Honeywell TC-PCIC01K PCI-based ControlNet Interface Card

Description

• Functional Features
  • Standard PCI Interface and Easy Integration: It adopts a standard PCI bus interface, which can be directly inserted into the PCI slot of industrial computers or control hosts. It does not require additional adapter hardware during installation and can quickly complete connection and deployment, realizing seamless integration with Honeywell’s Experion LS distributed control system and various ControlNet – compatible industrial devices.
  • Multi – topology Support and Flexible Networking: It supports multiple network topologies including linear, star and ring types. Users can flexibly design the network structure according to the layout of industrial field equipment and the needs of data transmission, which improves the flexibility of system networking and can cope with different industrial site layout environments.
  • Fast and Reliable Deterministic Communication: Relying on the ControlNet protocol, it achieves fast and deterministic data exchange between field devices and control platforms. The protocol ensures that key control data is transmitted within a fixed time, avoids delays and jitters in data transmission, and lays a solid foundation for the real – time performance of industrial control systems.
  • Rugged Design for Harsh Environments: The rugged electrical design and wide operating temperature range enable the card to resist the impact of electromagnetic interference, voltage fluctuations and other adverse factors on the industrial site. It maintains stable performance without being affected by harsh working conditions, and reduces the failure rate of the communication link.
• Application Scenarios
  • Experion LS Distributed Control System Deployment: It is a core communication component in Honeywell’s Experion LS DCS. It connects various field sensors, actuators and controllers in the system, and transmits collected field data to the central control platform and sends control instructions from the platform to the field equipment to ensure the coordinated operation of the entire distributed control system.
  • Real – time Monitoring of Industrial Automation Production Lines: In automated production lines such as automobile manufacturing, electronic component assembly and mechanical processing, it is used to connect various production equipment and monitoring instruments. It transmits real – time data such as equipment operating status and product processing parameters to the monitoring center, which helps operators grasp the production progress and equipment status in time.
  • ControlNet – based Industrial Network Construction: In industrial parks and large – scale factories that adopt ControlNet as the main communication network, it serves as a communication interface between multiple subsystems. It realizes data interconnection between subsystems such as production workshops, power supply systems and logistics transportation, and improves the overall operation efficiency of the factory.
  • SCADA and HMI System Data Transmission: It is applied to SCADA systems and human – machine interface equipment in industries such as energy and water conservancy. It transmits the data collected by the field terminal to the HMI platform, converts the data into intuitive charts and data displays, and provides a reliable data source for operators to issue control commands.
