Overview

The Honeywell 51202971-110 Input/Output Link Cable is purpose-built for connecting I/O modules to controllers in Honeywell’s TDC 3000 and Experion PKS systems. Engineered for durability and signal integrity, this cable supports high-speed data exchange between Universal I/O modules and the system backbone.

Moreover, its shielded construction minimizes electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for electrically noisy industrial settings. The cable’s compact form factor and flexible insulation simplify routing through dense control cabinets. In addition, its plug-and-play compatibility with Honeywell I/O modules reduces installation time and ensures long-term system stability.

With a proven track record in critical process industries, this cable is trusted by automation engineers for its performance, longevity, and seamless integration with Honeywell’s distributed control architecture.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Distributed Control Systems (DCS): Provides reliable communication between I/O modules and controllers in Honeywell’s TDC 3000 and Experion PKS platforms.

• Process Automation: Used in industries such as oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation where stable I/O connectivity is critical.

• Control Cabinet Integration: Ideal for compact installations requiring flexible, EMI-resistant cabling.

• System Upgrades and Retrofits: Ensures backward compatibility with legacy Honeywell systems while supporting modern performance standards.

For instance, in a refinery’s control room, this cable links field I/O modules to the central controller, ensuring real-time data acquisition and command execution. In addition, its rugged design withstands harsh industrial conditions, reducing maintenance and downtime.

FAQ

Q: Is this cable compatible with non-Honeywell systems?

A: No, it is specifically designed for Honeywell TDC 3000 and Experion PKS platforms.

Q: What type of signal does the cable carry?

A: It transmits digital I/O communication signals between modules and controllers.

Q: Can this cable be used in outdoor environments?

A: It is intended for indoor industrial use; additional protection is required for outdoor applications.

Q: Does the cable support hot-swapping of I/O modules?

A: Hot-swapping depends on the system configuration, not the cable itself. Refer to Honeywell system documentation.

Q: How long is the cable?

A: The standard length is not explicitly stated, but it is optimized for typical cabinet-to-module distances.
