HONEYWELL CC-PAON01

Description

Product Description

The HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 is a high-density, 16-channel Analog Output module from Honeywell’s legacy Experion PKS Series C I/O family. This module is designed to provide precise command signals to field devices by converting digital values from the controller into standard analog current outputs. As a critical component for control loops, the HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 interfaces directly with devices such as control valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and positioners, enabling precise analog control within a Distributed Control System (DCS) or PLC environment. Engineered for reliability in industrial settings, this module installs into a dedicated Series C I/O carrier and communicates via a robust, noise-resistant fieldbus network to the host controller. For systems requiring multiple, isolated analog control signals, the HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 offers a proven and dependable solution. The integration of the HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 into an Experion PKS architecture ensures seamless data integrity and performance for critical output functions.

Product Parameters

• I/O Type: 16-channel Analog Output (AO).
• Signal Range: Typically 4-20 mA DC per channel, supporting standard industrial analog control signaling.
• Resolution: High-resolution digital-to-analog conversion for precise output control.
• Isolation: Channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus isolation to prevent ground loops and ensure signal integrity.
• Communication Interface: Integrates via the Series C I/O Fieldbus to the Process Manager or Control Processing Platform within the Experion PKS system.
• Mounting: Modules per carrier form factor; requires a compatible Honeywell Series C carrier (e.g., CC-FTAO, CC-PCF901).
• Diagnostics: Comprehensive module and channel-level diagnostics for fault detection.
• Environmental: Rated for standard industrial operating temperature ranges.

Advantages and Features

• High Channel Density: Provides 16 output channels in a single module slot, optimizing cabinet space and reducing hardware footprint.
• Proven Reliability: As part of the mature Experion Series C I/O family, the CC-PAON01 has a long history of reliable performance in critical process applications.
• Superior Signal Integrity: Features individual channel isolation, which minimizes cross-talk and protects against ground potential differences, ensuring accurate and stable control signals.
• Seamless System Integration: Designed exclusively for Honeywell’s Experion PKS, offering native configuration, diagnostics, and redundancy support within the control engineering environment.
• Hot Swap Capability: When used in a supported redundant carrier configuration, modules can be replaced without shutting down the process, enhancing system availability.

Application Cases in Application Fields

• Hydrocracking in Refineries: Controlling the outlet valves on multiple reactor feed lines to maintain precise pressure and flow ratios.
• Boiler Control in Power Plants: Managing the speed of induced draft (ID) and forced draft (FD) fans via VFDs to optimize combustion efficiency.
• Batch Chemical Processing: Precisely dosing multiple liquid ingredients via control valves in a reactor vessel for repeatable recipe execution.
• Pulp & Paper Mill Operations: Regulating the positioning of stock flow valves to maintain consistent basis weight on a paper machine.

Comparisons with Competing Products

Unlike generic analog output cards from universal PLC manufacturers (e.g., Siemens, Allen-Bradley), the HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 is not a standalone product. It is an integral, proprietary component of the Honeywell Experion PKS DCS ecosystem. Competing DCS offerings from vendors like Emerson (DeltaV) or Yokogawa (Centum VP) have their own functionally equivalent but physically and electrically incompatible I/O modules. The key advantage of the HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 is its guaranteed performance, full diagnostic integration, and engineering transparency within the Experion system, which generic third-party modules cannot provide. For legacy system support and expansions, choosing the genuine HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 module is essential for maintaining system certification and support.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. System Compatibility: Confirm this module is compatible with your existing Experion PKS hardware and software version. It is specifically for Series C I/O, not newer Series E or F platforms.
2. Carrier Requirement: The HONEYWELL CC-PAON01 requires a compatible Series C carrier (e.g., CC-FTAO). Ensure you have an available slot in the correct carrier type.
3. Redundancy Needs: For critical loops, plan for module redundancy, which involves specific carrier types (FTAO) and configuration. A non-redundant setup uses a different carrier.
4. Legacy Parts Strategy: As part of a mature product line, verify long-term availability and lead times. For new greenfield projects, newer Experion I/O series should be evaluated.
5. Configuration: Module configuration is done entirely within the Experion Control Builder engineering station. Ensure you have the correct software licenses and documentation.
