Honeywell 10004/1/1 Communication Module

The Honeywell 10004/1/1 (10004/1/1 Communication Module) provides direct communication exchange within Honeywell FSC and Fault Tolerant Automation architectures. Operating as a vertical communication interface, the module manages data transfer between safety controllers, communication networks, and associated system components while supporting multiple industrial communication media.

Hardware Specifications

SIL 3 Communication Architecture

The 10004/1/1 module is designed for deployment within Honeywell FSC safety systems where deterministic communication and fault-tolerant operation are required. The module supports safety-related communication tasks while maintaining compatibility with SIL 3 system architectures.

Dual communication channels enable independent communication paths for controller interaction and system integration functions. The architecture supports communication between safety controllers, operator stations, supervisory systems, and external industrial devices.

The module forms part of the communications infrastructure within FSC and FTA platforms and is intended for operation within certified safety-related installations.

Galvanic Isolation and Multi-Protocol Connectivity

The communication platform supports multiple physical interface technologies, including:

• RS232C

• RS422

• RS485

• TTY Current Loop

• Fiber Optic Networks

This flexibility allows integration with both legacy and modern industrial communication infrastructures. Depending on the installed communication configuration, the module can be adapted for serial communication, long-distance communication links, or fiber-based network connections.

Within FSC architectures, communication processing operates independently from safety logic execution, helping maintain deterministic behavior throughout the control system.

Field Installation Guidelines

• Verify compatibility with the installed FSC or FTA system revision before installation.

• Confirm rack space availability for the 8 HP, 3U Eurocard form factor.

• Ensure the system power supply can support the specified 5 VDC, 1150 mA requirement.

• Route communication cables separately from high-current power wiring.

• Apply signal grounding and shielding practices according to site communication standards.

• Verify communication media selection matches the configured interface type.

• Perform communication diagnostics and channel verification after commissioning.
