The Honeywell TC-IXL061 is a 6-point thermocouple input module built for precise temperature measurement in industrial control systems. This module delivers 16-bit resolution with 1.4 µV typical sensitivity, making it suitable for demanding process applications. Specifically, it supports thermocouple types B, E, J, K, R, S, T, N, and C across a standard input range of -12 mV to +78 mV. Additionally, a high-resolution range of -12 mV to +30 mV provides 0.70 µV sensitivity for low-level signal measurement. The TC-IXL061 includes one cold junction channel for reference temperature compensation. Furthermore, its robust isolation design and 120 dB common mode rejection ensure stable readings in electrically noisy environments. Honeywell has officially replaced this module with the TC-IXL062, so buyers should note the wiring changes required during upgrades.
The Honeywell TC-IXL061 provides six input channels plus one cold junction channel. Its nominal input voltage ranges cover -12 mV to +78 mV and -12 mV to +30 mV for high-resolution work. Resolution reaches 16 bits with 1.4 µV typical sensitivity, while the high-resolution range achieves 0.70 µV. Accuracy at 25°C is ±0.1% FSR ±90 µV on the standard range and ±0.1% FSR ±42 µV on the high-resolution range. Moreover, cold junction accuracy varies from ±0.3 to ±3.0°C depending on the channel for the local sensor, while the remote sensor holds ±0.3°C. The module achieves 120 dB common mode rejection at 60 Hz and 100 dB at 50 Hz. Its update rate for all channels is 50 milliseconds, with settling time to 5% of full scale under 80 milliseconds. Besides, open circuit detection reads upscale within 5 seconds typical. The channel bandwidth spans 0 to 15 Hz at -3 dB, and normal mode noise rejection is 60 dB at 60 Hz. RFI immunity keeps error below 2.0% of range at 10 V/m from 27 to 1000 MHz. Overvoltage capability reaches 120 VAC/VDC continuous at 25°C, and input offset drift is 0.5 µV/°C typical. Gain drift is 65 ppm/°C typical, power dissipation is 4.3 W maximum, and input impedance exceeds 10 MΩ. Isolation is 100% tested at 2546 VDC for 1 second on both channel-to-channel and user-to-system paths.
The TC-IXL061 connects through a TC-TBNH 20-position terminal block. To maintain ±3°C (±5°F) reference junction compensation, mount the chassis in a NEMA 4 or NEMA 12 enclosure approximately 24 in. (610 mm) wide, 20 in. (508 mm) high, and 8 in. (203 mm) deep. The module uses a spare CJR thermistor with model number TC-CJRT01 (part no. 51109433-100). Power dissipation peaks at 4.3 W maximum, so adequate cabinet ventilation is important.
Installing the Honeywell TC-IXL061 requires attention to enclosure and wiring details. First, mount the chassis inside a NEMA 4 or NEMA 12 enclosure sized to hold reference junction compensation within ±3°C. Next, connect the TC-TBNH 20-position terminal block securely to the module. Then, wire the thermocouple inputs according to the supported types B, E, J, K, R, S, T, N, and C. Additionally, install the TC-CJRT01 spare thermistor in its designated position for cold junction reference. Ensure all field wiring uses proper shielding to preserve the 120 dB common mode rejection rating. The module tolerates 120 VAC/VDC continuous overvoltage at 25°C, so verify field wiring stays within this limit. Finally, confirm backplane current against the module power consumption data before applying power.
Honeywell has replaced the TC-IXL061 with the TC-IXL062. When swapping an old unit for the newer module, technicians must rewire the terminal block. Furthermore, systems using an RTP require a new pre-wire cable. Therefore, plan upgrade work accordingly to avoid commissioning delays. The newer module also adds support for D and L thermocouple types and uses two cold junction channels instead of one.

Q1: Is the TC-IXL061 still available?
A: Honeywell has replaced the TC-IXL061 with the TC-IXL062. Limited stock may remain, but new designs should specify the newer module.
Q2: What changes are needed when upgrading to the TC-IXL062?
A: The upgrade requires rewiring the terminal block. Moreover, systems using an RTP need a new pre-wire cable before installation.
Q3: Which thermocouple types does the TC-IXL061 support?
A: The module supports B, E, J, K, R, S, T, N, and C types. Note that D and L types are only available on the replacement TC-IXL062 module.
Q4: What enclosure does Honeywell recommend for this module?
A: Mount the chassis in a NEMA 4 or NEMA 12 enclosure about 24 in. wide, 20 in. high, and 8 in. deep. This keeps reference junction compensation within ±3°C.
Q5: What shipping methods are available?
A: We ship the Honeywell TC-IXL061 via Fedex, UPS, and DHL. Besides, every order includes anti-static packaging to protect sensitive electronics in transit.
