900C32-0244-00 | Honeywell HC900 Controller C30 CPU Module

Product Overview

The Honeywell 900C32-0244-00 is a C30 CPU Controller Module for the Honeywell ControlEdge HC900 hybrid control platform. As the central processing unit of the HC900 system, this module executes control strategies, manages I/O communication, and provides real-time process control for industrial automation applications. The C30 controller supports up to 32 control loops and 1920 I/O points, making it suitable for small to medium-scale process control applications in industries such as thermal processing, water treatment, and manufacturing automation.

Key Features

• C30 CPU Architecture: Compact controller with integrated processing and communication

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 900C32-0244-00 and 900C32-0243-00?
A: The suffix differences typically indicate firmware revisions or manufacturing batches. Both are C30 CPU modules with identical hardware specifications. Verify firmware compatibility with ControlEdge Builder software version.

Q: Can this module be used in safety instrumented systems (SIS)?
A> No. The 900C32 series is for standard process control. For SIL-rated safety applications, use the 900C30S-0360-00 Safety CPU module.

Q: What programming languages are supported?
A> ControlEdge Builder supports IEC 61131-3 languages including Function Block Diagram (FBD), Structured Text (ST), and Ladder Diagram (LD).

Selection Tips

• Use 900C32-0244-00 for standard process control applications up to 32 loops
• For larger applications (up to 64 loops), consider 900C52 (C50) or 900C72 (C70) series
• Verify ControlEdge Builder software version compatibility before ordering
• For redundant CPU configurations, use the 900RR0 redundant CPU rack with paired controllers
