Overview

The Honeywell 8C-TAOXB1 is part of the Series 8 I/O family used in Experion PKS distributed control systems. It is an Analog Output Input/Output Termination Assembly (IOTA), sometimes referred to as a controller baseplate. Its primary role is to provide the physical termination interface between analog output modules and field wiring, ensuring secure connections and reliable signal transmission to actuators, valves, and other field devices.

This module is designed for high-density applications, offering more channels than the 8C-TAOXA1, and is built to operate reliably in demanding industrial environments.
