The Honeywell 621-0071 Logic Manager Module is a core component of Honeywell’s TDC 2000/3000 Distributed Control Systems (DCS), serving as a high-reliability logic processing unit. Designed to execute discrete and sequential control strategies, the 621-0071 enables deterministic, high-speed logic operations essential to critical plant operations.

This module acts as a central controller in systems that require rapid decision-making, event handling, and interlock processing. It communicates seamlessly with I/O modules and other system processors through the Honeywell Universal Control Network (UCN), ensuring robust and timely data exchange.

Ideal for applications involving interlocks, equipment protection, and sequence control, the 621-0071 is a foundational logic processor in the Honeywell control ecosystem. With built-in diagnostics, high-speed logic execution, and integration with the PlantScape and TDC platforms, it delivers reliability, flexibility, and long-term support in industrial environments.
