The Honeywell C200 and C200E controllers are advanced tools for industrial process control. Here's what you need to know:
Overview:
- These controllers are compact yet powerful, designed for industrial process control tasks.
- Like the C300 and the ACE node, They ensure precise execution of control strategies through Honeywell's Control Execution Environment (CEE) software.
- Engineers can easily program control logic using the integrated function block library.
Operational Mechanism:
- Engineers program control logic using the function block library within the CEE software.
- The C200/C200E executes these strategies reliably based on a predefined schedule.
- They communicate with various input/output (I/O) modules and protocols to gather data and send control signals.
Problem Resolution:
- Ideal for tasks like temperature regulation, pressure management, and flow control.
- The C200E supports ISA S88.01 batch control standards, enabling seamless batch processing.
- With Honeywell's Profit Loop technology, they can anticipate future process behavior for precise adjustments.
Additional Insights:
- The C200E offers enhanced functionality and memory compared to the C200.
- Both controllers are compatible with Honeywell I/O modules and communication protocols.
- They can be configured for single or redundant setups based on reliability needs.
Honeywell's C200 controller models are identified by codes starting with either "TC" or "TK," followed by specific characters and numbers. These codes offer insights into the controller's features and setup. Here's a breakdown:
TC Prefix:
- Indicates a C200 controller with a Control Processor (CP) module.
TK Prefix:
- Indicates a C200 controller without a Control Processor (CP) module. In these cases, the controller's functionality depends on the installed I/O and specialty modules.
Following Characters and Numbers:
- Module Type: The next character(s) typically denote the module type:
- PRR: Network and Specialty I/O Module
- PRS: System Controller Module
- TBN: Base Unit Module
- TDO: Digital Output Module
- TDI: Digital Input Module
- MUX: Control Processor Module (for TK models)
- Module Revision: A number or letter may follow to indicate the module's revision.
Additional Information:
- Some models may include extra characters or numbers at the end, providing specific details like the number of I/O points or other configurations.
Examples:
- TC-PRR021: C200 controller with a Network and Specialty I/O Module, revision 021
- TK-MUX021: C200 controller without a CP module, Control Processor Module (MUX) revision 021
- TC-TBNH: C200 controller with a Base Unit Module, revision H
