Honeywell ControlEdge RTU
ControlEdge RTU provides improved field asset management through simplified and efficient remote monitoring, diagnostics, and management. It reduces equipment monitoring and diagnostics from hours to minutes, and integration with Experion SCADA reduces configuration time by up to 80%. The RTU is used in geographically distributed physical asset control and liquid & gas flow computing in industries such as upstream and midstream oil and gas, water, and mining.
Honeywell vs. Emerson, Schneider Electric, or Yokogawa
When comparing the ControlEdge RTU to the competition (Emerson, Schneider Electric, or Yokogawa), the Honeywell RTU has:
- The lowest power of consumption (1.7 W) saves the user money.
- Hart enabled onboard I/O means better maintenance decisions and faster commissioning without extra money.
- Efficient wiring and configuration mean faster, less error-prone installation and less downtime during maintenance.
- ControlEdge has extended operating temperature to 75 °C for higher reliability versus 70° C.
- Onboard Wireless I/O permits remote bulk firmware upgrades.
- Gas and liquid flow compensation on one RTU and in compliance with API 21
- Native redundancy means it is ready to go, and the user does not need to buy more hardware.
- First in the market with ISASecure Level 2 Certification for redundant and non-redundant controllers.
