Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
If the FC-CPCHAS-0003 is unavailable or you are evaluating alternatives, the following models may serve as functional equivalents or drop-in replacements depending on your system configuration. Always verify electrical and mechanical compatibility before substitution.
- Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0006 – 6-slot variant of the same ControlEdge chassis family; suitable when additional module slots are required
- Honeywell FC-CPCHAS-0012 – 12-slot expanded chassis for larger I/O configurations
- Honeywell CC-PCNT01 – ControlEdge compatible controller chassis (verify firmware compatibility)
- Siemens ET 200SP IM 155-6 PN – Third-party alternative for distributed I/O applications; requires engineering re-mapping
- Allen-Bradley 1756-A4 ControlLogix 4-Slot Chassis – Cross-brand alternative for new system designs; not a direct drop-in replacement
Note: Cross-brand replacements require full system re-engineering. Contact Konmask.com for selection assistance.

System Compatibility
The FC-CPCHAS-0003 is designed to operate within the Honeywell ControlEdge PLC ecosystem. Compatible components include:
- Honeywell ControlEdge CPU modules (FC-CPU series)
- Honeywell ControlEdge I/O modules (FC-SDO, FC-SDI, FC-SAI, FC-SAO series)
- Honeywell ControlEdge communication modules (PROFIBUS, Modbus, EtherNet/IP)
- Honeywell ControlEdge Power Supply modules
- Honeywell Experion PKS R500+ (software integration)
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to confirm the FC-CPCHAS-0003 is the right chassis for your application:
- Slot count needed: If your design requires 3 or fewer module slots, FC-CPCHAS-0003 is the correct choice. For 4–6 slots, consider FC-CPCHAS-0006.
- System platform: Must be a Honeywell ControlEdge PLC system. Not compatible with Experion C300 or Safety Manager platforms.
- Environment: Confirm operating temperature range (0–60°C) and enclosure IP rating meet site requirements.
- Redundancy: For redundant CPU configurations, verify chassis supports dual-CPU module mounting.
- Power budget: Calculate total module power draw to ensure PSU module is adequately rated.

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can FC-CPCHAS-0006 replace FC-CPCHAS-0003?
A: Yes, the 6-slot chassis is backward compatible and can host the same modules, but it is physically larger. Confirm panel space before substituting.
Q: Is FC-CPCHAS-0003 compatible with Honeywell Safety Manager?
A: No. The FC-CPCHAS series is specific to the ControlEdge PLC platform and is not interchangeable with Safety Manager hardware.
Q: Can I use third-party I/O modules in this chassis?
A: No. The ControlEdge backplane uses a proprietary protocol. Only Honeywell-certified ControlEdge modules are supported.
Q: What is the lead time for FC-CPCHAS-0003?
A: Typically 3–7 business days for in-stock units. Contact us for current availability.
Q: Do you provide a certificate of conformance?
A: Yes, upon request for qualified orders.
