The Honeywell 900SP1-0100 serves as the interface module between expansion I/O and the control processor module. This unit is required when I/O racks must communicate with CPMs located in a different rack. Specifically, it bridges remote racks and the main controller over a dedicated I/O network.
Furthermore, the module runs on a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor clocked at 667 MHz. A rotary address switch sets the rack address range from 1 to 99. Two tri-color LEDs report the module status at a glance. Besides, dual shielded RJ45 ports with auto-crossover and auto-detecting 10/100BaseTx speed simplify cabling in both redundant and non-redundant systems.

Qualified fiber optic equipment keeps long-distance links stable. For instance, the Moxa EDS-308 unmanaged switch offers eight 10/100 ports and needs 24VDC power. Meanwhile, the EDS-308-MM-SC adds two multi-mode fiber ports with SC connectors. Besides, the EDS-316-MM-SC provides fourteen copper ports plus two fiber ports. The Moxa IMC-101-M-SC converter changes 10/100BaseT(X) to 100BaseFX multi-mode fiber. Use shielded CAT5 cable for copper runs and multi-mode duplex 62.5/125 fiber with SC connectors for fiber runs.
First, set the rotary address switch to a rack address between 1 and 99. Next, mount the 900SP1-0100 in the expansion I/O rack and confirm secure seating. After that, connect port 1 and port 2 with shielded RJ45 plugs or qualified fiber converters. The auto-crossover feature removes the need for special crossover cables.
Moreover, verify the link and diagnostic LEDs on each port after power-up. The tri-color status LEDs should show a healthy state before you enable I/O communication. Finally, confirm the Star or Ring topology matches your network plan, and keep copper runs within 100 m while fiber runs may reach 5000 m. Therefore, plan cable routes and switch placement before commissioning.

Q1: What is the main function of the 900SP1-0100?
A1: It acts as the interface between expansion I/O racks and control processor modules in a different rack. Hence, remote I/O racks can communicate with the CPM over the I/O network.
Q2: Which network topologies does this EPM support?
A2: The module supports both Star and Ring topology at up to 100BaseTx. Additionally, it works in redundant and non-redundant systems with standard RJ45 connections.
Q3: What is the maximum cable length for the I/O network?
A3: Shielded copper cable reaches 100 m (328 ft.) from CPM to EPM or switch. Fiber optic cable extends to 5000 m (16404 ft.) with qualified Moxa converters and switches.
Q4: How is the rack address configured?
A4: A rotary address switch on the module sets the rack address range from 1 to 99. Specifically, you select the address before power-up and commissioning.
Q5: What are the power consumption and shipping options?
A5: The module consumes 2.6 W and dissipates 2.6 W of heat. We ship orders by Fedex, UPS, and DHL with tracking support.
