The Honeywell TC-FXX132 functions as the high-density structural and electrical foundation for the Experion PKS Series C platform. This 100% Brand New and Original 13-slot backplane chassis provides the specialized housing required for C300 controllers, redundancy modules, and Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs). Engineered for vertical mounting, the TC-FXX132 facilitates superior airflow and structured cable management for high-availability control nodes. It utilizes a passive, high-speed backplane to ensure deterministic data exchange across all 13 slots while simultaneously distributing redundant power rails to every installed component.

High-Density Logic Integration: The 13-slot capacity allows for extensive system expansion within a single footprint. This minimizes the number of chassis required for complex control nodes, significantly reducing cabinet real estate costs and simplifying backplane cabling.
Superior Vertical Cooling: Unlike traditional horizontal racks, the TC-FXX132 optimizes the "chimney effect" for natural convection. This vertical airflow prevents localized hotspots around high-performance C300 processors, ensuring stable operation in ambient temperatures up to the standard Series C limit.
Deterministic Data Bus: The passive backplane design eliminates active electronic failure points within the chassis itself. This architecture ensures that data packets between the controller and communication modules move with repeatable, low-latency timing, which is vital for time-critical safety and control loops.
Redundant Power Railing: The chassis features two independent power distribution paths. When you connect dual power supplies, the TC-FXX132 maintains a continuous power supply to all 13 modules even if one power rail fails, providing the high-availability foundation necessary for 24/7 processing environments.
Corrosive Atmosphere Resistance: The reinforced frame supports G3 conformal coating. This protection allows for reliable installation in harsh "Class G3" environments, such as pulp and paper mills or chemical refineries, where corrosive gases typically degrade standard copper interconnections.
Can I mix C300 controllers and FIM modules in the same TC-FXX132 rack?
Yes. The TC-FXX132 features universal Series C slots. You can populate the 13 slots with any combination of C300 controllers, Redundancy Modules, Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIMs), or Ethernet Bridge Modules as defined by your system configuration.
What is the benefit of the 13-slot rack over the smaller 7-slot version?
The TC-FXX132 provides nearly double the slot density, making it ideal for centralized control nodes where you need to group redundant controllers and multiple communication modules together to reduce the total number of chassis and inter-connecting cables.
Does this rack require active cooling fans?
The TC-FXX132 relies on natural convection cooling through its vertical orientation. While the chassis itself is passive, you must ensure your overall cabinet design provides adequate ventilation to maintain the specified operating temperature for the modules installed within the rack.
How do I ensure the backplane remains protected from dust?
For unused slots, we recommend installing blanking plates. This maintains the structural integrity of the vertical airflow path and prevents conductive dust from settling on the backplane connectors, ensuring long-term electrical reliability.
