Description
Product Overview
The Honeywell FC-IO-0001 CC V1.0 is an I/O extender used in the Safety Manager hardware architecture. Its purpose is to carry communication between the control processor and the I/O modules installed in the chassis. It is a system-interface component, not a field signal card: it does not directly provide the discrete or analog input/output channels used to connect sensors and actuators. Correct operation depends on the matching I/O backplane, chassis configuration, extender connections, and system addressing.
The module is used in the FC-IOCHAS-0001 family of I/O chassis. In a nonredundant IOCHAS-0001S arrangement, one extender is installed in slot 21; in the redundant IOCHAS-0001R arrangement, two extenders are installed in slots 20 and 21. The module requires a 5 VDC supply at 35 mA, with supply ripple below 50 mV peak-to-peak. Its conformal coating distinguishes the FC variant from the non-coated FS-IO-0001.
For replacement procurement, match the complete identification FC-IO-0001 CC V1.0 and verify the installed chassis generation, slot assignment, connector keying, and redundancy design. Do not assume that an FC-IO-0001 of a different revision or an FC-IO-0002 will be a direct substitute. If the module is used in a safety-related system, follow the approved maintenance procedure and verify the system response after replacement. For used or refurbished units, request documented inspection and functional test results.
Product Introduction
Intermittent communication between a control processor and the I/O chassis can affect visibility of field data across multiple I/O modules. The FC-IO-0001 provides the extender interface used by the Safety Manager chassis to carry that communication path.
Before replacing the module, check the chassis backplane, extender connections, addressing, and supply conditions. In redundant installations, verify both extender positions and the approved maintenance procedure before disturbing either unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Can I hot-swap the Honeywell FC-IO-0001 CC V1.0?
The hardware reference states that an I/O extender can be replaced with power on, but warns that if the extender is safety-related, the Safety Manager will shut down during replacement. Do not treat powered replacement as permission to bypass site procedures. Confirm the module’s role and follow the approved maintenance instructions.
2. Does the FC-IO-0001 support firmware v3.1?
The module is identified by hardware version CC V1.0. A firmware v3.1 compatibility claim is not established by the module specification alone. Verify compatibility with the installed Safety Manager release and approved hardware configuration.
3. What does CC V1.0 mean?
“CC” denotes the conformal-coated version, while “V1.0” identifies the hardware version. The coating is a construction distinction, not a statement of the module’s I/O channel count.
4. Can I replace FC-IO-0001 with FS-IO-0001?
Not without reviewing the environmental and hardware requirements. FS-IO-0001 is the non-conformal-coated variant. Confirm the approved bill of materials and operating environment before substituting it.
5. Where is the FC-IO-0001 installed?
For the IOCHAS-0001 family, a nonredundant chassis uses one extender in slot 21, while a redundant chassis uses two extenders in slots 20 and 21. Verify the chassis identification and slot layout before installation.
6. What should I check if the I/O chassis loses communication?
Inspect the extender connections, I/O bus backplane, connector seating, chassis addressing, and 5 VDC supply conditions. Check system diagnostics before deciding that the extender itself has failed.
7. What should I verify before ordering a replacement?
Confirm the complete part number and CC V1.0 marking, connector keying, chassis family, slot position, redundancy arrangement, physical condition, and functional-test documentation. For a safety-related installation, verify the replacement against approved system records and follow the required post-maintenance checks.
