TC-PIL081 Honeywell 8-Channel Temperature Input Module

TC-PIL081 Honeywell Temperature Input Module

• The Honeywell TC-PIL081 supports multiple TC sensor types including E, J, K, N, R, S, and T. The mV input range spans from –40 mV to 100 mV.
• RTD support covers Pt100, Pt200, Ni100, Ni200, Ni120, and Cu10 sensor types. The module offers 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire measurement modes.
• You can configure temperature formats as Celsius, Fahrenheit, or Kelvin for all channels. Filter cutoff frequencies range from 0.2 Hz to 10 Hz per group.
• The TC-PIL081 delivers 16-bit resolution with a 4 ms response time. Thermocouple accuracy reaches ±0.5% for types E, J, K, and N.

Intrinsic Safety and Electrical Specifications

• This module carries a CENELEC II (1) 2G EEx ia/ib IIB/IIC T4 certification. Permissible field values include Uo = 9V, Io = 37mA, and Po = 83mW.
• The TC-PIL081 provides galvanic isolation between inputs and the backplane bus. It also isolates inputs from the power supply per DIN EN 50020 standards.
• Power consumption measures 0.19 power supply unit load with 1.6W power dissipation. Input voltage supplies through the intrinsically safe terminal base.

Alarm and Fault Detection Features

• The module enables configurable fault detection for lead breakage or short circuits. You can set this feature independently for channel groups 0 to 3 and 4 to 7.
• Overrange and underrange alarms activate per individual channel. A cold junction alarm monitors the reference junction health.
• Cold junction sensor accuracy reaches ±0.8°C maximum at 25°C. Drift performance stays within 100ppm/°C across the -15°C to 70°C range.

Environmental and Physical Specifications

• Operating temperature spans –20°C to 70°C with storage capability from –20°C to 100°C. Maximum relative humidity tolerates 95% non-condensing conditions.
• The TC-PIL081 withstands 15g peak shock with 11ms duration. Vibration tolerance meets 2g @ 10Hz to 500Hz per IEC 68-2-6 standards.
• Protection class is IP20, requiring a separate IP54 or better housing for field installations. Dimensions measure 76 x 94 x 46 mm and weight is 0.247 kg.
• Keyswitch position is 2. The module meets EMC compliance through DIN EN 50081-2, DIN EN 50082-2, and NAMUR NE 21 standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can the TC-PIL081 handle both thermocouples and RTDs simultaneously?

• Yes, you can configure channels 0 to 3 for one sensor type and channels 4 to 7 for another type. Each group operates independently with its own filter setting.

Does the TC-PIL081 support 4-wire RTD measurement?

• Yes, the module supports 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire RTD configurations. The 4-wire mode eliminates lead resistance errors for maximum accuracy.

What happens during a sensor lead breakage?

• The module detects open circuits when fault detection is enabled. You will see a fault alarm for the affected channel group.

Is the TC-PIL081 suitable for hazardous area installations?

• Yes, it carries CENELEC II (1) 2G EEx ia/ib IIB/IIC T4 certification for intrinsic safety. Always follow field circuit values for safe operation.
