — critical for analog I/O accuracy in noisy industrial environments.
- Thermal Management: Convection-cooled design with no moving parts; rated for continuous operation at 60°C ambient without derating.
- Long Product Lifecycle: Honeywell Experion PKS platform carries a published 20-year lifecycle commitment — ensuring long-term spare parts availability and engineering support.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the Experion PKS C300 chassis, the CC-PWRB01 occupies the dedicated power slot and interfaces directly with the chassis backplane bus. AC or DC input power enters via the external PSU (e.g., CC-PWR001 or CC-PWR002), which feeds regulated 24 VDC to the CC-PWRB01 backplane module. The backplane then distributes conditioned 5 VDC logic power and 24 VDC field power across all populated I/O module slots. The C300 Controller communicates with I/O modules via the FTE (Fault Tolerant Ethernet) backplane protocol, with the CC-PWRB01 providing the physical power layer that underpins this communication architecture.
Typical chassis configuration: CC-PWRB01 (power backplane) + CC-PWR001/002 (external PSU) + C300 Controller + IOTA I/O modules (CC-TDIL01, CC-TDOB01, CC-TAIX01, etc.)

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the CC-PWRB01 compatible with Experion PKS R500 and later releases?
A: Yes. The CC-PWRB01 backplane module is hardware-compatible across Experion PKS R400 through R500+ releases. Firmware compatibility should be verified against your specific system revision — contact our technical team for confirmation.
Q: Can the CC-PWRB01 operate with a single PSU (non-redundant)?
A: Yes. The module supports both single and redundant PSU configurations. Single-PSU operation is fully functional; redundancy is an optional enhancement for high-availability applications.
