Features:
- Honeywell's model table names CC-INWE01 as Network Module – Expansion.
- The expansion adds four gigabit-capable combo downlinks and four 10/100 Mbps copper downlinks.
- The cited 12-downlink capacity applies only to the combined main-plus-expansion assembly.
Honeywell's Control Network Module Product Information Note separates CC-INWM01, the main module, from CC-INWE01, the expansion module. The expansion adds eight downlink ports: four copper/fiber combo interfaces supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and four copper 10/100 Mbps ports. The main module already has four combo downlinks and the gigabit combo uplink. Honeywell therefore describes 12 downlinks for the joined pair, not for a lone CC-INWE01. This distinction matters for bill-of-materials checks and replacement planning, especially when a buyer needs the main module, appropriate IOTA or mounting arrangement and compatible media transceivers.
The manufacturer presents CNM as a ruggedized Level 1 network device for selected process and safety topologies, including IO HIVE and related Honeywell systems. A selector on the main module defines documented modes; the expansion does not independently choose a topology. The cited product note describes CCA and DIN-rail installation options and an operating range of -40 to +70 °C for CNM hardware. Confirm the actual cabinet, mode, connected controller and safety-system release, fiber or copper media, supplied main module and transceivers before specifying a replacement. Follow current Honeywell system instructions, then verify each uplink and downlink, diagnostics and affected control or safety communications after authorized work.
The CC-INWE01 Honeywell Control Network Expansion Module may still be available for purchase and support from Moore Automated Company beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

Direct Honeywell April 2022 Control Network Module Product Information Note. Page 2 maps CC-INWE01 as the expansion module and distinguishes its eight ports from the combined CNM count.
Honeywell's model table explicitly calls CC-INWE01 Network Module – Expansion and lists CC-INWM01 as Network Module – Main. CC-INWE01 is not an independent complete CNM assembly. A procurement match must identify whether the main unit, carrier/IOTA and mounting hardware are already present. Verify the physical module marking and the site network design before accepting a similarly named module or assuming that a single expansion supplies an uplink.
The expansion adds eight downlink ports: four copper/fiber combo ports rated 10/100/1000 Mbps and four copper 10/100 Mbps ports. The main module contributes the uplink and four other downlinks, giving 12 downlinks when the modules are combined. Port count, SFP reach and media choices are assembly- and transceiver-dependent; do not copy the combined totals or optional fiber distances onto a bare CC-INWE01 shipment without checking the supplied hardware.
The CNM product note documents Level 1 process and safety network modes selected by a switch on the main module. It describes CCA or DIN-rail arrangements and ruggedized cabinet operation, but site suitability depends on the installed controller, cabinet, release, area classification and approved topology. Confirm each connection and its required media, observe current Honeywell guidance and perform controlled link and diagnostics testing after installation.
