RC500 Remote Terminal Unit

Honeywell’s RC500 RTU is a modular and scalable controller capable of all remote automation and control applications.  The RC500, combined with Honeywell’s powerful and feature-rich SCADA products, provides an integrated solution solving complex remote automation requirements.

Multiple RTU Models to Suit Specific Application Needs

• RTU variants are based upon:
  • the number of communication ports needed
  • memory requirements
  • system topology needs
  • protocol needs
  • type of input/output modules needed
• Provides the power of an embedded Linux platform

Endures Tough Environments and Low Power Situations

• Designed to withstand the toughest environments such as in oil and gas applications
• Can operate on very low power suitable for solar power in remote applications

Flexible Communication Ports and Protocol Options

• Variety of communications ports available
• Multiple Ethernet ports enable easy I/O expansion
• Supports industry standard protocols Modbus and DNP3

Simple I/O Transfers Enable Easy Information Exchanges

• Simple and fast configuration of I/O transfers to peer RTUs or within the local RTU itself
• Easy transfer and sharing of information between devices in a large network

Robust Datalogging Ensures Data Availability

• Ensures important field data is never missed and is available for analysis
• Data files can be retrieved and then displayed or imported by many Windows applications
• Datalogging can be continuous or can be triggered by an event

Scalable Architecture and Flexible I/O Expansion Options

• Provides Ethernet I/O options, and a full range of different I/O types
• Full range of digital and analog  I/O and high speed counters
• Redundant power survivability
• Self-resetting fuses
• Independent watchdog for health monitoring
• Easy to view LEDs provide complete status information

RC500 I/O Toolkit Simplifies RTU and I/O Configuration

• Easy-to-use software package for designing, configuring and maintaining RC500 RTUs and I/O
• Optional feature sets add exporting, data logging, and other rich functionalities

ISAGRAF Enables Effective and Fast RTU Programming

• Provides all IEC 61131 standard programming languages
• Graphical programming combines ladder logic with powerful function blocks to give you the simplicity of a PLC, with the performance of a high-end process controller
• Text programming uses simple text that is easy to learn and maintain
• Multi-tasking organization allows Sequential Function Charts to organize your programs into tasks or sequential steps
• Online program changes let you make changes without waiting for shutdowns
• Program simulation shows how your program works before the actual startup, so you can develop and debug your programs quickly and easily
• Direct RC500 tag references appear and flow automatically to your program logic, saving significant programming time
