CC-KREBR5 Honeywell Control Firewall Module

Product Overview

The CC-KREBR5 is a high-performance Control Firewall designed for Honeywell Experion PKS Series C architectures. It protects C300 controllers from network flooding and unauthorized traffic by providing a hardware-based security layer. This ensures deterministic communication and safeguards the control network against broadcast storms, maintaining system stability in critical process environments.

Core Technical Advantages

This module provides 500 Mbps throughput with integrated traffic shaping to prioritize essential control data. It features 1000 VDC galvanic isolation, shielding the system backplane from electrical interference. By managing up to 64 simultaneous sessions, it prevents "denial of service" attacks without impacting the controller's processing latency.

Technical Specifications

Installation & Maintenance

Mount the unit directly onto a Series C IOTA. Use shielded Cat6 cabling for all network connections to ensure proper grounding. Configuration is managed via the Experion Studio or the local console port. The module supports hot-swapping, allowing for replacement or maintenance without shutting down the control node.

Engineering Advantages

The module offers native C300 integration, offloading network security tasks from the main controller CPU. Its compact, low-power design fits seamlessly into existing cabinets and operates reliably in temperatures up to 60°C, providing a robust "Defense in Depth" solution for industrial assets.

Technical FAQs

Q1: Is external power required?
A1: No, the module draws power directly from the IOTA backplane.

Q2: Does it support hot-swap?
A2: Yes, it can be swapped while the system is powered and operational.

Q3: How many sessions can it handle?
A3: It supports up to 64 simultaneous communication sessions.
