ControlEdge HC900 Controller

Honeywell ControlEdge™ HC900 is an advanced loop and logic controller with a modular, rack-based design sized to satisfy a wide range of process equipment. It combines superior PID loop control with robust discrete logic in a single execution environment, supports redundant and non-redundant architectures, Safety Universal I/O, and open Ethernet communications via Modbus/TCP. Windows-based Designer software simplifies configuration with run-mode changes, advanced monitoring, and graphic function block programming.
