Honeywell FS-CPCHAS-0001 Chassis for Control Processor

Product Overview

The Honeywell FS-CPCHAS-0001 is a purpose-built chassis designed to house and support Honeywell’s safety control processors used in the Safety Manager and Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) platforms. As a mechanical and electrical backbone, this chassis provides robust physical structure, secure power distribution, and reliable signal interconnection for control processor modules and their accessories.

Engineered for high-availability safety and control systems, the FS-CPCHAS-0001 ensures proper alignment, thermal management, and electromagnetic shielding within control cabinets. It serves as the critical mounting platform for central processor cards, communication modules, and power supply units in demanding industrial environments such as petrochemical plants, refineries, and power generation facilities.

Technical Specifications

Applications

The FS-CPCHAS-0001 chassis is a critical component in high-reliability and safety-integrated systems. Typical applications include:

• Oil & Gas Refineries
  Mounting Honeywell safety processors for ESD (Emergency Shutdown), FGS (Fire & Gas Systems), and critical I/O.

• Chemical and Petrochemical Plants
  Hosting SIL-rated control modules in safety instrumented systems (SIS).

• Power Generation Facilities
  Supporting turbine and boiler safety control processors.

• Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences
  Securing validated processor environments in GMP-compliant operations.

• Offshore Platforms
  Housing redundant control processors with integrated grounding and shielding.

• Manufacturing Automation
  Mounting central processor hardware for discrete or continuous process safety applications.

Product Advantages

• Mechanical Robustness
  The steel chassis design offers structural strength for vibration-prone environments and long service life.

• Thermal Efficiency
  Optimized airflow paths support natural convection and thermal dissipation without forced air.

• Grounding and EMI Shielding
  Integrated grounding features ensure low-noise operation and reduce risk of EMI in sensitive installations.

• Flexible Mounting
  Designed for seamless integration into standard 19-inch racks or cabinet panels.

• High System Integrity
  Secure slot alignment and locking mechanisms prevent module misalignment or vibration-induced faults.

• Simplified Maintenance
  Modular slot layout makes processor card insertion, replacement, and inspection fast and straightforward.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the FS-CPCHAS-0001 used for?
   It is a chassis designed to house and electrically support Honeywell safety control processors and related modules.

2. How many modules can the chassis support?
   It supports up to five processor modules depending on system configuration.

3. Is this chassis compatible with non-safety systems?
   While optimized for Safety Manager and Experion systems, it may be compatible with general-purpose applications using the same module format.

4. What cooling method does this chassis use?
   It relies on passive cooling through convection—no internal fans are required.

5. Can I install this chassis in an outdoor cabinet?
   Not directly; it must be placed inside an enclosure rated for outdoor use to protect against moisture and dust.

6. What materials are used in construction?
   It is built with powder-coated steel and includes internal grounding paths for EMI shielding.

7. Is it hot-swappable?
   No, modules should only be inserted or removed when power is off, unless specified by the controller documentation.

8. Does it require specific grounding practices?
   Yes, proper grounding to the main cabinet ground bus is critical to reduce interference and maintain signal integrity.

9. What safety certifications does the chassis hold?
   It is UL, CE, CSA, and TÜV certified, making it compliant for use in safety-critical systems.

10. Can multiple FS-CPCHAS-0001 units be installed in one cabinet?
    Yes, multiple chassis can be installed side by side for scalability in larger systems.
