The 8C-PAIMA1 (P/N: 51454473-175) is a specialized high-density analog input module developed for the Honeywell C300 controller platform. As a key member of the Experion PKS Series 8 I/O family, it provides a precise and reliable interface between industrial field sensors and the control system, converting analog process signals into high-resolution digital data.
A major technical advantage of the 8C-PAIMA1 is its native HART protocol support, enabling direct digital communication with smart field devices. This allows access to secondary variables and diagnostic information without additional hardware. Its compact slimline design, combined with built-in fault detection, makes it well suited for high-availability process control environments.

The 8C-PAIMA1 is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, and energy industries, where accurate measurement and device health visibility are critical. It is particularly effective in control loops using smart transmitters to monitor:
Pressure
Flow
Level
while simultaneously providing diagnostic and status data for predictive maintenance.
Q: What is the primary benefit of the 8C-PAIMA1 in a C300 system?
A: The module enables direct HART communication with smart instruments, allowing remote diagnostics, configuration, and monitoring without manual field intervention.
Q: Can the 8C-PAIMA1 be used in redundant I/O configurations?
A: Yes. When installed on a redundant Series 8 IOTA, two 8C-PAIMA1 modules can operate as a redundant pair, ensuring continuous signal availability during a hardware failure.
Our production line was down due to a faulty Bently Nevada monitor. We found it in stock here and they shipped it via DHL immediately. Back in operation within 48 hours—truly a lifesaver for our plant.
Finding brand new, original modules is critical for our safety. This team delivers factory-fresh components with full certification. Their commitment to only selling new products makes them our most trusted partner.
We have sourced Honeywell and Schneider parts here for two years. Every shipment arrives well-packaged with original factory seals intact. Clear communication and the best lead times in the industry.
