XF823A Honeywell | 12-Channel Input Module for Experion

Product Description

The Honeywell XF823A is a Panel Bus Digital Input Module engineered for building automation and industrial control applications. It is part of Honeywell’s Excel 800 and Experion platforms, designed to ensure precise monitoring of binary signals from field devices such as switches, relays, and pulse sensors.

This module provides 12 digital input channels that can be configured as either static binary inputs or pulse accumulator inputs (up to 20 Hz). Each channel is equipped with configurable LED indicators that show either alarm (red/green) or signal (off/yellow) status, offering clear real-time visibility for operators.

Moreover, the XF823A is DIN rail-mounted, supports 24 VAC/DC operation, and features a conformal coating that protects against humidity, dust, and industrial contaminants. These characteristics make it a dependable solution for long-term use in demanding environments such as HVAC systems, energy management, and smart building networks.
