Introduction - Feature Summary
The HC900 Controller design enables users and OEMs who are adept in system integration to assemble a system that fits a broad range of requirements. Any configuration can be readily modified or expanded as requirements dictate. In initial configuration and in subsequent modifications, the HC900 Controller affords an optimum balance of performance and economy.
Configurations such as those shown in Figure 1 and in Figure 2, as well as many variations, can be assembled from modular components. Many of the components are available from Honeywell, and some are available from
As indicated in Figure 2, the HC900 Controller includes provisions for communication via Ethernet with host systems such as the Honeywell PlantScape HMI and other HMI software that supports Ethernet Modbus/TCP protocol. Also, the communication structure of the HC900 Controller enables remote placement of input/output components, allowing significant economies in cabling and wiring.
