Honeywell’s ControlEdge RTU process controller helps manage complex remote automation applications

The Honeywell ControlEdge RTU process controller, available from Thermo-Kinetics

For the best in measurement instruments and more, Canadian businesses are smart to trust Thermo-Kinetics Measurement & Control. The company offers top products from manufacturers like Honeywell, which makes the powerful ControlEdge RTU process controller. This modular, scalable controller can handle all remote automation and control applications, even in harsh work environments.

The ControlEdge RTU process controller offers an integrated solution for solving complex remote automation requirements for distributed equipment, in conjunction with Honeywell’s SCADA products. It is particularly recommended for oil and gas applications, like well-head monitoring, gas-flow metering, block-valve automation, and pump and compressor control.

Remote monitoring and asset management

The RTU gives companies an edge into finding the best use for their distributed assets via efficient remote monitoring, diagnostic, and asset-management capabilities. Honeywell has designed it for easy deployment at remote sites and to enable remote maintenance, which eliminates physical trips to the field. Used with Experion SCADA, the RTU helps the user visualize how to simplify field-asset management, while lowering configuration time by four-fifths.

Some of the top features of the ControlEdge RTU process controller include:

• Operation in harsh work environments with low power consumption;
• High availability through native controller redundancy, with no switch for I/O communication necessary;
• Hart-enabled onboard I/O and expansion I/O modules;
• Removable and plug-in terminal blocks that simplify wiring and save cabinet-assembly time;
• Onboard wireless I/O solution that requires no specialized modules for integrating ISA100 instruments;
• Built-in HART I/O and ISA100 field instrument integration with Field Device manager;
• Efficient remote management across hundreds to thousands of RTUs; and
• Electronic Flow Metering capability for gases and liquids.

The ControlEdge RTU from Thermo-Kinetics provides flexible communication to enable deployment in a broad range of network types. Critical data can be stored locally during communication outages or periods of low bandwidth. This device can help plants manage complex remote automation and control applications as it converts information from complex automation systems into relevant, actionable data. By reducing travel to the field, the RTU lowers equipment-monitoring and diagnostic time to mere minutes.
