Features:
- Connects eight FOUNDATION Fieldbus H1 networks through one FIM8 hardware interface.
- Places fieldbus devices and controller control modules in the same Experion PKS configuration workflow.
- Supports documented C200, C200E, and C300 controller fieldbus implementation tasks.
Honeywell CC-PFB802 51454953-176 provides the FIM8 hardware point between Experion PKS controllers and eight H1 fieldbus networks.
Each H1 network carries device data into the controller environment, where control modules can use those values and return configured control actions.
Hardware, devices, control strategies, simulation, and replacement tasks remain associated with the same fieldbus network definition.
The Honeywell CC-PFB802 51454953-176 FIM8 FOUNDATION Fieldbus Interface Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Eight-Segment Fieldbus Path
- Segment organization: The FIM8 presents eight H1 network paths to the Experion PKS controller environment.
- Device side: Fieldbus instruments are configured on the H1 networks rather than as direct controller I/O.
- Control side: Controller control modules consume and act on values delivered through the fieldbus interface.
- Network context: The H1 definition remains linked to its devices and control strategies during configuration.
Experion Control Association
- Supported controllers: C200, C200E, and C300 controllers are included in the documented FIM workflow.
- Execution environment: Fieldbus control strategies are built for the Control Execution Environment.
- Point construction: Fieldbus points can be linked with cascaded controller-to-fieldbus points.
- Loading sequence: Controller, FIM, device, and control-module configuration are built and loaded as related objects.
Build, Load, and Simulate
- Hardware definition: The FIM8 hardware is configured before its H1 devices and strategies are loaded.
- Device definition: Each fieldbus device remains attached to its assigned H1 network.
- Strategy definition: Analog and digital control modules can use the configured fieldbus points.
- Simulation path: The documented simulation includes FIM8, an H1 network, devices, and control modules.
Network Maintenance Decisions
- Like replacement: A like field device can be replaced while retaining the established network definition.
- Unlike replacement: An unlike device requires its changed device definition to be handled in the configuration.
- Troubleshooting scope: Checks follow the FIM, H1 network, device, and controller-point path.
- Configuration trace: Network and control definitions provide the reference for locating a fieldbus communication problem.
