FS-PDC-IOEP2 | Honeywell | Power Distributor Cable

Configured for 24 VDC power bus extension in Experion Series C chassis systems, the Honeywell FS-PDC-IOEP2 (FS-PDC-IOEP2 Power Distributor Cable) provides direct physical/electrical execution across multi-slot backplanes.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol and Channel-to-Channel Isolation

The FS-PDC-IOEP2 power distributor cable maintains uninterrupted 24 VDC auxiliary power across primary and expansion I/O racks while isolating power line transients from sensitive field instrumentation. High-density outer jacketing and internal shielding reduce electromagnetic noise coupling between power paths and analog input/output circuits. This maintains channel-to-channel isolation parameters required for analog transmitters operating on the 4-20 mA HART loop protocol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary function of the FS-PDC-IOEP2 cable assembly?

A: The cable extends 24 VDC system power from primary power distribution units to external or expansion I/O chassis racks.

Q: What current capacity does the FS-PDC-IOEP2 support across its conductors?

A: The cable assembly is rated for 10 A continuous current transmission at 24 VDC under standard operating temperatures.

Q: Can the FS-PDC-IOEP2 cable be connected or disconnected while the chassis is powered?

A: Main 24 VDC power must be de-energized prior to connecting or disconnecting the harness to avoid arc discharge and backplane voltage spikes.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify cabinet main power supply is isolated prior to mating or unplugging chassis connectors.

• Ensure mechanical locking latches on the connector headers engage completely to prevent vibration-induced disconnects.

• Route power distributor cables in designated wire trays away from high-voltage AC lines and high-frequency variable speed drive cabling.

• Connect shield drain wires to the main cabinet protective earthing bar using short, low-impedance grounding straps.
