Description
The Honeywell CC-PCF901 Control Firewall Module (Part Number: 51405047-175) is a Series C / Experion PKS network communication module designed to provide Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) connectivity and network traffic control within Honeywell process automation systems. It acts as the CF9 Control Firewall unit, connecting C300 controllers, Series C Fieldbus Interface Modules (FIM), and other control network devices.
The CC-PCF901 mounts on the CF9 Input/Output Termination Assembly (IOTA) and provides eight FTE downstream ports plus one uplink port for connection to the supervisory FTE network. It improves control network reliability by filtering unnecessary Ethernet traffic, prioritizing control communications, and allowing only valid Experion C300-related messages to pass through.
