Honeywell 51454475-100 Series 8 RAM Charger Module
C300 memory-backup RAM Charger Assembly supporting up to four physical Series 8 controllers.
Product Identification
Honeywell 51454475-100 is the Series 8 C300 RAM Charger Assembly used to provide backup power for C300 program memory during loss of normal controller power.
One assembly supports connections for up to four physical Series 8 C300 controllers. The module is normally installed near the associated C300 IOTAs and connects through the approved memory-backup cables.
The RAM charger is an optional controller-memory backup component; it does not replace cabinet UPS design, controller redundancy or project checkpoint procedures.

Functions
Supplies standby energy to preserve C300 program memory during loss of normal power.
Distributes memory-backup output to as many as four physical controllers.
Accepts redundant input power through the approved combo-cable arrangement.
Reports battery-status degradation through the Experion soft-failure mechanism.
Supports cabinet layouts with multiple C300 controllers when cable length and loading are engineered.
System Integration
Mount the RAM charger adjacent to the associated C300 IOTAs where practical.
Use only the documented 30-inch or 84-inch memory-backup cable for each controller connection.
Account for the number of connected controllers because hold-up duration decreases as controller count increases.
Include RAM charger status in maintenance displays and alarm-response procedures.
Confirm cabinet power isolation and hazardous-location requirements before connecting or disconnecting hardware.
Applications
C300 memory retention during temporary power loss.
Cabinets containing one to four physical Series 8 C300 controllers.
Redundant controller installations requiring separate memory-backup planning.
Process plants where controlled recovery after cabinet-power interruption is required.
Lifecycle
Record the RAM charger model, battery condition, connected controller count and cable part numbers in the cabinet maintenance file.
Investigate any RAM charger battery-status soft failure promptly and plan maintenance within the plant change-control process.
Hold-up time is a design value based on connected-controller count; field condition, battery age and maintenance status must be considered during lifecycle planning.
FAQ
Q1. What does 51454475-100 do?
It supplies backup power for Series 8 C300 program memory during loss of normal controller power.
Q2. How many controllers can it support?
Honeywell specifies connections for up to four physical Series 8 C300 controllers.
Q3. Does adding controllers change hold-up time?
Yes. The documented hold-up time decreases from 110 hours for one controller to 27.5 hours for four controllers.
Q4. Which cables are specified?
Honeywell lists 51202330-300 for 30 inches and 51202330-200 for 84 inches.
Q5. Does it replace a cabinet UPS?
No. It is a controller-memory backup assembly, not a general cabinet uninterruptible power supply.
Q6. How is battery condition monitored?
The architecture supports an Experion soft-failure alarm for RAM charger battery status.
