Components and Architecture Overview This section provides a description of each of the major components that can be included in an HC900 Controller physical configuration, and indicates some of the methods by which they can be combined. Components The Honeywell HC900 Hybrid Controller includes a set of hardware modules that can be combined and configured as required for a wide range of small to medium process control applications.
RS-232 port on any (one) Controller module. Includes Honeywell Hybrid Control Designer (configuration software). (Optional) PC link to Ethernet network, which may include other HMIs, other HC900 Controllers, and other networks (including Internet). Typically includes HMI operating software. May also include Hybrid Control Designer (configuration tool and utility software).
Hardware Components This section contains general descriptions of each of the major components of the HC900 system. For environmental specifications, refer to the section on Pre-Installation Planning. HC900 Controller Rack An HC900 Controller ("local rack") is shown in Figure 4.

Ethernet device requirements vary with specific applications. Regarding intended use, however, they fall into two categories: • Components of the Ethernet Open Connectivity Network, which links an HC900 Hybrid Controller to Peers, to HMI Supervisory Stations, and to other Ethernet 10Base-T devices that support TCP/IP.
Controller Module and in each Scanner Module included in the HC900 system. The controller examines the control strategy stored in its memory, verifies that the physical configuration (Rack Numbers, and I/O Module type- by Module Number) matches the stored control strategy, and establishes communication with each of the I/O modules in each of the I/O racks.

The HC900 Controller must be mounted in suitable equipment enclosures. That is, all components such as the Controller rack, IO Expander Racks, and the Operator Interface manufactured by Honeywell must be mounted in approved furniture designed for industrial applications. Orientation of Rack Mounting Racks must be mounted as indicated in illustrations throughout this manual, so as to provide for vertical airflow through the racks.
Factors that determine where equipment should be located within the site include at least the following: Environmental conditions (see above). • Wiring/cabling characteristics. The HC900 Controller includes (optional) I/O expansion racks (C50 • CPU only), which provide options regarding methods of connecting field devices into the system. That is, the length of I/O wiring can be reduced significantly by locating I/O expansion racks remote from the Controller rack, but close to process equipment.
Electrical Considerations The HC900 Controller should be mounted in an appropriate metal enclosure. A diagram that shows recommended wiring practice for the cabinet enclosure is given in Figure 20 - Cabinet Wiring, Single Chassis, and Figure 21 - Cabinet Wiring, Multiple Chassis.

On the PC, use the Utilities Worksheet in the HC Designer software to connect to the controller over Ethernet. Every HC900 controller is shipped with the default IP address of 192.168.1.254 and Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. You can use these network parameters initially for testing or configuration use.
Page 112
Subnet Mask (if other than the default), and Default Gateway IP address (if required, otherwise use default). Refer to the HC900 Hybrid Control Designer User’s Guide or its respective on-line help, Utilities Worksheet - Set Controller’s Network Parameters, for further details on this step.
Page 113
Consult your IT department or network administrator for allocating IP addresses to the controllers if required. You will need to set each controller’s IP address prior to network connection since every HC900 controller is shipped with the default IP address of 192.168.1.254. Placing multiple controllers on the same network before they have been given unique IP addresses will cause problems.

All of the input/output modules available for use in the HC900 Controller have a RIUP designation. That is, they can be Removed and Inserted Under Power, where "power" refers to DC power at the backplane of the rack. (It does not refer to power for field wiring at the terminal board associated with the I/O module, which must be disconnected (using a user-supplied switch) at the field device before removing or inserting the module.
Replacing the Power Supply The power supply for the HC900 Hybrid Controller is available in two models and is used in the local (controller) rack and in the remote (I/O expansion) racks(C50 CPU only), in 4-, 8-, and 12-module sizes.

When using the Hybrid Control Designer configuration software to convert UMC800 configuration files to HC900 configuration files, the HC900 range to the left of the UMC800 data will be used by the conversion program. There may also be UMC800 ranges that are not supported by the HC900 Controller. For these ranges the conversion process will default the range data to a null, not-programmed, range.
