The Honeywell 621-0025RC RTD Input Module is a high-precision input module developed for receiving and processing temperature signals from RTDs (Resistance Temperature Detectors) in industrial automation systems. As an enhanced version of the 621-0025, the 621-0025RC offers improved resilience and system compatibility, making it a trusted choice for Honeywell TDC 2000, TDC 3000, and PlantScape systems.

This module captures accurate temperature measurements across various RTD types (such as Pt100, Pt1000, and others), enabling effective temperature control in safety-critical environments. The “RC” in the model typically indicates Redundant Capable, which enhances system reliability in fault-tolerant architectures. It provides excellent isolation, signal fidelity, and diagnostic capabilities—ensuring optimal operation in demanding field conditions.
