Description
Honeywell PCD2.M110 – Modular PLC CPU for Saia PCD2 Control Systems
The Honeywell (Saia) PCD2.M110 is a dependable CPU module designed for the PCD2 family—ideal when you need a stable PLC core with flexible, card-based I/O. From my experience, it’s often chosen for machine control and utilities upgrades where longevity and serviceability matter more than flashy features. You get a compact controller that slots into the PCD2 base, runs reliably in typical industrial environments, and supports straightforward serial communications for plant integration.

Technical Specifications
| Brand / Model | Honeywell (Saia) PCD2.M110 |
| HS Code | 8537.10 (Programmable controllers) |
| Power Requirements | 24 VDC supplied via PCD2 base power system (CPU consumption typical for this series; depends on configuration) |
| Dimensions & Weight | Compact CPU module for PCD2 rack footprint; DIN-rail/base-mounted (no onboard I/O) |
| Operating Temperature | Typically 0 to 55 °C for cabinet installations |
| Signal I/O Types | No onboard I/O; supports PCD2 digital, analog, and relay I/O modules on the same base |
| Communication Interfaces | Serial communication commonly used (S‑Bus/Modbus RTU in many cases); expansion via optional communication modules depending on project |
| Installation Method | Mounted on PCD2 base carrier within a DIN-rail control cabinet |
Where it fits best
You might notice that the PCD2.M110 shines in established facilities where existing PCD2 racks and I/O are already installed—food & beverage skids, building subsystems, utilities side panels, and OEM machines that value service continuity. A maintenance lead at a water treatment site told me they appreciate how fast a swap goes: “We kept the wiring untouched, slid in the CPU, reloaded the program, and we were back online before the next batch cycle.”
Related or Supporting Products
- PCD2.M120 – Similar PCD2-series CPU with incremental performance differences; useful when standard serial connectivity and modular I/O are sufficient.
- PCD2.M170 – Higher-capability PCD2 CPU variant often selected when more program space or advanced comms are needed.
- PCD1.M2120 – Compact controller alternative for space-constrained panels; typically with integrated I/O.
- PCD3.M5340 – Newer-generation Saia CPU for modernization projects; commonly includes integrated Ethernet and faster processing.
If you’re extending an existing PCD2 installation, keeping the same base and adding appropriate digital/analog I/O cards usually offers the fastest path with the least wiring changes.
Installation & Maintenance
- Cabinet standards: Install on a DIN rail inside an enclosed control cabinet (IP54 or better recommended). Allow airflow around the CPU and I/O.
- Power & grounding: Use a clean 24 VDC supply on the PCD2 base; bond the cabinet ground and follow EMC wiring practices (twisted pair for serial, segregate I/O and power).
- Wiring: Keep serial cable runs short and shielded; terminate RS‑485 where applicable. Label I/O slots to simplify service.
- Safety: De-energize the panel before inserting/removing modules. Observe ESD handling procedures.
- Routine maintenance: Back up the application program, check terminal tightness quarterly, and clean dust from vents. Firmware updates are occasionally released—schedule them during planned downtime.
- Commissioning tip: Typically, it helps to validate serial baud/format early; most startup issues I see trace back to mismatched serial settings or missing termination.
Quality & Certifications
- Certifications: CE compliant; UL/cUL and RoHS conformity are commonly provided for Saia PCD controllers in this class.
- Manufacturer warranty: 12 months standard (our sales guarantee: 365-day warranty on supply).
- Traceability: Supplied new or professionally refurbished (as specified in quotation) with test reports when applicable.
If you’re replacing an in-service PCD2.M110, send a quick note about your current base and I/O mix; we can match compatibility and confirm lead time before you schedule downtime.
