8C-TPOX01 51307022-175 Honeywell Wireless Module

The Honeywell 8C-TPOX01 51307022-175, also cataloged as the 8C-TPOX01 Wireless Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for wireless field device I/O integration within Honeywell Experion PKS and TDC 3000 distributed control system networks.

Hardware Specifications

4-20 mA HART Loop Protocol Pass-Through and Channel Isolation

The Honeywell 8C-TPOX01 51307022-175 processes transmitted analog and digital field data using integrated channel-to-channel isolation circuits, protecting internal system logic against external electrical transients. The wireless radio link supports 4-20 mA HART loop protocol variable extraction, mapping primary, secondary, and tertiary variables from remote wireless transmitters directly into the Experion PKS controller memory map while suppressing industrial electromagnetic interference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the 8C-TPOX01 module support online hot-swapping during active system operation?

A: Yes, the module permits Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) on a powered Series 8 carrier, provided backplane power distribution is verified before insertion.

Q: How are remote analog and digital I/O channels mapped to the controller interface?

A: Transmitted wireless field signals are converted by the 8C-TPOX01 internal signal processor into native DCS backplane registers, appearing as standard wired I/O channels to the controller logic.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Mount the module firmly into the dedicated Series 8 carrier chassis, ensuring full connector engagement before powering the carrier bus.
2. Position the remote antenna assembly away from heavy structural metal obstacles to maintain clear radio line-of-sight propagation.
3. Ensure the cabinet earth ground terminal is connected directly to plant instrument earth via low-impedance copper braid.
4. Verify all NPT antenna cable gland and conduit interface connections achieve a minimum of 5 full threads of engagement to maintain enclosure ingress protection.
