Honeywell offers a vast range of controller modules across its Process Solutions (DCS) and Building Technologies (BMS) divisions. The following summary focuses on two major industrial controllers: the Experion PKS C300 Controller (a DCS controller) and the ControlEdge HC900 Hybrid Controller (a process and logic controller).

Experion PKS C300 Controller Module

Product DetailsThe C300 Controller is the core component of Honeywell's Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS) Distributed Control System (DCS). It deterministically executes control strategies, manages batch operations, and interfaces with various types of Input/Output (I/O) devices. It is built on Honeywell's proprietary and robust Control Execution Environment (CEE) software. The module fits into a specialized Series C chassis and utilizes Input Output Termination Assemblies (IOTAs) for field wiring.

Product Parameters

Form Factor: Series C chassis-mounted module.
Control Environment: Control Execution Environment (CEE), ensuring deterministic and robust control execution.
User Memory: Typically up to 32,768 Memory Units (MU).
Control Blocks: Supports up to 4095 Tagged Blocks (Function Blocks).
Scan Rate/Switchover Time: Fast scan rates (e.g., 50 ms) and quick switchover time for redundancy (e.g., ~500 ms).
Redundancy: Supports 1:1 redundancy for critical applications (Controller Redundancy).
Protocols: Supports open industrial protocols including CDA peer-to-peer, Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE), EtherNet/IP, Foundation Fieldbus, Modbus/TCP, Profibus, and Profinet.
Time Synchronization: Supports Precision Time Protocol (PTP, IEEE 1588) for highly precise time synchronization.
Environmental: Wide operating temperature range (e.g., –40 to +70°C).

Product Advantages

High Reliability & Determinism: The CEE provides a proven, deterministic software environment essential for robust process control, maximizing process uptime.
Integrated Control & Safety: Seamlessly integrates with safety systems (SIS) and can directly integrate ISA100 Wireless field devices into the control strategy.
Advanced Control: Includes advanced algorithms like Profit Loop, a patented model-predictive function block, for optimal process regulation.
Cybersecurity: Designed with modern cybersecurity standards (such as ANSI ISA 62443) in mind, especially when integrated with Experion PKS.
Engineering Efficiency: Features like Template Support and Bulk Build/Edit improve engineering productivity and simplify maintenance.

Important Considerations

DCS Environment: Primarily used in a full DCS architecture (Experion PKS). It is not a standalone controller.
Proprietary Core: Relies on Honeywell’s proprietary CEE, which requires specialized training and engineering tools for configuration.
Scalability: While powerful, it is typically used for large, critical, and complex continuous or batch process control applications.

Product Applications

Continuous Process Control: Oil & Gas, Chemicals, Petrochemicals.
Batch Operations: Pharmaceuticals, Fine Chemicals, Food & Beverage.
Power Generation: Turbine control and auxiliary plant control.
Metals & Mining: Process regulation and system management.

ControlEdge HC900 Hybrid Controller Module

Product DetailsThe HC900 is a modular, scalable hybrid controller that excels at simultaneously performing both process control (PID loops, ramping) and logic control (PLC functionality). It is designed to be a cost-effective solution for a wide range of process equipment, particularly those involving thermal processes. It replaces the need for separate dedicated loop controllers and conventional PLCs.

Product Parameters

Design: Modular and scalable with multiple rack sizes and CPU performance levels.
Functionality: Integrates PID loop control, logic control, and ramp/soak programming in a single platform.
I/O: Supports up to 256 isolated, universal analog inputs per system, offering high flexibility.
Accuracy: Features ultra-high measurement accuracy, typically at a ±0.1% level.
Logic Speed: Fast updates for both logic (e.g., 27 ms) and analog (e.g., 0.5 sec) processing.
Safety Certification: TÜV certified for use in safety applications up to SIL2 (Safety Integrity Level 2).
Protocols: Open Ethernet connectivity using protocols like Modbus TCP/IP, Ethernet/IP, and OPC UA.

Product Advantages

Hybrid Control: Performing logic and process control in one box significantly reduces hardware costs, wiring complexity, and engineering time compared to using separate PLC and PID controllers.
Thermal Process Expertise: Superior performance in PID loop control and robust analog processing, making it ideal for boilers, furnaces, and kilns.
Safety Integration: Built-in SIL2 safety capability allows for use in critical applications like Emergency Shutdown Systems (ESD) and Burner Management Systems (BMS).
Energy Efficiency: Refined control algorithms can improve heating and combustion efficiency, leading to a measurable reduction in energy consumption.
Ease of Use: Features user-friendly, Windows-based configuration software and optional touchscreen operator interfaces for intuitive handling.

Important Considerations

Mid-Size Applications: Most suitable for small to mid-size control applications, unit operations, and equipment-level control rather than plant-wide DCS.
Commissioning: While easy to configure, proper tuning of the advanced PID and ramp/soak features is crucial for optimal performance.

Product Applications

Thermal Control: Boilers, industrial furnaces, kilns, heat treating, and dryers.
Specialized Machinery: Machine and equipment level control in manufacturing.
Unit Operations: Managing discrete process units in Pharmaceuticals, Fine Chemicals, and Biofuels.
Critical Infrastructure: Safety shutdown systems, burner management systems, and tunnel ventilation requiring SIL2 compliance.
