Features:
- Combines analog and digital field points in one module.
- Handles 0-20.47 mA input and output loops.
- Provides eight bidirectional inputs and eight sourcing outputs.
The Horner HE800MIX902 concentrates process measurement and discrete control in one SmartStack location, reducing the number of separate I/O modules needed on a compact machine.
Its current channels and digital banks use different supply and common arrangements, so field documentation should show their return paths separately even though they share one module.
Conversion occurs with the controller scan, while discrete response is specified independently; control logic should therefore account for the different timing of analog values and on/off points.
The Horner HE800MIX902 Mixed Analog and Digital I/O Module may still be available for purchase and support from Apter Power beyond End-Of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer (OEM).

- Current Inputs: Four 0-20.47 mA channels bring process transmitters into the controller with 12-bit conversion during the scan.
- Current Outputs: Two analog outputs drive compatible current loops, but each loop depends on an external 4-30 VDC supply.
- Signal Returns: Keeping analog commons and shield routing controlled reduces the chance that switching currents distort low-level measurements.
- Bidirectional Inputs: Eight 12-24 VDC points accept field state through a shared common, supporting common machine sensors within one bank.
- Sourcing Outputs: Eight channels supply positive field voltage to loads and therefore require compatible load polarity and return wiring.
- Load Behavior: Output selection must consider both normal current and turn-on inrush so a valid steady load does not exceed the switching limit at startup.
- Conversion Method: Successive-approximation conversion provides a defined digital representation of each current input instead of a threshold-only indication.
- Input Protection: The documented input network includes resistance and clamping behavior, but external wiring must still prevent sustained overcurrent.
- Scan Timing: Analog updates follow the controller scan, so fast process changes may need logic that distinguishes update rate from electrical bandwidth.
- Compact Process Skids: Current transmitters, valves and local switches can be served from one stack position when point counts fit the module.
- Utility Panels: Mixed measurement and discrete control suit small pump, temperature or pressure panels with limited expansion space.
- Retrofit Consolidation: A replacement design can reduce separate analog and digital modules if commons, supplies and controller mapping are reviewed together.
