1. Product Introduction

RC500 Remote Terminal Units

Honeywell’s RC500 RTU is a modular and scalable controller capable

of all remote automation and control applications. RC500 RTU

combined with Honeywell’s powerful and feature-rich SCADA products

provides an integrated solution solving complex remote automation

requirements.

RC500 Overview

RC500 offers the flexibility to choose appropriate RTU model to suit

specific application needs. RTU variants are available based on

number of communication ports needed, memory requirements,

system topology needs, protocol needs and type of Input/Output

modules needed. RC500 RTUs are capable of all remote automation

and control applications. RC500 RTUs integrates into Experion using

industry standard protocols such as Modbus and DNP3. This seamless

RTU integration with Experion answers the most critical and complex

automation needs and at the same time brings in all the latest

technology that Experion platform offers.

RC500 RTU provides flexibility in I/O expansion. RC500 provides

Ethernet I/O options to suit specific application needs. These I/O

modules are DIN Rail mountable and allow hot swapping of modules in

a live system for easy replacement, configuring, and self-calibration.

There is a full range of different I/O module types available.

The RTU Engineering station consists mainly of Honeywell RC500 I/O

Toolkit and ISAGRAF software. The Honeywell RC500 I/O Toolkit is an

easy-to-use software package for designing, configuring and

maintaining RC500 RTU & I/O modules. ISAGRAF programming for

RC500 gives all IEC 61131 standard programming languages
