Honeywell C200/C200E Controller Lifecycle Status Change and Update

ControlEdge RTU Non-redundant Controller Life Cycle Announcement

ControlEdge RTU comes with a collection of hardware – non-redundant controller, redundant controller, Expansion I/O module, and in this way can address wider applications.

In Release 160, we introduced a new non-redundant controller, SC-UCMX02, with enhanced memory and security features. With this new introduction, we will be able to offer more features and target a broader market. Key features offered in the new non-redundant controller (SC-UCMX02) are mentioned below:

Key Features:

• From R160 going forward, non-redundant controllers have built-in security. No extra modules like firewalls are required. We provide secure communication through authentication and encryption. Our controllers (redundant & non-redundant) are ISASecure Level 2 certified. Honeywell is the first in the market to have an ISA secure certified device for remote installations, no other vendor's remote controllers are certified for Level 2.

• With more enhanced memory, many protocol additions and enhancements are possible. To name a few: DNP3 multi-master support, DNP3 Master SA V5 (R171), MQTT/IEC60870 addition in R170/R171.

• Static routing to help multiple SCADA systems on different subnets to connect to RTU

• Bulk firmware upgrade

• Bulk configuration

• More memory to store project files locally

It is pertinent to mention here that with the introduction of new non-redundant controller SC-UCMX02, our old non-redundant controller SC-UCMX01 will move into the legacy phase of the life cycle (with support for 10 years).

For all customers with existing installed base of SC-UCMX01 who are willing to use the new exciting features of SC-UCMX02, they can use upgrade kits available to order at competitive prices.

Upgrade Kit for SC-UCMX01 to SC-UCMX02 (SC-ZRTU01)

Starting in August 2020, we will be offering this upgrade kit to help customers using the older non-redundant controller to upgrade to the new controller at discounted prices based on their SESP contracts.

Contents of the Kit (SC-ZRTU01)

• Trade-in instructions for upgrade kits

• Replacement instructions

• SC-UCMX02

Eligibility for Upgrade

• Any customer using the older non-redundant controller will be eligible for this upgrade kit

• Upon receiving this kit, customer must return the old controller as per the accompanying return instruction document

What Does This Mean for SC-UCMX01?

• It will not be offered to greenfield projects

• For now, it will still be manufactured and offered to brownfield cases where spares are needed or installations need to be expanded

• It will still support all previous firmware release versions (R140, R150, R151)

Things to Consider

• This only affects non-redundant controllers

• No firmware upgrades to R160 and onwards from old controller SC-UCMX01 are possible

• No firmware downgrades from new controller SC-UCMX02 (at R160 +) are possible

• I/O modules remain unaffected

• Latest version of ControlEdge Builder (R160+) can support new and old controller*

* This is for those scenarios where a site has both new and old non-redundant controllers and they don’t have to use two different versions of ControlEdge Builder to configure their projects.

Scenarios to Quote SC-UCMX01

• Installations running with controllers on R140, R150, R151 (Brownfield)—Spares

What is the Integrated Automation Assessment?

Honeywell Integrated Automation Assessment (IAA) for Experion PKS and TotalPlant Solution (TPS) system owners provides a complete and detailed system performance analysis of the health, performance and supportability of the automation infrastructure assessment using data analytics, best practice benchmarking and expert analysis.

Included with A360 and available as a standalone service, the integrated automated assessment output is reviewed by a Honeywell expert who delivers a report with results and recommendations to the customer in a face-to-face meeting.
