Honeywell 10024/F/F Enhanced Communication Module

Configured for dual independent serial communication and protocol conversion in Honeywell Fail Safe Control (FSC) System platforms, the Honeywell 10024/F/F, also cataloged as the 3400265 Enhanced Communication Module, provides direct physical and electrical execution.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol & Channel Isolation

Operating within safety instrumented systems, the module incorporates robust optical and galvanic isolation rated in excess of 6 kV across communication interfaces to eliminate ground loops and protect against high-voltage industrial transients. It manages dual independent RS-232 serial channels supporting Modbus RTU, ASCII, and binary protocols at configurable baud rates up to 115.2 kbps. The internal logic maintains deterministic data handling and error checking across cascaded node configurations, ensuring high-integrity telemetry transmission throughout safety-critical networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 10024/F/F module support live hot-swapping within the Honeywell FSC rack?

A: No, standard safety instrumented system procedures require de-energizing the respective rack slot or isolating system power before installing or removing communication modules to prevent backplane disruption.

Q: What is the maximum cascading capacity for expanding communication ports with this module?

A: The architecture supports cascading up to 16 modules within the system framework to expand serial communication capabilities while maintaining strict protocol synchronization.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Inspect the module and backplane connector pins for cleanliness and structural integrity prior to insertion into the designated Honeywell FSC system rack.

• Slide the module smoothly along the enclosure guide rails, securing any locking mechanisms to ensure positive electrical contact with the backplane bus.

• Route RS-232 communication cables away from high-voltage power conduits and ensure proper shield grounding at one end to minimize electromagnetic interference.
