Product Description

High-Integrity Infrastructure for Safety Systems

The Honeywell FC-MCAR-01 is a specialized Module Carrier (MCAR) designed to provide the foundational infrastructure for the Honeywell Safety Manager and Fail Safe Control (FSC) platforms. This mounting plate rack panel acts as the physical and electrical backbone for a distributed architecture, providing slots for various I/O modules. It ensures high-speed communication between field modules and the system controller while managing heavy-duty power distribution. Engineered for mission-critical reliability, the FC-MCAR-01 is certified to SIL 3 according to IEC 61508, ensuring the highest safety standards for protecting personnel and assets in high-risk industrial environments.

Rugged Design and Scalable Connectivity

Built to thrive in the demanding conditions of oil and gas refineries and power plants, the FC-MCAR-01 features a robust design that supports a wide operating temperature range from -42°C to +70°C. This carrier assembly is more than just a mounting plate; it includes an integrated backplane that facilitates regulated 24 VDC power distribution across all installed modules. With a maximum current capacity of up to 40A on the main rail (Revision 1), it is capable of supporting high-density I/O configurations without voltage drops. Its modularity allows for seamless expansion, while the secure mechanical latching system ensures electrical contact remains stable even in high-vibration environments.
