  • Weight: ~0.4 kg

  • Coating: Conformal coated (CC) – dust, moisture, corrosion protection

  • Certifications: CE, RoHS compliant

  • Revisions: Common Rev B, C, H (hardware); Rev B (firmware)

  • Status: Discontinued (legacy replacement only)

Interface & Communication Configuration

  • Host Interface: UCN network (75Ω coaxial, redundant A/B)

  • Field Interface: 16 × 4–20 mA/HART isolated channels (screw terminals)

  • Redundancy: UCN A/B redundancy supported; field channels non‑redundant

  • Diagnostics: On‑board LEDs for UCN link, power, channel status; remote multi‑variable fault alarm

  • Wiring: Shielded twisted pair (STP) for field transmitters; 75Ω coax for UCN

  • Hot Swap: Yes (replace without system shutdown)

  • FTA Compatibility: MU‑TAIH03 / MC‑TAIH03 (16‑channel HART multivariable FTA)

Core Functions

  1. Multivariable Transmitter Integration: Connects HART multivariable transmitters (Coriolis mass flow, DP with temp compensation) to TDC3000 UCN.

  2. Multi‑Parameter Data Acquisition: Captures up to 8 process variables per transmitter (mass flow, density, temperature, pressure).

  3. Multidrop Communication: Up to 16 multivariable devices per card, reducing wiring and hardware costs.

  4. Digital Configuration & Calibration: Remote setup, calibration, and parameter adjustment for all variables via HART.

  5. Enhanced Reliability: Conformal coating protects against dust, humidity, and chemicals in harsh environments.

  6. Advanced Diagnostics: Monitors transmitter health, detects open circuit, overrange, variable mismatch, and reports to DCS.

Application Scenarios

  • TDC3000/TPS DCS: Primary interface for HART multivariable transmitters in process industries.

  • Harsh Process Plants: Chemical, petrochemical, oil & gas, offshore, pulp & paper, wastewater.

  • Multivariable Instrumentation: Coriolis flowmeters, DP transmitters with temperature compensation, level transmitters with density.

  • High‑Reliability Installations: Humid/corrosive areas where conformal coating extends service life.

  • CE‑Compliant Plants: Required for European Union installations.

Compatibility Note

  • System Compatibility: Honeywell TDC3000/TPS (UCN network required)

  • Field Device Compatibility: HART 5/7 multivariable, Honeywell ST3000 smart transmitters

  • Replacement: Direct, drop‑in upgrade for 51304516‑200 (non‑coated); same functionality with conformal coating

  • Firmware: Requires TDC3000 firmware Rev 400+ for full HART multivariable support

  • Key Difference: 51304516‑250 = Multivariable + CE + Conformal Coating; 51304516‑200 = Multivariable + CE (no coating); 51304516‑150 = Single‑variable + CE + Conformal Coating
