Requirements

• System Requirement
• PlantScape Vista/SCADA, R400 or R500.1
• - Station 1.1 (Build 1358)
• Experion PKS, R100
• HBC EBI R200.1
• Driver Requirement
• Universal Modbus Driver (also referred to as
  UMB driver)) for above releases (updated for
  Ethernet Interface to HC900 and Trendview via
  Modbus/TCP)

Universal Modbus is a Honeywell term. The
driver uses the documented Modbus address map
that applies to many Honeywell products in
common. It means that the modbus addresses for
similar parameters, such as the PV of loop 1, in
different products are the same, or universal.

Universal Modbus Driver for HC900

• QuickBuilder database acronym (named
  parameter) entry for
• I/O (1st rack only, other racks use hexadecimal
  addressing)
• Signal Tags, 1 to 1000 (read only)
• Variables, 1 to 600 (read and write)
• Control loops, 1 to 24 (loops 25-32 use hex
  addresses for loop parameters)
• SP Programmers 1- 4 (requires only 1 Point
  assignment per programmer)
• SP Schedulers 1 and 2
• Provides standard displays for SP Programmers 1-
  4, SP profile pre-plot and PV trending, and
  recipe management for up to 1000 recipes
  (Variables only), 1000 profiles, and 1000
  combined recipes (programmers and Variables).
• Note SP Programmers 5 through 8 addressing not
  supported in PlantScape)
• Supports HC900 Digital Signal Tags and
  Variables for assignment to PlantScape Digital
  Status Points
• All other non-named parameters use Modbus
  hexadecimal addressing
• Supports UMC800 in addition to HC900 (up to
  UMC800 specification limits)

Database Preparation
Prior to QuickBuilder Database entry

• Print out the following HC Designer Reports for
  each HC900
• configuration

• Tag Information Report lists all Signal Tags
  and Variables by
• number with tag names and descriptors
  for association
• Block Modbus Addresses lists major (principal)
  blocks by
• number such as loops, setpoint
  programmers, sequencers, etc.

The numbers entered for HC900 control loops,
signal tags, variables, etc. in QuickBuilder
correspond to those listed in these reports.
