Honeywell 10024/I/I Enhanced Communication Module

The Honeywell 10024/I/I, also cataloged as the 10024/I/I Enhanced Communication Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for high-speed serial data exchange within Honeywell FSC control systems. The module incorporates two isolated communication interfaces and an onboard processor to manage protocol handling and communication tasks independently of the central CPU.

Hardware Specifications

Serial Communication Architecture

The module provides two isolated serial communication channels based on RS-422/RS-485 interfaces. A dedicated onboard processor handles communication processing locally, reducing communication overhead on the central controller. The architecture supports data transfer rates up to 2 Mbaud and enables integration with external communication devices, remote subsystems, and MODBUS-based networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many communication interfaces are available on the module?
A: The 10024/I/I provides two isolated communication interfaces, identified as Interface A and Interface B.

Q: What serial standards are supported?
A: Both interfaces are based on isolated RS-422/RS-485 communication architecture.

Q: Does the module include its own processor?
A: Yes. The module incorporates a dedicated onboard processor for communication management functions.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Install the module in the designated FSC rack location.

• Verify correct connection of RS-422 or RS-485 communication wiring before energization.

• Route communication cables separately from power and motor conductors.

• Ground cable shields according to the control system grounding specification.

• Confirm communication parameters match the connected device configuration.

• Secure D-Sub connectors to prevent loosening due to vibration.

• Verify network integrity and communication diagnostics during commissioning.
