Honeywell FC-IOCHAS-0001R Redundant I/O Chassis – Experion Process Knowledge System Series
In a continuous process plant — whether a refinery, chemical reactor, or power generation facility — an unexpected I/O module failure without redundancy can cascade into unplanned shutdowns, product loss, and safety incidents. The structural backbone that prevents this scenario is the I/O chassis itself. Without a properly rated, redundancy-capable chassis like the Honeywell FC-IOCHAS-0001R, even the most advanced control modules cannot deliver the fault-tolerant performance that modern industrial operations demand.
The FC-IOCHAS-0001R is Honeywell’s dedicated chassis designed to support redundant I/O module configurations within the Experion PKS (Process Knowledge System) platform — one of the world’s most widely deployed Distributed Control Systems in oil & gas, refining, and specialty chemical industries. This chassis provides the physical and electrical infrastructure for hot-standby I/O redundancy, enabling seamless switchover without process interruption. Its position in the Experion ecosystem makes it a critical procurement item for both greenfield DCS installations and brownfield system expansions.
