Honeywell 621-1100 Digital Input Module

Product Introduction

The Honeywell 621-1100 Digital Input Module is a robust, high-performance component designed for use in Honeywell’s TDC 3000 and PlantScape Distributed Control Systems (DCS). This module enables direct acquisition of binary (on/off) signals from field devices such as switches, limit sensors, interlocks, and alarms.

With 16 individually isolated channels, the 621-1100 provides real-time detection of field signals, enhancing system responsiveness and operational reliability. Its compact design, diagnostic capabilities, and seamless integration into Honeywell process control architectures make it an essential choice for industrial applications requiring dependable discrete signal monitoring.

Engineered to function in harsh industrial environments, the 621-1100 ensures system integrity through optical isolation, signal filtering, and redundant communication support. It is a proven solution for high-availability control systems where accuracy, speed, and diagnostics are critical.
