TC-RPFM01 Honeywell ControlNet Fiber Module
The TC-RPFM01 is a Honeywell ControlNet fiber module for non-hazardous locations. It provides reliable fiber optic communication for industrial control systems. The module supports one fiber module plus one repeater adapter module. It uses a vendor-specific TTL bus with 30-pin male output and 30-pin female input connectors. The fiber optic type is 62.5/125 micron with ST termination (plastic or ceramic). The wavelength is 1300nm. The power budget is 13.3dB. Transmission distance reaches up to 3km (9,842ft). Communication rate is 5M bit/s. Galvanic isolation meets DIN EN 50 020 for TTL bus and ControlNet.
Core technical parameters include: measurement range (fiber distance up to 3km), frequency response (5M bit/s communication rate), sensitivity (13.3dB power budget), linearity (not applicable for fiber modules), resolution (not applicable), temperature range (operating –20°C to 70°C), environmental tolerance (95% non-condensing humidity, 15g shock, 2g vibration), and anti-interference capability (galvanic isolation and fiber optic transmission).

Installation Guide
- Mount the TC-RPFM01 in a non-hazardous location.
- Connect the 30-pin male output to the TTL bus.
- Connect the 30-pin female input from the bus.
- Attach the fiber optic cable with ST connectors.
- Use 62.5/125 micron fiber cable only.
- Verify power supply through the repeater adapter module.
- Keep ambient temperature within –20°C to 70°C.
- Avoid condensing humidity above 95%.
Commissioning and Maintenance Convenience
The module needs no internal calibration. Power comes from the repeater adapter module. No separate power wiring is required. The ST connectors allow quick fiber attachment. The 30-pin bus connectors support fast plug-in installation. Routine maintenance is minimal. Check fiber connectors for dust. Verify communication rate at 5M bit/s. The module requires no periodic tuning. Galvanic isolation protects the TTL bus and ControlNet from ground loops.
Compatibility Notes
The TC-RPFM01 works with Honeywell ControlNet systems. It uses a vendor-specific TTL bus. Use only 62.5/125 micron fiber cable. ST termination can be plastic or ceramic. The module fits non-hazardous locations. It supports one fiber module plus one repeater adapter module. The 1300nm wavelength suits long-distance links up to 3km. The 5M bit/s rate matches ControlNet networks. Galvanic isolation meets DIN EN 50 020. This module replaces obsolete fiber interfaces in existing ControlNet segments.

Diagnostic Capabilities
The module relies on the repeater adapter module for power and diagnostics. Fiber optic transmission at 1300nm with a 13.3dB power budget helps verify link margin. The 5M bit/s communication rate supports network health checks. Galvanic isolation reduces noise-related faults. Visual inspection of ST connectors identifies physical damage. The module has no internal status LEDs. Use ControlNet network tools for fault detection. The 30-pin TTL bus connectors allow loopback testing.
