Honeywell FC-TCNT11 51307928-176 SC S300 IOTA Controller Redundancy

Product Overview

The Honeywell FC-TCNT11 51307928-176 is a redundant controller interface module designed for use in the Safety Manager SC S300 IOTA system, part of Honeywell’s high-integrity process safety and critical control platforms. It facilitates redundancy and communication between dual controllers, ensuring that failover and fault-tolerant operations can continue without system interruption or data loss.

Built to support TÜV-certified SIL3 safety applications, the FC-TCNT11 offers seamless controller switchover, real-time diagnostics, and synchronization between primary and secondary controllers. This module plays a pivotal role in functional safety and is vital for systems that cannot tolerate downtime.

Key Features

• Enables controller redundancy in SC S300 IOTA Safety Manager systems

• Ensures automatic switchover between primary and backup controller

• Real-time synchronization of memory, I/O, and logic state

• Fully compliant with IEC 61508 SIL3 safety standards

• Hot-swappable, enabling maintenance without system shutdown

• Advanced diagnostic and health monitoring features

• Designed for high-reliability environments including ESD, F&G, and BMS systems

• Seamless integration with Honeywell Experion PKS and Safety Builder
