CSC-200 Honeywell High-Speed Microprocessor Protection Module

Product Overview

The Honeywell CSC-200 functions as a high-performance, modular digital protection and control unit designed for utility and industrial power systems. This device provides a unified platform for the comprehensive protection of substations, transformers, feeders, and motors. We supply this unit as 100% Brand New original hardware, equipped with a 32-bit high-speed microprocessor and 14-bit A/D conversion for precise electrical measurements. Its programmable logic and flexible communication interfaces allow engineers to execute complex protection schemes while maintaining seamless integration with modern smart grids and DCS architectures.

Technical Specifications

Engineering Advantages

• Advanced Multi-Function Protection: The CSC-200 integrates overcurrent, differential, and distance protection into a single module. This consolidation eliminates the need for multiple discrete relays, reducing cabinet footprint and simplifying the protection string for feeders and transformers.

• Optical Isolation & Noise Immunity: By utilizing Optical Ethernet and Optical RS-485 interfaces, the device eliminates electrical interference and ground potential differences common in high-voltage substation environments. This ensures zero signal corruption during high-surge events.

• Deterministic Logic Execution: The 32-bit microprocessor executes user-defined graphical logic with high speed and consistency. Engineers can program custom interlocking and breaker control schemes that respond in milliseconds to fault conditions, preventing downstream equipment damage.

• Comprehensive Fault Diagnostics: The unit features high-resolution Sequence of Events (SOE) recording and fault detection diagnostics. This allows maintenance teams to perform virtual testing and remote simulations, drastically reducing the time required for root-cause analysis after a trip event.

• Ruggedized Utility Design: Engineered to exceed IEC standards for vibration, shock, and collision, the CSC-200 thrives in harsh industrial locations. Its electrical insulation handles surge withstand up to 5kV, guaranteeing reliable operation during atmospheric lightning strikes or switching transients.

Installation and Integration

Mount the CSC-200 in a centralized control panel or distributed switchgear cabinet. Connect the primary CT and PT inputs to the rear terminals, ensuring all wiring meets local utility safety standards. Utilize the PC-based graphical logic editor to configure protection parameters and communication addresses. For precision time-stamping of events, integrate the unit with a GPS or IRIG-B time source to synchronize the CSC-200 with the wider substation network.

FAQs

• What communication protocols does the CSC-200 support for SCADA integration?

  The device natively supports the IEC 103 protocol as well as CSC-2000 proprietary protocols. This allows for seamless data exchange with most industrial SCADA and energy management systems via Optical Ethernet or RS-485.

• Can this device monitor non-electrical quantities?

  Yes. The CSC-200 includes inputs for non-electrical quantities, such as temperature or pressure trips from transformer Buchholz relays or oil temperature indicators, providing a complete machinery protection profile.

• Is the LCD interface configurable?

  The unit features a standard LCD display for local monitoring and status checks. It includes 11 status LEDs that provide immediate visual confirmation of trips, faults, and communication health without requiring a connected PC.

• Is this a refurbished or surplus unit?

  No. This is a 100% Brand New, original Honeywell CSC-200 unit. It arrives in factory-original packaging and carries a full manufacturer-equivalent warranty for substation applications.
