The 8C-PDILA1 (P/N: 51454471-175) is a high-density Digital Input (DI) module for the Honeywell Experion PKS Series 8 / C300 platform. It monitors discrete field signals such as switch positions, relay contacts, and valve limit states, converting them into logic signals for the controller.
This variant features factory-applied conformal coating (CC) for G3 environmental protection, offering resistance to moisture, dust, and corrosive airborne contaminants. It is ideal for harsh chemical, offshore, or corrosive industrial environments, ensuring long-term module reliability in distributed control systems (DCS).

The 8C-PDILA1 is commonly used in harsh or corrosive industrial sectors, including:
Wastewater treatment plants
Pulp and paper mills
Petrochemical refineries
Its 32-channel capacity enables efficient collection of discrete signals within minimal cabinet space, optimizing installations in remote instrument enclosures (RIEs).
Q: What is the difference between the PDIL51 and 8C-PDILA1?
A: Both modules are 32-channel, 24 VDC Digital Input units, but the 8C-PDILA1 features conformal coating for corrosion protection, whereas the PDIL51 is a standard, non-coated version.
Q: Does this module support Sequence of Events (SOE) monitoring?
A: Yes. When integrated with a C300 controller, the 8C-PDILA1 can timestamp digital state changes with millisecond precision, enabling root-cause analysis and event tracking.
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.
