Description

CC-PFB801: Product Overview
The CC-PFB801 is a Profibus DP communication module designed for integration into Honeywell’s ControlEdge™ C300 distributed control system (DCS). It serves as a Profibus DP V1 slave interface, bridging ControlEdge C300 controllers (e.g., C300 PM I/O) with field devices that use the Profibus DP protocol. Its primary role is to manage bidirectional data exchange—transmitting control setpoints from the controller to field devices (e.g., valve positioners, motor drives) and returning process variables (e.g., pressure, temperature) to the controller—while adhering to Profibus DP timing and synchronization requirements.
Functionally, the module processes Profibus DP telegrams (data packets) compliant with IEC 61158, supporting V1 features like synchronous operation (for coordinated motion control) and alarm prioritization. It integrates with the ControlEdge platform’s high-speed I/O link, enabling seamless configuration via Honeywell’s ControlEdge Builder software. As part of the ControlEdge C300 family, it benefits from the series’ focus on modularity, hot-swappable design, and compliance with industrial standards (e.g., PROFIBUS International certified), making it suitable for applications requiring deterministic communication in oil & gas, chemical, and power generation.

Core Features & Customer Value​
Profibus DP V1 Compliance for Advanced Applications: The CC-PFB801 supports Profibus DP V1, including synchronous modes and prioritized alarms, enabling use in motion control (e.g., coordinated drive systems) and critical process monitoring. For engineers, this eliminates the need for separate motion controllers, reducing system complexity. For example, in a paper mill’s winder section, the module synchronizes VFDs via Profibus DP to maintain uniform roll tension, improving product quality.
Dual-Port Redundancy Enhances Availability: With two independent Profibus DP ports, the module supports redundant network topologies (ring/star), ensuring communication continuity if one port or cable fails. This aligns with ControlEdge’s high-availability design, critical for applications like oil pipeline monitoring where communication loss could delay leak detection. Maintenance teams benefit from reduced downtime, as the self-healing network minimizes single points of failure.
Integrated Diagnostics Streamline Troubleshooting: Real-time diagnostics (e.g., cable break, device fault, sync error) are reported to the C300 controller via I/O link, with LED indicators on the module faceplate. Engineers can quickly identify issues—such as a faulty transmitter in a chemical reactor—without field inspection, cutting diagnostic time by 50%. For a power plant’s boiler feedwater control, this prevents incorrect valve adjustments due to communication glitches.
Seamless Integration with ControlEdge Ecosystem: The module plugs into C300 I/O chassis and is configured via ControlEdge Builder, which auto-detects device profiles (GSD files) for plug-and-play setup. This reduces engineering time by 30% compared to manual configuration. For a refinery upgrading its DCS, reuse of existing Profibus devices with the CC-PFB801 avoids costly hardware replacements.
Typical Applications​
The CC-PFB801 is deployed in systems requiring Profibus DP communication with ControlEdge C300 controllers. In a petroleum refinery’s distillation column, it connects the C300 controller to 12 Profibus DP smart pressure transmitters and 8 valve positioners. The module’s 12 Mbps data rate ensures real-time updates of column pressures, enabling precise temperature control to maximize product yield.
At a chemical plant’s polymerization reactor, the CC-PFB801 interfaces with Profibus DP VFDs driving agitators. Using DP V1 synchronous mode, it coordinates agitator speeds to maintain uniform reactant mixing, with diagnostics alerting staff to a VFD fault before batch spoilage. The SIL 2 certification meets process safety requirements for reactive chemical handling.
In a municipal water treatment plant, the module connects the C300 controller to Profibus DP dissolved oxygen sensors and pump drives. Its dual-port redundancy ensures communication continuity during storms, while -40°C cold-start capability supports outdoor installations. The module’s PROFIBUS International certification guarantees interoperability with third-party sensors.
