Honeywell 80363969-100 Analog Output Processor Module

The Honeywell 80363969-100, also cataloged as the 80363969-100 Analog Output Processor Module, operates as a dedicated hardware component for converting digital control signals to analog outputs within Honeywell TDC 3000 and Process Manager architectures. It drives 16 isolated channels outputting 4-20 mA analog current directly to field positioning devices and analog control loops.

Hardware Specifications

Channel-to-Channel Isolation and Loop Protocol Response

The Honeywell 80363969-100 incorporates internal optical decoupling across all 16 current loops to maintain channel-to-channel isolation. This galvanic barrier protects internal microprocessor logic against field ground loops and high-voltage electrical surges. When operating with 4-20 mA HART loop protocol field positioners, the digital-to-analog converter stage provides continuous loop impedance management to stabilize signal conversion over extended cable distances.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are terminal connections made directly to the front face of the 80363969-100 module?

A: No. Field cabling connects to compatible external terminal assemblies such as the MU-TAOY22, MU-TAOY52, MC-TAOY22, or MC-TAOY52, which link to the module via dedicated multi-conductor cables.

Q: Can an individual 4-20 mA output channel be configured as a voltage output?

A: No. The internal digital-to-analog conversion circuitry is designed strictly for 4-20 mA current loop driving and does not provide native voltage output options.

Field Installation Guidelines

1. Turn off main rack power and field loop power supplies prior to seating or removing the module from the chassis slot.
2. Align the module circuit board with the chassis card guides and push firmly until the rear connectors seat securely into the backplane.
3. Fasten the module retaining screws to ensure proper chassis grounding and mechanical retention under operational vibration.
4. Route field signal cables through grounded, shielded conduits and separate them from high-voltage AC power wiring to prevent noise coupling.
5. Verify that shield drain wires are tied to a single-point system ground block at the cabinet cable entrance.
