The Honeywell FC-QPP-0001 is a quad-redundant processing module designed for mission-critical control systems within the Experion PKS Orion platform. As the core computing unit in Honeywell’s Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) architecture, this module combines four independent 1.2GHz PowerPC processors with triple voting logic to achieve 99.9999% system availability. The FC-QPP-0001 executes complex regulatory control algorithms and safety instrumented functions (SIF) simultaneously, processing up to 50,000 I/O points with 50ms scan cycle resolution.
Featuring 8GB DDR4 error-correcting memory and 64GB SSD storage, the Honeywell FC-QPP-0001 supports hot-swappable processor redundancy and automatic failover within 2 clock cycles. Its integrated hardware firewall protects against cyber threats while maintaining <1μs time synchronization accuracy across distributed control nodes. The module’s -40°C to +85°C extended temperature operation makes it suitable for Arctic oilfields and desert solar farms.

Key Features and Advantages:
Ultimate reliability: The Honeywell FC-QPP-0001 implements Honeywell’s patented QuadraVote technology, comparing outputs from four parallel processors to eliminate single-point failures. This architecture reduces mean time to repair (MTTR) by 93% compared to dual-redundant systems.
Cybersecurity hardened: Built-in Trusted Platform Module (TPM 2.0) with FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption accelerates secure boot processes while blocking unauthorized firmware modifications. The module’s whitelisting function prevents execution of unverified code.
Future-ready performance: Supports virtualization of up to 8 independent control domains through Honeywell’s HyperControl technology. Engineers can allocate processing resources dynamically without system downtime.
Application Areas:
The Honeywell FC-QPP-0001 is essential for:
- Oil & gas: Subsea blowout preventer control systems
- Power grid: Black start automation for turbine generators
- Pharmaceutical: Continuous manufacturing PAT control
- Nuclear plants: Reactor coolant pump sequencing
In LNG liquefaction trains, this module simultaneously manages cryogenic temperature control loops, compressor anti-surge algorithms, and emergency shutdown (ESD) logic while maintaining NERC CIP compliance.
