The Honeywell CC-PCF901 51405047-175 Control Firewall Module is part of the Experion PKS Series C hardware ecosystem. Its core function is to establish a security boundary between the "control layer" and "monitoring layer" in industrial control networks. Through refined access control policies, real-time traffic filtering, and redundant communication guarantees, it prevents unauthorized access, malicious attacks, or network storms from interfering with the C300 Controller and on-site I/O modules, ensuring the stable operation of critical industrial processes.
Core Positioning
Network Isolation: Physically isolates the "control side" of the C300 Controller from the "monitoring side" of the FTE network, allowing only pre-defined legitimate communication traffic (such as control commands and data acquisition) to pass through;
Security Policies: Supports Access Control Lists (ACL) based on IP addresses, ports, and protocols, blocking illegal protocols (e.g., Telnet, FTP) and abnormal traffic;
Redundancy Compatibility: Natively supports FTE redundant networks (A/B networks); a single module can connect to 2 FTE links simultaneously, with a switchover time of ≤100ms;
System Adaptability: Seamlessly integrates with Experion PKS R410 and above versions, is compatible with Series C family components such as the C300 Controller and UIO modules, and supports hot-swap replacement.
