DCS Process Control Solution – Honeywell FC-IOCHAS-0003R | Experion PKS Series
Where This Product Is Used
The Honeywell FC-IOCHAS-0003R is a 3-slot I/O Chassis designed for use within Honeywell Experion PKS (Process Knowledge System) distributed control system architectures. It serves as the physical mounting and backplane interconnect for Series C I/O modules in demanding industrial environments including:
- Oil & Gas – Upstream wellhead automation, midstream pipeline SCADA, downstream refinery DCS loops
- Petrochemical & Chemical Plants – Reactor temperature/pressure control, batch process sequencing
- Power Generation – Turbine control panels, boiler management systems, substation automation
- Pulp & Paper / Water Treatment – Continuous process monitoring with high-channel-density I/O expansion
- Pharmaceutical Manufacturing – FDA-regulated batch control requiring validated DCS hardware
Engineers specify this chassis when expanding or replacing I/O capacity in existing Experion PKS cabinets without redesigning the control architecture.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Drop-in Compatibility – Directly replaces or expands existing FC-IOCHAS chassis in live Experion PKS cabinets with no controller reconfiguration
- Compact 3-Slot Footprint – Ideal for space-constrained marshalling cabinets where a full 8- or 12-slot chassis is impractical
- Redundancy-Ready – Supports redundant I/O module configurations when paired with compatible FIM and IOLINK cabling
- Long Service Life – Honeywell Experion PKS hardware is designed for 20+ year plant lifecycles; sourcing spare chassis is critical for brownfield maintenance
- Reduced Downtime Risk – Having a verified spare on-site eliminates multi-week lead times during unplanned outages

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Is the FC-IOCHAS-0003R compatible with Experion PKS R500 and later releases?
A: Yes. The Series C I/O chassis is supported across Experion PKS R400 through current releases. Confirm your FIM firmware version with Honeywell TAC for R500+ deployments.
Q: Can I mix Series C and Series A/B modules in the same chassis?
A: No. The FC-IOCHAS-0003R is designed exclusively for Series C I/O modules. Mixing generations is not supported and may cause communication faults.
Q: What is the maximum number of chassis per FIM?
A: A single FIM supports up to 40 I/O modules across multiple chassis, subject to IOLINK segment loading rules. Consult Honeywell’s I/O Link design guide for your specific topology.
Q: Do you provide warranty on surplus units?
A: Yes. Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all tested surplus hardware. Extended warranty options are available — contact us for details.
Q: Can you supply the full Experion PKS cabinet build?
A: Yes. We specialize in complete BOM sourcing for DCS expansion and replacement projects. Send your BOM to support@konmask.com for a consolidated quote.
