Honeywell Adds the UDC3200 Controller to its Portfolio of Digital Technology
Controller Features Dual Inputs and Math for Diverse Applications
PHOENIX, November 30, 2004 - Honeywell (NYSE:HON) today introduced the UDC3200 Universal Digital Controller. The UDC3200 controller is part of Honeywell's rapidly expanding portfolio of next-generation controllers that were first announced in July. It is built on the same platform as the recently released UDC2500 controller and delivers higher-level functions in the popular one-quarter DIN size while retaining the reliability, cost effectiveness, simplicity and popular screen design of Honeywell's controllers.
The UDC family of controllers comprises three models designed to address a wide range of application requirements from basic to complex. The UDC3200 controller monitors and controls temperature, pressure, flow, level and other process variables in applications such as furnaces, ovens, environmental chambers, packaging machinery and plastic processing machines.
"The UDC3200 controller, along with the entire line of Honeywell controllers, improves efficiency and production at facilities by providing employees with instant access to information about a variety of applications," said Donna Lee Scaggs, vice president of Honeywell Process Solutions' Industrial Measurement and Control business. "Honeywell is especially pleased to offer this capability to our customers at an affordable price."
The UDC3200 controller features 2 universal analog inputs with a typical accuracy of +/-0.20%. Configurable math functions enable the UDC3200 controller to be used for ratio and feedforward control applications and in thermal processing applications to control variables such as carbon potential and oxygen.
The UDC3200 offers many other features, including:
· A durable NEMA 4X/IP66-rated front faceplate that allows the controller to be used in environments where it may be subjected to moisture, dust or hose-down conditions.
· An infrared communications port with accompanying Instrument Explorer software, enabling fast and secure controller configuration via a Pocket PC, laptop or desktop computer.
· An Ethernet or RS-485 connection to connect to plant networks and exchange data with computers or other devices on the network for monitoring or managing the process from other plant locations.
· Honeywell's Accutune III automatic tuning algorithm that employs fuzzy logic to suppress process variable overshoot.
· Dual vacuum fluorescent displays to provide continuous readout of the process variable and other operator-selected values such as alarm setpoints, configuration settings and tuning values.
· Multilanguage prompts to support controller configuration in English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
