Honeywell FSC FC-IOCHAS-0002R | 21-Slot Redundant Chassis

Honeywell FC-IOCHAS-0002R Redundant I/O Chassis 19-Inch Rack

Product Description

The FC-IOCHAS-0002R (FC-IOCHAS-0002R) is a high-density, redundant Input/Output chassis designed for Honeywell’s Safety Manager and Fail-Safe Controller (FSC) architectures. Utilizing Advanced Redundancy Technology (A.R.T.), this chassis provides the physical and electrical backplane required to support high-availability I/O configurations. It is engineered to house multiple safety-critical modules, ensuring continuous signal processing even if a single component or power feed fails.

Constructed from heavy-duty stainless steel, the FC-IOCHAS-0002R (FC-IOCHAS-0002R) fits standard 19-inch industrial racks. It features 21 total slots (4TE width each), with slots 1 through 18 dedicated to I/O modules, while the remaining slots facilitate power and communication bus redundancy. This chassis is a foundational element in SIL-rated systems within oil and gas refineries, chemical processing plants, and power generation facilities, where mechanical rigidity and electrical fault isolation are non-negotiable requirements.
