Product Short Description
Product Introduction:
The Honeywell 8C‑PAON01 is an 8‑channel, independently isolated analog output module for the Experion PKS C300 controller platform (Series 8 I/O). Each channel can be software‑configured for current or voltage output without hardware jumpers, providing high‑precision control signals to field actuators.

Functional Features:
-
Per‑channel software‑configurable output type (no hardware jumpers)
-
Full galvanic isolation between all channels and the system backplane
-
Built‑in signal filtering suppresses industrial EMI
-
Channel‑level diagnostics with automatic fault reporting to the control system
-
Hot‑swappable for maintenance without system shutdown
-
Supports redundant ControlNet configuration for high availability
Working Principle:
Each of the eight channels contains an independent 16‑bit DAC and isolation barrier. The C300 controller sends output command values over ControlNet; the module converts these to precise current or voltage signals, with continuous self‑diagnostics monitoring output health, load faults, and short circuits.
Application Scenarios:
-
Process control loops driving 4–20 mA valves, actuators, and transmitters
-
Variable frequency drives and inverter speed commands (0–10 V)
-
Safety‑related loops up to SIL 2 in Experion PKS and PlantCruise systems
-
Oil & gas, chemical, power generation, and pharmaceutical process plants
Installation Requirements:
-
Insert into a C300 I/O rack, single‑slot width
-
Cabinet installation (IP20 environment)
-
24 VDC power supply with redundancy option
-
Proper grounding; shield termination for field cables
-
Configure each channel’s output type via Control Builder software (no physical jumpers)
Usage Precautions:
-
Verify load impedance matches output type: current mode requires ≤ 600 Ω; voltage mode requires ≥ 1 kΩ
-
Although hot‑swappable, ensure the rack supports online replacement before pulling the module
-
Isolation voltage of 1500 Vrms must not be exceeded between any channel and ground/system
-
SIL 2 certification is valid only when the overall system design meets the safety manual requirements
