HONEYWELL 51305072-200

The 51305072-200 is a CLCN‑A (Control Network‑A) communication board for Honeywell TDC 3000, TPS, and Experion PKS DCS. It connects CB120/CB121 controllers to the LCN A‑network, providing electrical isolation, signal conditioning, and impedance matching for stable data transmission in redundant control architectures.

Description

Product Description

The 51305072-200 is a CLCN‑A (Control Network‑A) communication board for Honeywell TDC 3000, TPS, and Experion PKS DCS. It connects CB120/CB121 controllers to the LCN A‑network, providing electrical isolation, signal conditioning, and impedance matching for stable data transmission in redundant control architectures.

Model Definition

  • 51305072-200: Honeywell part number for CLCN‑A (A‑network).

  • 5130: Honeywell DCS hardware series.

  • 5072: CLCN series circuit design code.

  • 200: Designates LCN A‑network variant (distinct from 300/400/800).

  • Alias: CLCN‑A paddle board, LCN A‑network communication board, TDC3000 controller network card.

Technical Specifications

  • System Compatibility: Honeywell TDC 3000, TPS, Experion PKS (C300).

  • Power Supply: 24 VDC from controller backplane.

  • Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C.

  • Storage Temperature: -40 °C to +85 °C.

  • Humidity: 5%–95% non‑condensing.

  • Dimensions: Approx. 180 mm × 70 mm × 40 mm.

  • Weight: Approx. 0.2 kg.

  • Data Rate: 1 Mbps.

  • Max Nodes: 255 per network segment.

  • Certifications: CE, UL, CSA, RoHS.

Interface and Communication Configuration

  • LCN‑A Port: BNC coaxial connector for LCN A‑backbone.

  • Controller Interface: Gold‑finger edge connector for dedicated CB120/CB121 slot.

  • Isolation: Full electrical isolation between controller and LCN to suppress common‑mode noise.

  • Indicators: Power, Link, Fault LEDs for real‑time status.

  • Protocol: Honeywell proprietary LCN; supports remote diagnostics via engineer station.

Core Functions

  1. A‑Network Connectivity: Dedicated LCN A‑network access for controllers in redundant pairs.

  2. Signal Adaptation: Converts between controller single‑ended and LCN differential signaling.

  3. Electrical Isolation: Contains faults to prevent network‑wide propagation.

  4. Impedance Matching: Optimizes coaxial transmission, reduces reflection/attenuation.

  5. Redundancy Support: Pairs with CLCN‑B for dual‑network failover and high availability.

Application Scenarios

  • Controller Redundancy: TDC3000/TPS with CB120/CB121 and dual LCN A/B networks.

  • Process Industries: Oil/gas, chemical, power, petrochemical, pharmaceutical plants.

  • Control Rooms: Standard industrial temp/humidity in control cabinets.

  • System Upgrades: Replacement for older KLCN‑A boards; fits existing LCN infrastructure.

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

Usage

  1. Installation: Insert firmly into controller’s CLCN‑A slot; tighten screws to resist vibration.

  2. Wiring: Connect LCN A coaxial cable to BNC; ensure clean, tight connection.

  3. Power‑on: Energize controller; verify steady Power/Link LEDs, no Fault.

  4. Configuration: Set LCN A address and redundancy via DCS engineer station.

Maintenance

  • Environment: Keep clean, dry, ventilated; maintain rated temp/humidity.

  • Inspection: Check LEDs monthly; inspect BNC tightness/cleanliness quarterly.

  • Cleaning: Wipe dust with dry soft cloth; no liquid cleaners.

  • Storage: Store spares in anti‑static packaging, cool/dry, away from ESD/magnetic fields.

  • Service: Do not disassemble; all work by qualified personnel.
