Honeywell 51196727-100 is a high-reliability digital input module designed for the
TDC 3000 Distributed Control System (DCS). It serves as a critical interface between field devices (e.g., limit switches, pressure sensors, alarm contacts) and the DCS controller, converting discrete on/off signals into digital data for real-time monitoring and control. This module is engineered for harsh industrial environments, supporting high-density signal processing in oil & gas, chemical processing, and power generation sectors, with compliance to North American safety standards (UL/cUL).
Processing & I/O Capabilities:
- 16 discrete input channels, supporting both dry contact (no voltage) and wet contact (24 VDC) signals.
- High-speed signal sampling (1 ms per channel) to capture transient events (e.g., emergency stop triggers) in safety-critical loops.
- Supports up to 2048 system-wide I/O points when paired with TDC 3000 expansion racks.
Communication:
- Integrates with TDC 3000 controllers via the Local Control Network (LCN) at 1 Mbps, enabling seamless data transmission to operator stations.
- Equipped with diagnostic ports for troubleshooting via TDC 3000 Engineering Workstation software.
Rugged Design:
- Extended operating temperature range (-40°C to +70°C) for harsh industrial environments.
- 2.5 kV galvanic isolation (channel-to-channel, channel-to-ground) to prevent interference from high-voltage equipment.
- Shock-resistant (50 G peak, 11 ms) and vibration-tolerant (2.5 G RMS), compliant with IEC 60068-2 standards.
Programming & Configuration:
- Configurable via Honeywell TDC 3000 Engineering Workstation for channel mapping and debounce settings (0–100 ms).
- Supports IEC 61131-3 standards for compatibility with modern programming tools.
