Product Details
Product Description
The TC-CCN014 is a specialized communication bridge designed for Honeywell Experion PKS and PlantScape systems that utilize the ControlNet protocol. This module serves as a critical interface for managing redundant network media, ensuring that high-speed control data and I/O traffic remain uninterrupted in the event of a cable or transceiver failure. By providing a synchronized path for dual-media configurations, it maximizes system availability and maintains deterministic communication across the industrial backplane.

Reliability and Redundancy Logic
The TC-CCN014 operates by monitoring two physical network segments simultaneously. If the module detects a signal loss or excessive noise on the primary path, it seamlessly switches to the secondary path without disrupting the process control loop. This hardware-level redundancy is essential for mission-critical applications where network downtime could lead to hazardous conditions or significant production loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can this module be used in a non-redundant configuration?
While the TC-CCN014 is specifically engineered for redundancy, it can operate on a single network path; however, the redundancy diagnostic alarms may remain active unless configured otherwise in the system software.
-
Is this compatible with standard Ethernet hardware?
No, this module is dedicated to the ControlNet protocol and requires specific ControlNet taps and RG-6 coaxial cabling to function correctly within the Honeywell architecture.
