HONEYWELL CC-PAIH01

Description

Product Description

HONEYWELL CC-PAIH01 is a high-performance analog input module for the Honeywell Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) and earlier TPS systems, utilizing the C Series I/O architecture. This module, the CC-PAIH01, is a core component for data acquisition, specifically designed to interface with standard 4-20 mA current loop transmitters. Its primary function is to provide precise, isolated measurement of multiple analog signals from field instruments, converting them into digital values for the Experion C200 or C300 Process Controllers. The reliability and accuracy of the HONEYWELL CC-PAIH01 are critical for regulatory control loops, advanced process control, and safety instrumented functions within the DCS. For engineers maintaining a Honeywell system, the CC-PAIH01 is an essential spare part that ensures the integrity of the analog measurement layer. Proper configuration and maintenance of the HONEYWELL CC-PAIH01 module are fundamental to overall process performance and safety.

Product Parameters / Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: Honeywell
• System: Experion PKS / TPS (C Series I/O)
• Functional Designation: Analog Input Module (16-channel, 4-20 mA)
• Input Type: 4-20 mA DC (Current Input). Designed for two-wire transmitter loops.
• Input Channels: 16 isolated input channels.
• Input Impedance: 250 Ohms (standard for 4-20 mA loops).
• Isolation: Channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus isolation for superior noise immunity and ground loop prevention.
• Accuracy: High accuracy, typically better than ±0.1% of full scale.
• Diagnostics: Comprehensive onboard diagnostics including open wire detection (current < ~3.6 mA), over-range, under-range, and module hardware faults.
• Communication: Interfaces with the controller via the C Series I/O bus when installed in a compatible carrier module (e.g., CC-PCF901 Fieldbus Communication Module).
• Power Supply: Receives power from the carrier module. Does not provide loop power to field transmitters; transmitters must be powered externally.

Advantages and Key Features

• High Channel Density: Provides 16 analog input points in a single module slot, optimizing control cabinet space and reducing hardware footprint.
• Exceptional Measurement Integrity: High accuracy and excellent noise rejection make the HONEYWELL CC-PAIH01 suitable for even the most demanding process control applications.
• Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities: The integrated open-wire detection is a critical feature, allowing the DCS to generate immediate alarms for sensor or wiring failures, enabling rapid response and predictive maintenance.
• Hot-Swappable Design: Supports online insertion and removal (subject to carrier and system design), allowing for module replacement without a process shutdown, which is vital for plant availability.
• Seamless Experion Integration: Fully configured within the Honeywell Control Builder engineering environment. The module is automatically recognized, and its I/O points become part of the unified system database.
• Proven Reliability in Harsh Environments: Designed for 24/7 operation in industrial settings with high levels of electrical noise and wide temperature ranges.

Application Cases in Industry

• Oil & Gas Refining: Used to measure pressures, temperatures, flows, and levels from thousands of 4-20 mA transmitters across crude units, reformers, and fractionation columns.
• Chemical & Petrochemical Processing: Interfaces with sensors on reactors, distillation towers, and storage tanks for precise batch and continuous process control.
• Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Provides accurate measurement for critical process parameters (CPPs) in bioreactors, purification skids, and formulation units under strict regulatory compliance.
• Power Generation: Monitors analog parameters in boiler control, feedwater systems, and emissions monitoring (CEMS) within the balance-of-plant DCS.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Verify Carrier Module Compatibility: The HONEYWELL CC-PAIH01 must be installed in a compatible C Series carrier (e.g., CC-PCF901). Confirm the carrier type matches your system’s I/O network (e.g., FTE, legacy I/O).
2. Confirm External Transmitter Power: This is a sinking input module. It does not supply loop power (24VDC) to the field transmitters. You must provide a separate, isolated 24VDC power supply for each transmitter loop. This is a critical wiring distinction.
3. Utilize Open Wire Detection: Enable and configure the open wire diagnostic in Control Builder. Set appropriate alarm priorities to alert operators immediately to a loss of signal.
4. Adhere to Wiring Best Practices: Use shielded, twisted-pair cable for all analog signals. Ground the cable shield at the DCS cabinet end only to prevent ground loops. Ensure proper terminal torque.
5. Series and Firmware Awareness: Be aware that there may be different revisions or series of the C-PAIH01 module. While often backward compatible, it’s best to match the series or consult Honeywell documentation for your specific system version.
6. Source from Authorized or Specialized Suppliers: Given its role in critical process control, procure the CC-PAIH01 from authorized Honeywell channels or from highly reputable surplus suppliers with specific expertise in Honeywell DCS systems.
