8C-TAIXA1 by Honeywell | Reliable 4–20mA Input Module

Product Description

The Honeywell 8C-TAIXA1 is an analog input module engineered for Honeywell’s Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS). As part of the Series 8 I/O family, it is designed to work seamlessly with the C300 controller, providing accurate and reliable current-based input measurement for a wide range of industrial processes.

This module belongs to Honeywell’s I/O Termination Assembly (IOTA) architecture, which separates field wiring from the electronic components. This design simplifies system maintenance and replacement, minimizing plant downtime and improving overall efficiency. The 8C-TAIXA1 accepts standard 4–20 mA analog current signals, ensuring precise data acquisition from sensors, transmitters, and other field devices.

Moreover, the module features a conformal coating for enhanced environmental protection. It resists moisture, dust, and corrosion, making it well-suited for harsh industrial environments such as refineries, chemical plants, and power generation facilities.
