Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How many input channels does the 621-4500 support?
A1: It supports 16 individual source-type digital input channels.
Q2: Is this module compatible with non-Honeywell systems?
A2: No, it is designed specifically for the Honeywell IPC 620 controller system and communicates over the UCN network.
Q3: Does it support hot-swapping?
A3: No, the module must be installed or removed with power off to avoid damage.
Q4: What kind of input signals can it process?
A4: It is designed for source-type DC digital inputs typically from switches, proximity sensors, or contact closures.
Q5: Are the input channels isolated?
A5: Yes, the channels are electrically isolated to prevent cross-interference.
Q6: Where does the module receive power from?
A6: It draws power from the I/O backplane within the 621 I/O rack.
Q7: Can this module be used in hazardous environments?
A7: It should be installed in industrial cabinets approved for the environment; it is not intrinsically safe by itself.
Q8: How is the health or status of inputs indicated?
A8: Each channel includes an LED that indicates the ON/OFF status.
Q9: Is programming required for installation?
A9: Configuration is typically done via the system processor or loader terminal, not at the module level.
Q10: Can the 621-4500 module be replaced without reprogramming the controller?
A10: Yes, as long as the replacement module is of the same type and installed in the same slot, no reprogramming is required. The controller will recognize it automatically during the next startup or scan cycle.
