Honeywell ControlEdge HC900 Controller
Description
The Honeywell ControlEdge HC900 Controller is an advanced loop and logic controller offering a modular design sized to satisfy the control and data management needs of a wide range of process equipment. When combined with the optional 900 Control Station operator Interface that is highly integrated with the controller’s database, configuration and setup time is minimized. This powerful combination together with Honeywell’s performance proven control technology provides users an ideal solution for process control. Open Ethernet connectivity with Modbus TCP Protocol also allows network access using a variety of HMI/SCADA software. Program execution environment is protected using an independent watchdog timer.
Easy-to-use Windows-based Designer software, operable over Ethernet or RS485 port (isolated) simplifies controller configuration. The software is available in English and Chinese language version. It provides advanced monitoring functions for debug, allows run-mode process configuration changes while maintaining process control, uploads the complete, annotated graphic controller configuration, plus supplies an array of reports for enhanced documentation. The ControlEdge HC900 Controller provides superior PID loop control and more robust analog processing than most logic controllers without compromising logic performance. A separate, fast scan cycle executes a rich assortment of logic and calculation function blocks. Logic blocks may also execute in the same scan with analog function blocks for time critical events. These function blocks may be fully integrated into a combined analog and logic control strategy for uncompromising control performance.
Controller：
• The rack based ControlEdge HC900 Controller is available in 4 rack sizes with 1, 4, 8 or 12 I/O slots each to support a wide range of requirements.
• Redundant C75 controllers use a separate controller rack for CPUs without local I/O. Two power supplies provide separate CPU power. A redundant controller switch module provides status and performs mode changes.
CPU Modules：
• The CPU options available for the ControlEdge HC900 Controller include:
▪ C30 and C50 for non-redundant applications.
▪ C70 for dual networking.
▪ C75 for redundant CPU applications and dual networking.
▪ All ControlEdge HC900 CPU modules are based on the e300 32 Bit RISC based PowerPC Architecture. The controller operates out of a battery-backed DDR2 64MB memory for C30 and C50 modules, 128MB for C70 and C75 modules. DDR2 memory on all modules is supported with ECC circuitry to enhance reliability and error detection. Program execution environment is protected using an independent watchdog timer.
• All ControlEdge HC900 CPU modules offer open Ethernet communications for access by a variety of HMI and SCADA software applications and peer to peer communications for control data exchanges between controllers. The C70 and C75 provide dual Ethernet ports for high network availability installations.
• ControlEdge HC900 CPU modules use a dual scan method to handle fast digital scanning and normal analog input scanning in the same integrated control environment. Both scans support a wide range of computational function block algorithms and a user adjustable execution sequence order.
• ControlEdge HC900 CPUs use Flash memory for permanent user configuration program storage and battery-backed memory for dynamic data storage allowing for graceful recovery following a power interruption or other discontinuous operations. Using proven TL5903 primary batteries to support up to 24 days of continuous power outages
• 5000 SOE event buffering capability
I/O Scanners：
ControlEdge HC900 Remote I/O is processed and communicated to the main CPU module through a remote I/O Scanner module. Two I/O scanner modules are available: a single port model for non-redundant CPU systems and a dual port model for redundant CPU systems. Scanner addressing in multi-rack systems is selectable via DIP switch setting. Program execution environment is protected using an independent watchdog timer.
Inputs and Outputs – A variety of I/O modules are available for selection in creating a custom control solution. These include:
• 8-point universal analog input modules: Inputs may be mixed on a module and may include multiple thermocouple types, RTDs, ohms, voltage, current or millivoltage types – all easily assigned using the Designer configuration tool. High point-to-point isolation simplifies installation and saves the expense of external isolation hardware.
• 16-point high level analog input module: each point is configurable for V or mA. Point-to-point isolation.
• 4-point galvanically isolated analog output module: Supports from 0 to 20mA each.
• 8-point analog output module. Galvanically isolated in two groups of 4. Supports 0 to 20mA.
• 16-point (14-point for redundant configuration) Universal I/O module galvanically isolated Input/ Output to chassis. Each point can configured as DI, DO, AI or AO.
• 16-point digital galvanically isolated AC/DC input module.
• 16-point analog output module. Galvanically isolated in four groups of 4. Supports 0 to 20mA.
• 16-point digital galvanically isolated input modules: Contact closure type, DC voltage and AC voltage types.
• 32-point galvanically isolated digital input (sink) module: DC voltage
• 8-point AC or 16 point galvanically isolated DC digital output (sink) modules
• 32-point galvanically isolated digital output (source): DC voltage
• 8-point galvanically isolated high voltage
• 8-point galvanically isolated relay output module: four form C type and four forms A type relays.
• 4 channel Pulse/ Frequency/Quadrature I/O module
Insert & removal of I/O under power – For ease of maintenance, the ControlEdge HC900 controller supports removing and inserting modules from the card rack without removing power from the controller. Each card is sensed for validity by the controller and auto-configured on insertion. Hardware can be replaced without shutting down operations for replacement of CPU or Scanner modules thus reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.
I/O Terminal Blocks – 20-screw Terminal Blocks are available with either barrier style or Euro style screw connections. A module label area is provided for field wiring identification. An available 36-screw Euro Terminal block is required for certain high capacity modules.
Remote I/O – I/O racks may be remotely mounted from the controller via a dedicated Ethernet 10/100Base-T connection at up to 300 meters (984 feet) between the controller and the most remote rack using two Ethernet switches. Use of fiber optic cable extends distance to 40 Kilometers.
Remote Terminal Panels – Optional DIN rail mounted Remote Terminal Panels (RTPs) are available for use with pre-wired cables to reduce installation time and labor expense. RTP types available: analog input, relay output, discrete input, discrete output, analog output. Three cable lengths are also available to match hardware to installation variations. See Module Specification sheet 51-52-03-41 for more details.
Redundant Power – A second (backup) power module may be added to each ControlEdge HC900 controller rack. An extended rack is available that expands the standard 8 and 12 I/O rack to accommodate a second (redundant) power supply and power status module.
