HONEYWELL CC-PDIL01

Description

Product Description

HONEYWELL CC-PDIL01 is a Discrete Input (Dry Contact) Module for the Honeywell Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) and earlier TPS systems, utilizing the C Series I/O architecture. This module is a fundamental interface for reading binary (on/off) states from field devices. The primary function of the HONEYWELL CC-PDIL01 is to provide a robust, isolated interface for voltage-free contact closures, such as those from limit switches, pushbuttons, selector switches, relay contacts, and motor-run status contacts. It converts these physical contact states into digital data for the Experion controller’s logic, enabling interlocking, alarm generation, and sequence control. The reliability of discrete input modules like the CC-PDIL01 is essential for accurate plant status monitoring and safe operational permissives. For system integrators, the HONEYWELL CC-PDIL01 is a core component for integrating field device status into the DCS.

Product Parameters / Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: Honeywell
• System: Experion PKS / TPS (C Series I/O)
• Functional Designation: Discrete Input Module (Dry Contact, 24/48 VDC Sourcing)
• Input Type: Dry contact input (voltage-free contact). It provides a sourcing voltage (typically 24 VDC or 48 VDC) to the field contact; the input is activated when the contact closes and completes the circuit to common.
• Input Channels: Typically provides 16 or 32 isolated input channels in a high-density format.
• Input Voltage: The module supplies the sensing voltage (e.g., 24 VDC) to the field circuit. The “L” in PDIL often indicates a “Low” voltage or a specific voltage range.
• Isolation: Channel-to-channel and channel-to-bus isolation for noise immunity and to prevent ground loop issues.
• Diagnostics: Includes per-channel status LEDs and module-level health diagnostics. Can detect field wiring faults if the internal supply is monitored.
• Communication: Interfaces with the Experion controller via the C Series I/O bus when installed in a compatible carrier module (e.g., CC-PCF901).
• Power Supply: Receives logic power from the carrier. The internal voltage supply for the field contacts is derived from this power.

Advantages and Key Features

• High Density and Reliability: Packs a large number of reliable contact input points into a single module slot, optimizing cabinet space and reducing hardware count.
• Superior Noise Immunity: The isolation and design provide excellent rejection of electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is critical for avoiding false triggers from noisy industrial environments.
• Clear Visual Diagnostics: Per-channel LEDs provide immediate, at-a-glance status of all connected field devices, drastically speeding up troubleshooting during commissioning or maintenance.
• Hot-Swappable Design: Supports online insertion and removal (subject to system design and carrier), allowing for module replacement without a process shutdown.
• Seamless Experion Integration: Fully configured and managed within the Honeywell Control Builder engineering environment. Points are part of the unified system database for alarming and history.
• Robust Industrial Design: Built for long-term, reliable operation in the demanding conditions of process plants.

Application Cases in Industry

• Equipment Status Monitoring: Used to read run/stop status from motor starters, pump alarms, valve limit switch positions (open/closed), and tank level switch states across a refinery or chemical plant.
• Safety and Permissive Interlocks: Interfaces with emergency stop buttons, guard door switches, pressure switches, and temperature switches to provide critical permissive logic for safety and startup sequences.
• Operator Interface: Connects to control room pushbuttons, selector switches, and acknowledge buttons for local control panels.
• Sequence Control: Provides step completion feedback for batch processes, such as confirming a valve has reached its commanded position before initiating the next step.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Verify Carrier Module Compatibility: The HONEYWELL CC-PDIL01 must be installed in a compatible C Series carrier module (e.g., CC-PCF901). Confirm the carrier type matches your system’s I/O network (FTE or legacy).
2. Understand Sourcing vs. Sinking: This is a sourcing input module. It provides voltage to the field contact. The field device must be a dry contact (switch, relay) that closes to the common (-) terminal. Do not connect an externally powered (sinking) signal to it.
3. Proper Field Wiring: Use correct wire gauge. For long runs or noisy environments, consider using shielded cable and ground the shield at the DCS cabinet end only. Ensure contacts are clean and make reliable connections.
4. Utilize Diagnostic Features: The channel LEDs are a powerful tool. Use them during loop checking to verify each field device operates correctly.
5. Fuse Protection (if required): For modules with a high-density internal voltage supply, check system specifications. In some designs, external fusing for groups of inputs may be recommended or required to protect the module.
6. Sourcing from Authorized or Specialized Suppliers: Source the CC-PDIL01 from authorized Honeywell channels or from highly reputable surplus suppliers with specific expertise in Honeywell DCS systems to ensure authenticity and functionality.
