Honeywell HC900 Controller 900C71-0144-00 CPU Module

Overview

The Honeywell ControlEdge HC900 Controller is an advanced loop and logic controller designed with a modular structure to meet the control and data management requirements of a wide array of process equipment. When used in conjunction with the optional 900 Control Station operator interface, which seamlessly integrates with the controller’s database, configuration and setup times are minimized. This potent combination, coupled with Honeywell’s established control technology, offers users an ideal solution for process control. Furthermore, it provides open Ethernet connectivity via the Modbus TCP Protocol, enabling network access through various HMI/SCADA software solutions. The program execution environment is safeguarded by an independent watchdog timer.

Designer Software

The controller configuration process is made simple through the use of the easy-to-use Windows-based Designer software, which can be operated over Ethernet or RS485 ports (isolated). This software is available in both English and Chinese language versions. It offers advanced monitoring functions for debugging, allows for real-time process configuration adjustments while maintaining process control, facilitates the upload of the complete, annotated graphic controller configuration, and provides a wide range of reports for comprehensive documentation.

ControlEdge HC900 Controller Features

The ControlEdge HC900 Controller delivers superior PID loop control and more robust analog processing compared to most logic controllers, all without compromising logic performance. It achieves this through a separate, high-speed scan cycle that executes a diverse set of logic and calculation function blocks. Additionally, logic blocks can execute in the same scan cycle as analog function blocks for time-critical events. These function blocks can be seamlessly integrated into a unified analog and logic control strategy to ensure uncompromising control performance.
