Product Details
Product Description
The TC-FXX172 is a fundamental structural component of the Honeywell Experion PKS and PlantScape system architectures. This 17-slot chassis provides the physical and electrical backplane required to house and interconnect a high density of I/O modules, power supplies, and gateway interfaces. Engineered for maximum scalability, the rack ensures robust signal distribution across the bus, allowing for extensive hardware expansion within a single logical controller environment.

Installation and System Scaling
The TC-FXX172 17-slot rack is the preferred choice for large-scale process automation where high point counts are managed at a single node. The mechanical design facilitates rapid module insertion and removal, while the backplane maintains electrical stability under full-load conditions. Note that when utilizing a 17-slot configuration, engineers must ensure that the total current draw from all populated modules does not exceed the capacity of the associated power supply module (e.g., TC-FPCX01).
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does the rack include a power supply?
The TC-FXX172 is the passive chassis base. Power supply modules and I/O modules must be ordered separately to complete the assembly.
-
What is the advantage of a 17-slot rack over smaller versions?
It offers the highest density for I/O concentration, reducing the number of separate racks required and simplifying the system's communication bus topology.
