The Honeywell CC-SCMB03 C300 Memory Backup Assembly is a critical component designed to ensure the integrity and continuity of process control data in Honeywell’s C300 Process Automation Controllers (PAC). This assembly serves as a non-volatile backup device that protects essential system memory—such as configuration files, real-time data, and controller state—during unexpected power outages or voltage drops.

By safeguarding volatile data in real-time, the CC-SCMB03 enables the C300 controller to resume operation swiftly and accurately after power is restored, preventing downtime and potential process disruptions. The CC-SCMB03 is designed for seamless integration with the Honeywell Experion PKS system, ensuring complete compatibility and consistent performance across a wide range of industries, including oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and pharmaceuticals.

This latest version of the Memory Backup Assembly offers improvements in battery life, reliability, and industrial durability over its predecessors, making it an ideal solution for modern, mission-critical automation environments.
