Functioning as a high-density Carrier Channel Assembly, this module provides the physical mounting and electrical backplane interface required for C300 controllers and associated I\/O hardware. It is specifically engineered to facilitate high-speed, deterministic data exchange across the Control Execution Environment (CEE). By serving as the primary communication backbone within a Series C rack, the CC-MCAR30 ensures that control signals are routed with minimal latency, providing the stability necessary for mission-critical automation and large-scale Distributed Control Systems (DCS).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eComponent Infrastructure and Physical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-paddingleft-2\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCC-MCAR30\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModule Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCarrier Channel Interconnect \/ Backplane Assembly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eExperion PKS Series C \/ C300\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommunication Protocol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) Internal Bus Support\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Logic:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSupports vertical or horizontal rack orientation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eHigh-integrity gold-plated interface pins\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.4 kg\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e7 x 14 x 14.5 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHS Tariff Classification:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e8537101190\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eUSA\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSystem Deployment and Strategic Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn complex processing environments such as upstream hydrocarbon production, chemical synthesis, and power utility management, the CC-MCAR30 acts as the \"nerve center\" for the controller row. It is designed to host the C300 controller while allowing for seamless expansion of the I\/O bus. The assembly's modular nature enables plant engineers to scale control capacity without overhauling existing cabinet wiring. Because it is built for continuous duty, it supports advanced diagnostics that monitor the health of seated modules, helping to prevent unplanned downtime. This carrier is essential for facilities migrating to future-ready automation, as it provides a robust, vibration-resistant platform for high-speed processing and secure process synchronization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the CC-MCAR30 include the C300 controller module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No, the CC-MCAR30 is the Carrier Channel Assembly (the backplane\/housing). The C300 controller and I\/O modules must be purchased separately and seated into this carrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this assembly compatible with redundant controller configurations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Yes, the CC-MCAR30 is designed to support the high-availability requirements of the Experion PKS system, including redundant C300 controller setups where dual-path communication is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the benefit of the Series C carrier design over legacy chassis?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The Series C design, which the CC-MCAR30 belongs to, utilizes a unique angled mounting system that improves heat dissipation and allows for easier front-access wiring, significantly reducing the maintenance footprint within the cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does the assembly require external cooling fans?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The CC-MCAR30 itself is a passive electronic backplane. While it is designed to facilitate natural convection, the overall thermal management depends on the total power load of the modules seated within it and the cabinet's ventilation system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can this carrier be used in hazardous area locations?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: When installed within a properly rated Honeywell enclosure and following SIS\/DCS safety guidelines, the CC-MCAR30 is suitable for use in typical industrial control environments, though specific Class\/Division ratings depend on the seated modules.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honeywell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45518940864685,"sku":"CC-MCAR30","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0733\/1613\/9181\/files\/honeywell-cc-mcar30-carrier-channel-assembly-u4frn23rr14.jpg?v=1766982445","url":"https:\/\/www.maxwellplc.com\/products\/cc-mcar30-carrier-channel-assembly-honeywell-experion-pks","provider":"Maxwell PLC Ltd","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
