The HONEYWELL CC-PAOH01 is a Point-to-Point Analog Output High-Density Module for the Honeywell Experion PKS (Process Knowledge System) C Series I/O family. This module is a fundamental component for connecting the DCS to final control elements in the field. Its primary function is to convert digital control signals from the Experion controller into precise analog current signals (typically 4-20mA) used to command field devices such as control valves, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and motorized actuators. The “High-Density” designation indicates it provides multiple output channels in a compact form factor, optimizing cabinet space. For detailed configuration and safety guidelines, the official Honeywell Experion C-Series I/O manual for the CC-PAOH01 is essential.

Module Type: Solid-State Digital Output (DO) Terminal / Switching Module.
Control Input (Controller Side): Typically accepts a 24V DC logic signal to activate the output. Input current draw is low (e.g., a few mA).
Switched Output (Load Side): Provides a switched voltage output to drive the load. Common output ratings are 24V DC with a current capacity ranging from 0.5A to 2A per channel (exact specs depend on the variant).
Switching Element: Utilizes a MOSFET or IGBT for solid-state switching, enabling fast, silent, and wear-free operation compared to mechanical relays.
Isolation: Features galvanic isolation between the control input circuit and the load output circuit. This isolation voltage is typically 1500Vrms or higher, protecting the controller from transients, noise, and potential differences on the load side.
Protection Features:
Short-Circuit Protection: Electronic current limiting or cut-off to protect the module if the output is shorted.
Overload Protection: Protects against sustained excessive current.
Overvoltage Protection: May include suppression for voltage spikes from inductive loads (like solenoids or small contactor coils).
Diagnostic Feedback: Many models include a diagnostic feedback signal (e.g., a separate isolated digital input channel) that reports back to the controller if the output is in a fault state (e.g., short circuit, open load).
