Features:
- Supports up to 18 IO modules (9 pairs) for high-availability safety systems.
- 482.6mm width with 4TE slots and 280mm depth for cabinet mounting.
- 18 IO connectors with internal/external power and watchdog interfaces.
The FC-IOCHAS-0002R is specifically designed for the Honeywell Safety Manager A.R.T. system, providing a 19-inch chassis that houses up to 18 redundant IO modules (9 pairs) in 21 slots. This redundant configuration ensures high-availability operation for safety-critical applications such as emergency shutdown (ESD) and fire and gas (F&G) systems. The FC-IOCHAS-0002R's slots 1-18 are configured in pairs for redundancy, while slots 20-21 contain IO-0002 extender modules and slot 19 houses the IOBUS-HB2A transfer board, providing a comprehensive I/O solution.
The FC-IOCHAS-0002R features a standard 19-inch rack form factor with 21 slots (each 4TE wide), ensuring compatibility with standard industrial cabinets. The FC-IOCHAS-0002R's height is 44.5mm + 133.4mm + 44.5mm (1.75 + 5.25 + 1.75 in) for the first chassis, with 4HE for subsequent chassis. The FC-IOCHAS-0002R includes a front cover that swings upwards for flatcable access and a removable IO back cover plate.
The FC-IOCHAS-0002R provides extensive backplane connectivity through the IOB-0002R backplane, featuring 18 48-pin female chassis connectors for IO modules, a 55-pin male connector for IOBUS-HB2A, and 8-pin power connectors for IO extender modules. The FC-IOCHAS-0002R includes IP1 for internal power distribution to slots 1-18, EP1/EP2/EP3 for external power to slot groups 1-6, 7-12, and 13-18, and WdP connectors for watchdog and 5V signals from CP1 and CP2. The FC-IOCHAS-0002R also supports system interconnection cables (SICC/SICP) and IO converter modules.
The FC-IOCHAS-0002R HONEYWELL 19-Inch IO Chassis may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond
End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Emergency Shutdown (ESD) Systems: Housing the redundant discrete output and input modules that trigger immediate safety valves, isolate high-risk zones, or handle plant-wide emergency trips during critical failures.
- Fire and Gas (F&G) Systems: Supporting continuous, high-availability monitoring loops connected to optical flame detectors, acoustic gas sensors, and toxic vapor networks across hazardous areas.
- Burner Management Systems (BMS): Running fuel-air ratio limits, purge sequences, and emergency fuel-cutoff interlocks on massive utility boilers and furnaces.
- High-Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS): Providing sub-second response times for upstream overpressure valves in pipeline protection schemes.
- Core High-Hazard Industries: Extensively deployed on upstream offshore oil platforms, LNG liquefaction terminals, petrochemical plants, refineries, and chemical synthesis units.
- Dual-Path Redundant I/O Bus: The integrated IOBUS-HB2R flat cable backplane splits the communication bus into isolated parallel paths. This guarantees that even if one channel or its physical connector drops or suffers data corruption, the redundant partner path takes over data transmission instantly.
- Field Terminal Assembly (FTA) Connectivity: The IOB-0002R center board provides 18 heavy-duty physical I/O connectors. These line up with pre-fabricated system cables to route field signals smoothly out to marshalling panel termination boards.
- TÜV Certified Functional Safety: Fully approved for use in safety loops up to SIL 3 (Safety Integrity Level 3) according to the IEC 61508 / IEC 61511 standards.
- A.R.T. (Advanced Redundancy Technology): The chassis architecture fully supports Honeywell's Safety Manager A.R.T. protocol. It continuously runs deep background diagnostic routines to spot hidden stuck-at faults or open-circuit bus behaviors before they can cause an unmanaged failure.
- Independent Dual 5V Power Inputs: Features completely separate dual 5Vdc internal power feeds (drawing 100mA each). This electrical separation ensures that a short-circuit on one internal controller card will not collapse the power rail of its redundant twin card.
