Interface between Lead/Reserve controllers. Lead/Reserve controllers. Two C75 CPUs, designated “CPU-A” (left), “CPU-B” (right). Two 900P01-xxxx Power Supplies. Figure 8 –...
I/O Expansion Rack I/O expansion ("remote") racks, shown in Figure 9, are available to accommodate additional input/output modules, and/or to enable location of I/O modules close to the process and remote from the controller. For C75/C75S, all I/O is in a rack or racks separate from the controller rack. Scanner type must match controller type.
Rack Options Racks are available in 4-slot, 8-slot, and 12-Slot versions. Racks are interchangeable between the Controller rack and an I/O expansion rack, and all three versions shown in the following figure are available for either purpose. 8 and 12 slot I/O racks can be modified with additional slots for optional Reserve Power Supply and Power Status Module.
Power Supply The P01 Power Supply, shown in Figure 10, provides 5 Vdc and 24 Vdc to the backplane connectors in the local and remote racks. Power Supply is used in each Controller Rack, I/O expansion racks and for all rack versions (4-slot, 8-slot, and 12-Slot).
Power Status Module (PSM) The Power Status Module (PSM) (Figure 12) sits between redundant power supplies on the I/O rack (see page 24). It is a status module for both power supplies and indicates which are in use, PS-1 (left) or PS-2 (right) or both (typical).
Controller Module C30 and C30S, C50 and C50S, C70 and C70S, C75 and C75S Controllers share the same features, with exceptions noted. CPU model number (C30 and C30S, C50 and C50S , C70 and C70S, C75 and C75S). Lithium battery (battery tray), which is readily accessible for field replacement. Battery tray on Controllers C30/C30S, C50/C50S, C70/C70S, and C75/C75S.
Redundancy Switch Module (C75/C75S only) The Redundancy Switch Module (RSM) is shown in Figure 14. It sits between C75/C75S controllers in the redundant controller rack. Left Controller is designated “CPU-A”; right Controller is “CPU-B.” Features include: Lead/Reserve controller status indicators. Keyed switch for manual changes to controller modes or to facilitate a Manual Fail Over.
Scanner 2 Module (S75/S75S only) 900S75, Scanner 2 Module is shown in Figure 16 The dual ports provide redundancy through the 2 CPUs. Features at the front of the module include: LED status/diagnostic indicator for scanner functions. I/O port A. Private Ethernet 10/100 Base-T Port. Connects directly to I/O port on CPU-A (or indirectly through a switch).
For the new system, a PC can be connected to the controller via the RS-485 to USB cable connected to RS485 Port, which can be connected to external Honeywell qualified RS485 to USB converter, and can also be networked to the controller via the Ethernet 10/100Base-T Open Connectivity Network port.
Scanner Module. ATTENTION: For 2 or more I/O expansion racks a switch is required. Use only Honeywell recommended switches (part no. 50008930-001, 50089785-001). The total number of switches is limited to 2 in series between a CPU and its scanners.
Placing the appropriate module type in each slot in each rack. The I/O expansion network uses Honeywell private protocol that optimizes I/O performance and security. The configuration and operation of the I/O expansion network is automatic, it is entirely under control of built-in private software that resides in the Controller Module and in each Scanner Module included in the ControlEdge HC900 system.

Redundant Networks Honeywell Matrikon OPC Server supports redundant networks. Up to 10 connections may be distributed in any combination across the controller’s 2 network ports (E1 and E2). PC hosts may include, for example, HMI supervisory software and/or Designer Software configuration software. Redundant ports may be used in a simplex mode (non-redundant).
Figure 20 – Modular Network Structure Connection to PC Hosts For legacy systems, connection to PC hosts (for example, PCs that include HMI supervisory software and/or Designer Software configuration software) can be via Modbus/TCP as well as serial Modbus RTU over either the RS-485 or RS-232 communications ports.
The ControlEdge HC900 Controller uses either Modbus/TCP or Modbus RTU, not ASCII. The “fixed” Modbus mapping structure for the ControlEdge HC900 Controller is based on the mapping structure employed in Honeywell’s UMC800 Controller, and the function codes and methods for parameter access are also virtually identical. Modbus Maps In your controller’s configuration, certain parameters are each automatically assigned a Modbus address.

Third party Operator Interface Controller can be master to slaves such as Any Honeywell Modbus device (e.g., recorders, controllers, flame safety) Any non-Honeywell Modbus device. Only one master port at a time; can’t have both serial ports as master ports.
Setting serial ports S1 and S2 to RS-232 or galvanically isolated RS-485 For legacy systems, S1serial port default setting is RS-232; S2 serial port default setting is RS-485. Each port can be set to RS-232 or RS-485 (not shown). For new systems, the serial ports S1 and S2 are galvanically isolated RS-485 unterminated (See Table 3 below).
3. Network and Security Planning 3.1. Overview This document contains networking and security-related information applicable to ControlEdge HC900 process & safety controller. It provides information about the recommendations to assist you in planning, setting up, and maintaining a secure environment for your system Assumptions and prerequisites This guide is primarily intended for engineers, system administrators, and other technical staff who are responsible for planning the configuration and maintenance of a ControlEdge HC900 system.

PC installed with HC Designer Protection measure Take steps to implement and enforce physical security. Enable the worksheet protection and enforce a strong password policy. ...
3.4. Physical and Environmental Considerations The physical security of a process control network is particularly important. If the hardware is rendered inoperable, the entire system (and hence the plant) is rendered inoperable. Protecting against unauthorized system access External media drives can enable anyone to bypass Windows security and gain access to your system. If there is an easy access to a computer, and it has a floppy disk or CD drive, it can be booted from an alternative operating system.
Microsoft releases a range of security updates and other operating system and software updates. Note that only Honeywell-qualified Microsoft updates are supported. Therefore, you must wait until Honeywell has validated Microsoft updates before installing them. It is also recommended that you implement a controlled system for the distribution of all updates.

At level 1 network, ControlEdge HC900 controller and Scanners connect to one switch, and it is the most critical network in the system as a failure or loss of service on this network can result in loss of control. At level 2 network, Engineering Workstation, third party devices, HMI, and SCADA connect to the switched of this level.
Recommended network topology with safety peer communication In the ControlEdge HC900 system where safety peer communication is required, it is recommended to have separate peer communication network and add port filtering of peer protocol (UDP port 502) on host communication switch. This ensures that the safety peer communication network is separate from the host network communication.
Communication from Remote location It is not recommended to connect a ControlEdge HC900 controller installed in a remote location to the public network. The communication to ControlEdge HC900 controller installed in a remote location is recommended to be on a private leased line or secured by setting up VPN device external to the ControlEdge HC900.

Removal and Replacement Procedures 12.1. Overview This section contains procedures for removing and replacing the active components of a ControlEdge HC900 Controller. It also includes recommendations, suggestions, and hints as they apply to the circumstances under which the procedures are used. 12.2.
EXPLOSION HAZARD Class 1, Division 2 Installations SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR SUITABILITY FOR CLASS i, DIVISION 2. EXPLOSION HAZARD Class 1, Division 2 Installations Do not DISCONNECT EQUIPMENT UNLESS POWER HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF OR THE AREA IS known not to BE HAZARDOUS. Replacing the Power Supply The power supply for the ControlEdge HC900 Controller is available in two models and is used in the local (controller) rack and in the remote (I/O expansion) racks, in 4-, 8-, and 12-module sizes.
Replacing the Controller Module Removing and replacing the Controller Module requires that that the source of AC power is removed from the rack. Removing power from the Controller rack has the following consequences: All control action stops All power to all I/O modules in the rack is lost; hence all control outputs to the process are lost. Because external power connected to terminal boards (from or to field devices) will still be present, it is essential that field devices are maintained in a safe condition during replacement procedures.
Replacing the Scanner Module Removing and replacing the Scanner Module from an I/O expansion rack (C50, C70, C75 CPU controllers only) requires that the source of AC power is removed from the rack. Removing power from the Expansion rack has the following consequences: ...
All of the I/O Module types in the ControlEdge HC900 Controller System include the Removal and Insertion Under Power (RIUP) feature. That is, while the rack is powered, any of the I/O Modules can be removed or inserted: With no physical damage to the module, to the rack, or to other modules in the rack ...
Table 40 – I/O Module Replacement Step Action Removal or Insertion Under Power of an I/O module is an option, but if operating circumstances permit, disconnecting power from the rack is the preferred option. Plan and develop an action sequence before beginning the replacement procedure. Primary considerations include: When replacing I/O module, the voltages to the modules must be disconnected at the field device before removing the terminal block from the module.

Battery Installation/Replacement Advisory Regarding Battery Installation Memory for the CPU in the Controller Module includes: Volatile memory (SDRAM) and Non-volatile memory (Flash) Only volatile memory requires battery backup. Care during Installation HC900 controller comes with an insulator tab which keeps the front battery disconnected from the controller during the transportation.
Figure 106 – Battery Life in Months Note: The above graph is assuming, Honeywell supplied batteries are New when installed Initialization sequence is followed as described in above paragraph Installing the backup battery when the CPU is not initialized will cause undue battery drain.
Battery Installation Procedures Table 41 – Installing Backup Battery (CPU not initialized) Step Action Improper application of site power can cause damage to equipment. Ensure that the controller rack is ready and safe for application of AC power. Apply site AC power to the Power Supply that is associated with the controller Module. Press the latch on the battery cover (1) to release the battery holder, and pull on the handle (2) to remove the battery holder.
Battery Replacement Procedures Table 42 – Replacing a Backup Battery (CPU Powered)) Step Action If the battery is removed from the Controller Module when AC power is not applied, the content of RAM will be lost. Before beginning this procedure, upload and SAVE a copy of the configuration, or ensure that a previously saved copy of the current configuration is available.
