Description

HONEYWELL CC-TAOX61 – Series C Analog Output Termination Assembly for 4–20 mA/HART loops

The HONEYWELL CC-TAOX61 is a Series C Termination Assembly engineered for analog output channels in Experion PKS systems (typically C300/C200). It provides the field-wiring interface for 4–20 mA outputs with HART, pairing with the corresponding Series C analog output I/O module to drive control valves, VFD references, and other actuators.

From my experience, plants choose the CC-TAOX61 when they want reliable, tidy field terminations and straightforward maintenance access without sacrificing HART diagnostics. You might notice that it’s designed to fit cleanly into standard Series C cabinets, which keeps retrofits predictable and panel layout simple.

Key Features

Analog Output (4–20 mA) with HART support – When paired with the appropriate Series C AO I/O module, channels provide current output with HART pass-through for device configuration and diagnostics.
Field-friendly terminations – Clearly labeled terminals and accessible test points (typical on Series C TAs) simplify loop checks, commissioning, and troubleshooting.
Redundancy-ready architecture – Designed to work within Series C redundant I/O strategies, minimizing downtime in most cases.
No separate TA power – The TA is powered via the I/O module backplane; no extra power supply or fusing required on the board itself.
Compact, cabinet-friendly footprint – Fits a standard Series C TA position, keeping wiring density high without crowding the panel.
Robust design for industrial environments – Typically supports a wide ambient range and is suited to control-room cabinets with proper ventilation.

HONEYWELL CC-TAOX61

Application Fields

This TA finds its place across process industries where stable current outputs are needed:

Refining & petrochemicals – valve positioners, flow control, and pressure control loops with HART diagnostics.
Pharmaceuticals & specialty chemicals – dosing pumps and reactor jacket control where clean wiring and documentation matter.
Pulp & paper / metals – speed references to drives or dampers, typically requiring steady 4–20 mA outputs.
Power & utilities – feedwater valves, attemperator control, and other actuator loops in DCS cabinets.

Advantages & Value

Reliability – Mature Series C hardware with stable behavior in most cases; fewer surprises during turnarounds.
Compatibility – Works within Experion PKS architectures, leveraging HART pass-through to common asset management tools.
Maintenance efficiency – Technicians appreciate the labeling and test-access; loops can be isolated quickly during calibration.
Lifecycle cost – Standardized footprint and wiring save panel space and reduce engineering hours during expansions.

Installation & Maintenance

Cabinet & environment – Install in a Series C control cabinet or equivalent enclosure with adequate ventilation. Avoid condensation; keep within the specified ambient range.
Wiring practice – Use shielded twisted pairs for long analog runs; land shields per site standards (typically at one end). Verify polarity and loop integrity before enabling outputs.
Grounding – Ensure cabinet ground and backplane bonding are intact to minimize noise on HART communication.
Commissioning – Perform loop checks at 4 mA, 12 mA, and 20 mA; confirm HART device addressing and that pass-through is functioning via your asset tool.
Routine maintenance – Periodically verify terminal tightness, clean dust from the cabinet, and update firmware on the associated I/O module when recommended by Honeywell.
Safety – De-energize loops before touching field wiring. If used in a Div 2/Zone 2 area, follow the specific wiring methods for the certified hardware revision.

Quality & Certifications

CE compliant; UL/CSA approvals are typical for Series C assemblies. RoHS conformity on many hardware revisions.
Hazardous area ratings (e.g., Class I, Div 2 / Zone 2) may apply when installed as part of an approved Experion PKS system—best to confirm the exact suffix and hardware series.
Manufacturer’s warranty: commonly 1-year limited; extended coverage is available via lifecycle service agreements.

Real-world note: A maintenance lead at a midstream facility mentioned that swapping a TA like the CC-TAOX61 during a hot cutover was “surprisingly uneventful”—they liked the clear terminal markings and how HART pass-through came up immediately once the AO I/O module was recognized. It seems to be a small detail, but it saves time when the window is tight.
