Honeywell FC‑DCOM‑234
Product Introduction
The FC‑DCOM‑234/485 is an industrial-grade communication interface module that provides both RS‑232C and RS‑485/422 connectivity. Tailored for use within Honeywell’s automation platforms (such as Experion, ControlEdge PLCs, and Safety Manager systems), this module facilitates seamless communication with legacy and third-party equipment—including flow computers, RTUs, PLCs, analyzers, and field sensors. It supports Modbus RTU in both master and slave configurations, ensuring interoperability across diverse industrial environments.
Applications
Ideal for:
-
Integrating serial devices into modern Honeywell control systems
-
Connecting SCADA, PLCs, and sensors via Modbus RTU
-
Bridging legacy RS‑232 or RS‑485 Tier devices to automation platforms
-
Process automation in energy, oil & gas, water treatment, and manufacturing
-
Enabling remote asset and pipeline telemetry via serial links
Key Advantages
-
Dual Port Flexibility: Switch between RS‑232C and RS‑485 protocols via configuration
-
Compact Installation: DIN‑rail or baseplate mountable in standard control cabinets
-
Modbus RTU Compatibility: Supports both master and slave modes for flexible deployment
-
High Reliability: Features optical isolation for RS‑485 path, LED diagnostic indicators, and industrial-grade build
-
Hot‑Swap Ready: Designed to be replaced or added without shutting down the host controller
-
Robust Environmental Tolerance: Wide operating temperature, humidity resistance, and conformal coating
