Honeywell 2MLQ-TR4B – 4-Channel Transistor Output Module | TDC 3000 DCS Platform
Engineering Background: The Honeywell 2MLQ-TR4B is a digital transistor output module designed for the Honeywell TDC 3000 Distributed Control System (DCS). It provides reliable NPN open-collector transistor switching outputs for discrete field device control in process automation environments. This module is a critical interface component between the DCS controller and field actuators, solenoids, and relay coils in continuous process industries.
Product Positioning: Targeted at procurement engineers and MRO buyers maintaining legacy TDC 3000 installations in refining, petrochemical, power generation, and chemical processing plants. The 2MLQ-TR4B is a direct OEM replacement module, ensuring full backward compatibility with existing I/O racks and system configurations without requiring software reconfiguration.

System Architecture & Signal Flow
The 2MLQ-TR4B resides in the Honeywell TDC 3000 I/O subsystem rack, receiving discrete output commands from the High-Performance Process Manager (HPM) or Basic Process Manager (BPM) controller via the Local Control Network (LCN) or Universal Control Network (UCN). Each of the 4 output channels drives an NPN transistor switch that sinks current through the connected field device (solenoid, relay coil, or indicator lamp). The module interfaces directly with the I/O rack backplane, drawing logic power from the rack power supply while switching field-side 24 VDC loads. Field wiring connects via the module’s front-face terminal connector to the marshalling cabinet or field junction box.

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the 2MLQ-TR4B compatible with both HPM and BPM controllers in TDC 3000?
A: Yes. The module is a standard TDC 3000 I/O rack card and is compatible with all TDC 3000 process manager variants that support the standard I/O subsystem.
Q: Can this module be used in a Safety Manager (SM) or FSC system?
A: No. The 2MLQ-TR4B is a standard (non-SIL-rated) output module for the TDC 3000 process control system. It is not certified for use in Honeywell Safety Manager or FSC safety instrumented systems.
Q: What is the output load capacity per channel?
A: Refer to the Honeywell TDC 3000 I/O Module Specification document for the 2MLQ series. Contact Konmask technical support for assistance locating the applicable datasheet.
Q: Do you provide a test report or functional verification certificate?
A: Yes, upon request. Functional test reports are available for refurbished units. Please specify this requirement at time of order.
Q: What are the shipping lead times?
A: In-stock units ship within 2–3 business days. International express delivery (DHL/FedEx) typically 3–7 business days to most destinations.
