Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0002 – Multi-Slot PLC Rack Chassis | Experion PKS Platform
Engineering Background: The FC-CPCHAS-0002 is a core structural and electrical backbone component within Honeywell’s Experion PKS (Process Knowledge System) distributed control architecture. Designed to house and interconnect C300 Controller modules and associated I/O interface cards, this chassis provides the high-integrity backplane bus required for deterministic process control in continuous and batch manufacturing environments.
Product Positioning: Procurement engineers sourcing replacement or expansion chassis for existing Experion PKS installations will find the FC-CPCHAS-0002 to be a direct, verified-compatible solution. Konmask.com maintains surplus and refurbished stock with full part-number traceability, supporting both emergency replacement and planned capital projects.

Engineering Advantages
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Designed exclusively for Honeywell Experion PKS — no adaptation or firmware modification required.
- Backplane Integrity: Rigid chassis construction minimizes vibration-induced connector wear in industrial cabinet environments.
- Scalable Architecture: Supports incremental I/O expansion without controller replacement.
- Reduced Downtime Risk: Stocking a spare FC-CPCHAS-0002 eliminates lead-time exposure on critical chassis failures.
- Long Service Life: Passive backplane design with no active components — inherently high MTBF.
System Architecture & Signal Flow
Within the Experion PKS cabinet, the FC-CPCHAS-0002 chassis mounts vertically or horizontally in a standard 19″ or DIN enclosure. The C300 Controller module occupies the primary slot and communicates with adjacent I/O Link Interface modules (IOLI) via the backplane bus. Field signals enter through I/O termination assemblies (FTAs), traverse the backplane, and are processed by the C300 for real-time control output. Redundant power feeds can be applied via dual power supply slots where chassis configuration permits.

Technical FAQ
- Q: Is FC-CPCHAS-0002 compatible with C200 controllers?
- A: No. This chassis is designed for the C300 controller series within Experion PKS R400 and later. C200 systems use a different chassis form factor.
- Q: Can I mix C300 and IOLI modules in the same chassis?
- A: Yes, subject to Honeywell’s slot assignment rules defined in the Experion PKS Hardware Planning Guide (document EP-DS-0001).
- Q: What power supply is required?
- A: Honeywell FC-PSU series power supply modules are required. Consult your system BOM for the correct PSU part number.
- Q: Do you provide warranty on surplus units?
- A: Konmask provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested surplus units. Extended warranty options available on request.
- Q: Can you source other Experion PKS components?
- A: Yes. Contact us with your full BOM and we will provide consolidated availability and pricing across all line items.
