Compatible Replacement & Equivalent Models
When the SC-UMIX01 is unavailable or under evaluation, the following models may serve as functional replacements or equivalents depending on system configuration:
- SC-UMIX02 – Next-generation universal controller; direct functional upgrade, same backplane
- CC-PCNT01 – Experion PKS C300 Controller; compatible in Series C chassis with firmware alignment
- CC-PCNT02 – Enhanced C300 variant with expanded memory; drop-in for most SC-UMIX01 applications
- 51304485-150 – Legacy Honeywell HC900 controller; suitable for smaller-scale redundant loops
- Emerson DeltaV MD Plus – Cross-brand alternative for greenfield DCS projects requiring redundancy
Note: Always verify firmware version, backplane revision, and I/O module compatibility before substitution. Contact Konmask for pre-sales compatibility verification.

- Chassis: Series C Universal I/O Chassis (SC-series backplane)
- Network: FTE (Fault Tolerant Ethernet) – dual-ring topology
- Engineering Tools: Experion PKS Control Builder, Configuration Studio
- I/O Modules: Compatible with SC-series Universal I/O modules (HART, AI, AO, DI, DO)
- Redundancy Pair: Requires two SC-UMIX01 units for full redundant configuration
Selection Guide
Use the following criteria to determine whether the SC-UMIX01 is the right controller for your project:
- Existing Experion PKS site? → SC-UMIX01 is the native, lowest-risk choice
- Redundancy required? → SC-UMIX01 supports hot-standby; pair two units per chassis
- Large I/O count (>10,000 points)? → SC-UMIX01 scales efficiently within Experion PKS architecture
- Budget-constrained retrofit? → Evaluate CC-PCNT01/02 with firmware compatibility check
- Greenfield project? → Consider SC-UMIX02 for latest feature set and extended support lifecycle
- SIL-rated application? → Confirm SIS configuration with Honeywell or authorized integrator

Replacement & Compatibility FAQ
Q: Can SC-UMIX01 replace CC-PCNT01 directly?
A: Functionally similar, but backplane and firmware compatibility must be verified. Contact us for a site-specific assessment.
Q: Is SC-UMIX01 compatible with Experion PKS R310?
A: R400 and above is recommended. R310 compatibility depends on firmware revision – consult Honeywell release notes.
Q: Do I need two SC-UMIX01 units for redundancy?
A: Yes. Hot-standby redundancy requires a primary and a secondary controller in the same chassis.
Q: What is the warranty on Konmask-supplied SC-UMIX01 units?
A: New units carry manufacturer warranty. Refurbished units include a 12-month Konmask functional warranty.
Q: Can you source discontinued or obsolete SC-UMIX01 stock?
A: Yes. We specialize in legacy and hard-to-find industrial automation parts. Submit an RFQ and we will respond within 24 hours.
