HONEYWELL 51304907-200(51304907200)

The 51304907-200 is a Printer Interface Board (PIB) for Honeywell TDC 3000/TPS DCS systems. It acts as a dedicated peripheral communication module, enabling the DCS to connect directly to line printers, serial printers, or alarm logging devices for hardcopy output of process data, reports, and system messages.

Description

Product Description

The 51304907-200 is a Printer Interface Board (PIB) for Honeywell TDC 3000/TPS DCS systems. It acts as a dedicated peripheral communication module, enabling the DCS to connect directly to line printers, serial printers, or alarm logging devices for hardcopy output of process data, reports, and system messages.

Model Definition

  • 51304907-200: Honeywell part number for Printer Interface Board.

  • 5130: Honeywell DCS hardware series code.

  • 4907: Circuit design code for printer/serial interface boards.

  • 200: Revision/version (dual-port or enhanced I/O variant).

  • Alias: PIB board, TDC3000 printer card, serial peripheral interface module.

Technical Specifications

  • System Compatibility: Honeywell TDC 3000, TPS, Experion PKS (legacy I/O).

  • Ports: 2 × isolated serial I/O ports (RS-232/RS-422 configurable).

  • Signal Range: -20 VDC to +20 VDC, 2 A per channel.

  • Power Supply: 24 VDC from backplane; 10 mA typical current draw.

  • Operating Temperature: -40 °C to +70 °C.

  • Storage Temperature: -55 °C to +85 °C.

  • Humidity: 5%–95% non-condensing.

  • Isolation: 2500 Vrms channel-to-backplane isolation.

  • Dimensions: 2 × 13 × 23.7 cm.

  • Weight: Approx. 0.16 kg.

  • Certifications: CE, UL, CSA, RoHS.

Interface and Communication Configuration

  • Field/Peripheral Interface: Two DB9 or terminal-block ports for printer/serial device connection.

  • Controller Interface: Goldfinger edge connector for dedicated I/O slot in TDC 3000/TPS cabinets.

  • Protocols: ASCII serial, XON/XOFF flow control; supports Honeywell proprietary peripheral protocol.

  • Indicators: Power, Run, Fault, Tx/Rx LEDs for port activity.

  • Isolation: Electrical isolation between each port and the DCS backplane to suppress noise and ground loops.

Core Functions

  1. Printer Communication: Connects DCS to serial printers for alarm logs, trend reports, and process data hardcopy.

  2. Dual-Port Operation: Supports two independent printers or devices simultaneously (e.g., one for alarms, one for reports).

  3. Signal Conversion: Converts DCS logic-level signals to standard RS-232/RS-422 levels for peripheral compatibility.

  4. Electrical Isolation: Protects DCS backplane from peripheral-side overvoltage, ESD, and noise.

  5. Fault Diagnostics: Monitors port errors, timeouts, and cable faults; reports alarms to the DCS engineer station.

  6. Data Buffering: Onboard memory buffers data to prevent loss during printer busy states.

Application Scenarios

Widely used in oil/gas, chemical, petrochemical, power, and pharmaceutical industries. Installed in TDC 3000/TPS DCS I/O cabinets to provide hardcopy logging for critical process data, alarm events, and shift reports. Ideal for control rooms requiring physical documentation of process activity or regulatory compliance records.

Usage and Maintenance Instructions

Usage

Insert the module into the dedicated I/O slot and secure screws. Connect printer cables to the DB9/terminal-block ports, verifying signal ground and handshake wiring. Power on the system and confirm LEDs: Power/Run on, Fault off, Tx/Rx flashing on activity. Configure baud rate, data bits, parity, and flow control via the DCS engineer station. Test print jobs and alarm logging before commissioning.

Maintenance

Keep the environment clean, dry, and ventilated. Check LED status monthly and cable connections quarterly. Use a dry cloth to clean dust; avoid liquid cleaners. Store spares in anti-static bags in a cool, dry place. Do not disassemble; all work must be done by qualified personnel. Replace the module if Fault LED persists after cable/port troubleshooting。
