Honeywell MC-TAOY22 51204172-175 Digital Output Module

The Honeywell MC-TAOY22 (Part Number: 51204172-175) is an 8-channel HART-enabled analog output module part of Honeywell’s Experion PKS Control System I/O lineup, specifically designed to integrate with controllers like the C300 for precise process control. Its core function is to convert digital control commands from the central controller into stable, industry-standard analog signals—typically 4–20 mA current or 0–10 V voltage signals—across 8 independently configurable channels, which directly drive critical field actuators such as control valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and electropneumatic (EP) positioners to regulate key process parameters (e.g., flow, pressure, level, and motor speed). It supports native HART communication (compliant with HART 7 protocol), enabling dual-mode transmission over a single wire pair: the primary analog control signal for actuator operation, plus digital data for remote configuration of HART-enabled devices (e.g., adjusting valve stroke time) and real-time diagnostics (e.g., monitoring actuator wear or cable faults). To ensure reliability in harsh industrial environments, it features 2500 VDC galvanic isolation between channels and from channels to the system backplane (suppressing EMI and preventing ground loops), 16-bit resolution, and ±0.1% full-scale (FS) accuracy for tight control precision. It also includes comprehensive diagnostics—channel-level detection of open circuits, short circuits, and output overloads, plus module-level monitoring of power supply integrity—which send alerts to the Experion PKS system for proactive maintenance. Seamlessly integrating with Honeywell’s control ecosystem via the C Series backplane (supporting high-speed data transfer) and configurable through Control Builder software, it is ideal for critical process control in industries like oil & gas, chemical manufacturing, and power generation, ensuring continuous and accurate operation of control loops.
