5466-316
Product Name
5466-316Honeywell Experion PKS Digital I/O Module
Model Interpretation:
- “5466”: Honeywell’s standard product family code for Experion PKS I/O modules, signifying compatibility with the PKS DCS platform (used in process industries like oil & gas, chemicals).
- “316”: Variant identifier specifying the module’s 16-channel digital I/O configuration (8 digital inputs + 8 digital outputs) and compliance with Honeywell’s Safety Integrity Level (SIL) guidelines for process control.
2. Product Description
The 5466-316 is an industrial-grade digital I/O module engineered by Honeywell for discrete signal acquisition, control, and safety monitoring in Experion PKS distributed control systems (DCS) across oil & gas, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and power generation industries. As a critical front-end component in process automation, its core functions include:
- Acquiring 8 discrete input signals (e.g., from limit switches, emergency stops, or valve position sensors) to monitor equipment status in real time.
- Generating 8 discrete output signals to control actuators, relays, or alarms—enabling automated responses to process conditions (e.g., shutting down a pump during high pressure).
- Ensuring signal integrity via channel-to-channel galvanic isolation (2500V AC) and built-in noise filtering, eliminating ground loops and electrical interference in harsh industrial environments.
- Supporting Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 compliance for safety-critical applications, with diagnostic features (e.g., open-circuit detection, overvoltage protection) to minimize unplanned downtime.
