Description
Product Overview
FC-R/PB2/N/12 is a Profibus DP Remote I/O Station Module manufactured by Honeywell for Experion PKS Distributed Control System.
This integrated mixed I/O slave module communicates with Experion controllers via Profibus DP-V0/DP-V1 fieldbus. It collects field digital signals and outputs control commands to on-site actuators, widely used in chemical, oil & gas, power plant auxiliary monitoring and pulp & paper DCS systems.

Key Features
- Mixed DI/DO integrated design, reduces cabinet module quantity and wiring workload
- Supports Profibus DP-V1 acyclic communication, realizes remote parameter reading and device diagnosis
- Built-in per-channel self-diagnosis: detects sensor open circuit, output overload and short circuit
- Compatible with standard Profibus GSD file, easy integration with third-party PLC and SCADA
- Compact DIN rail structure, convenient for distributed signal collection near field equipment
- Anti-surge PCB layout, stable operation under complex electromagnetic interference in heavy industrial sites
- Strict full part number verification required; different suffix variants cannot be directly interchanged without project reconfiguration
Application Scope
Petrochemical plant Experion PKS distributed control cabinets, thermal power plant auxiliary equipment signal acquisition, oil & gas processing automation systems, pulp and paper mill DCS remote I/O racks, water conservancy automation monitoring, and maintenance & retrofit projects of legacy Honeywell Experion DCS equipment.
