- Automatic Cold Junction Compensation: Eliminates external reference junction hardware, improving measurement accuracy in variable ambient conditions
- Hot-Swap Capable: Supports online replacement within PM I/O chassis without process shutdown (with redundant configuration)
- Diagnostics & HART Transparency: Built-in open-wire detection and channel-level fault reporting to Experion operator station
- Backward Compatibility: Direct replacement for legacy TPS PM I/O installations; no firmware upgrade required in most configurations
System Architecture & Signal Flow
The MC-TAIH54 installs into a standard Honeywell PM I/O chassis and communicates over the proprietary I/O Link bus to the Process Manager (PM) controller card. Signal flow is as follows:
- Field thermocouple wires terminate at the module’s field termination assembly (FTA) or marshalling cabinet
- Multiplexer sequentially samples each channel at the configured scan rate
- 16-bit ADC converts the millivolt signal with cold-junction compensation applied
- Linearized engineering-unit value transmitted over I/O Link to PM controller
- PM controller executes configured control strategy (PID, cascade, ratio) and reports to Experion server
- Operator station displays real-time trend and alarm status via Experion HMI
Sourcing & Quality Verification

Technical FAQ
Q: Is the MC-TAIH54 compatible with Experion R500 and later releases?
A: Yes. The module is backward compatible with Experion PKS R400 through R500+ when used within a PM I/O chassis. Consult Honeywell release notes for any firmware dependencies.
Q: Can this module replace the MC-TAIH52 or MC-TAIH51?
A: The MC-TAIH54 is a higher-density variant. Physical form factor is identical, but channel count and firmware configuration differ. Verify compatibility with your PM controller revision before substitution.
Q: What is the lead time for in-stock units?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock items, typical lead time is 2–4 weeks depending on sourcing channel.
Q: Do you provide a warranty?
A: Yes. Konmask.com provides a 90-day functional warranty on all modules. Extended warranty options are available upon request.
Q: Can I return a module if it does not fit my system?
A: Returns are accepted within 30 days of receipt for unused, unopened modules in original packaging. Contact support@konmask.com to initiate an RMA.
