Honeywell TK-CCR013 Redundant ControlNet Interface Module

The Honeywell TK-CCR013 is a dual-media redundant ControlNet interface module designed for communication within Honeywell Experion PKS control systems. It provides a redundant network interface for controller and system communication. The TK prefix identifies the conformal-coated version of the ControlNet module, distinguishing it from the corresponding TC-series version.

Communication Function

The TK-CCR013 belongs to the Series D ControlNet interface family and uses dual-media network redundancy. In a redundant network arrangement, the dual-media interface provides two communication paths, allowing the system architecture to maintain network connectivity through its redundant media configuration.

It is intended for ControlNet-based Experion PKS architectures. It should not be confused with a single-media ControlNet interface or an Ethernet communication module.

Technical Specifications

Network Configuration and Compatibility

The module provides separate A and B connections for dual-media ControlNet networks. Honeywell documentation specifies that the A and B trunk cable drop connections must be connected to their corresponding module connectors when operating in a redundant-media configuration.

A dual-media module can also operate in a single-media network configuration. In that arrangement, the network drop cable must connect to port A.

Replacement and Lifecycle Information

The TK-CCR013 is identified as an obsolete Series D module in Honeywell's Experion PKS Control Hardware Installation Guide (Release 516).

• Successor model: TK-CCR014, Series E dual-media redundant ControlNet interface.
• Replacement consideration: If a CCR013 module fails in a redundant chassis pair, Honeywell specifies replacing both partner modules with Series E CCR014 modules.
• Both modules in a redundant chassis pair must be the same type.
• Replacement firmware and startup diagnostics must be checked before returning the system to operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between TK-CCR013 and a single-media ControlNet module?

A: The TK-CCR013 supports dual-media ControlNet communication through separate A and B network connections. A single-media module uses only one network connection and does not provide the same dual-media configuration.

Q: Can the TK-CCR013 be replaced directly with a TK-CCR014?

A: The TK-CCR014 is the documented Series E successor. However, in a redundant chassis pair, both partner CCR013 modules must be replaced with CCR014 modules of the same type. Firmware compatibility and system configuration must also be verified.

Q: Is the TK-CCR013 hot-swappable?

A: Honeywell's installation procedure specifies switching off chassis power before removing the ControlNet module. Do not assume that this model supports removal under power.
