The Honeywell 8C-SDOX01 51307051-175 is a digital output module designed for use within the Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) and C300/C200 I/O subsystem architectures. This module is a vital component for sending control signals to field devices that require a binary (ON/OFF) actuation. Typical connected devices include solenoid valves, relays, contactors, and interlock circuits.

This module provides 8 discrete output channels, each capable of sourcing 24 VDC outputs to drive digital loads. With a compact form factor and superior diagnostics capability, the 8C-SDOX01 is particularly well-suited for demanding industrial environments, such as chemical plants, oil refineries, and power generation units. It is hot-swappable and comes equipped with built-in fault detection and protection circuitry, ensuring long-term operation and easy maintenance.
