The Honeywell TC-PCIC01K functions as a high-performance, ruggedized PCI-bus interface designed to link industrial workstations and servers directly to the ControlNet network. As the premium "K" variant, this module features a factory-applied conformal coating, providing a critical defense against moisture, salt spray, and corrosive chemical vapors (G3 rated equivalent). It enables deterministic, high-speed data exchange at 5 Mbps, making it an indispensable component for Experion PKS engineering stations, HMI workstations, and plant-wide data historians that require a stable, PC-based link to the controller backbone. This unit arrives 100% Brand New and Original, ensuring full compatibility with your existing Honeywell DCS infrastructure.

Superior Atmospheric Protection: The "K" designation signifies a factory-applied conformal coating. This protective layer encapsulates the onboard components, preventing short circuits caused by conductive dust or moisture ingress. This makes the TC-PCIC01K ideal for paper mills, wastewater treatment, and chemical plants where corrosive gases often degrade standard electronics.
Deterministic Network Performance: The card maintains the 5 Mbps ControlNet standard, ensuring that HMI screen updates and engineering changes occur with repeatable timing. This deterministic behavior prevents data "jitter," which is vital for real-time monitoring of high-speed turbine or compressor loops.
Universal PCI Compatibility: The hardware supports both 3.3V and 5V PCI signaling. This flexibility allows engineers to install the card in a wide variety of industrial PC motherboards and legacy server chassis without worrying about voltage mismatches.
Galvanic Logic Protection: Integrated 500 Vrms signal isolation shields the PC’s internal motherboard from network-side transients and ground loops. This barrier prevents electrical faults on the ControlNet trunk line from damaging the expensive workstation hardware.
What is the primary benefit of the "K" suffix in TC-PCIC01K?
The "K" indicates a Conformal Coating. While a standard TC-PCIC01 card works in clean control rooms, the TC-PCIC01K specifically resists corrosion in harsh environments (Class G3), significantly extending the card's service life in polluted or humid atmospheres.
Does this card require an external power supply?
No. The TC-PCIC01K draws all necessary operating power directly from the PCI bus of the host computer. This simplifies installation and reduces internal cabinet wiring.
Can I use this card in a PCIe (PCI Express) slot?
No. This card utilizes a standard 32-bit PCI interface. To use this card in a modern PC that only features PCIe slots, you must utilize a certified PCI-to-PCIe bridge or adapter, though we recommend a native PCI slot for maximum stability.
How do I connect the card to the ControlNet network?
Use a standard ControlNet tap with a DB9 connector. We recommend using high-quality Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cabling to maintain the 5 Mbps data rate and take full advantage of the card's 500 Vrms isolation.
