Honeywell FS-PDC-IOIP1 Series C Power Cable

The Honeywell FS-PDC-IOIP1, also cataloged as the FS-PDC-IOIP1 Internal Power Distribution Cable, operates as a dedicated hardware component for 24 VDC power bus distribution across up to 18 slots within Experion Series C I/O chassis enclosures.

Hardware Specifications

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

The FS-PDC-IOIP1 utilizes heavy-gauge stranded copper conductors enclosed in a high-density PVC outer jacket to deliver low-impedance 24 VDC power across multi-slot backplanes. Internal conductor layout separates odd-slot and even-slot power lines to reduce cross-talk and maintain channel-to-channel isolation references between adjacent I/O modules. The shielded power distribution path suppresses switching noise transients, preserving signal integrity for analog field instruments executing 4-20 mA HART loop protocol telemetry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is 24 VDC power allocated across odd and even slots using the IP1 connector?

A: The connector assigns Pin 1 to supply 24 VDC to odd-numbered chassis slots, Pin 5 to supply 24 VDC to even-numbered slots, and Pins 3 and 4 for dedicated return ground paths.

Q: What is the maximum backplane current load supported by the FS-PDC-IOIP1 assembly?

A: The multi-core copper bus cable is rated for continuous current transmission up to 10 A across all 18 supported I/O slots.

Q: Can the IP1 connector maintain its ingress protection rating inside harsh cabinet environments?

A: The connector assembly carries an IP67 rating, preventing dust ingress and moisture damage across its operating range of -20 deg C to +70 deg C.

Field Installation Guidelines

• De-energize main 24 VDC cabinet power supplies before seating or disconnecting the IP1 cable connector.

• Align the keyed connector housing carefully with the Series C chassis header before locking the retention latch.

• Maintain appropriate bend radii along wire ducts to prevent mechanical stress on internal copper strands.

• Ensure the cable grounding conductors connect directly to the main cabinet protective earth bus.
