Honeywell Process Solutions Launches New Process Controller

RTU2020 process controller manages remote automation and control applications in oil and gas and mining industries.

Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) has launched its RTU2020 process controller to help companies in the oil and gas, mining and other process industries to manage remote automation and control applications.

“With the RTU2020, companies have more flexibility to implement highly effective remote operations strategies across their businesses,” said Brendan Sheehan, senior marketing director, projects and automation solutions, HPS. “They can benefit from reduced equipment monitoring and diagnostic time, as well as reduced travel and increased safety by not sending personnel to the field to troubleshoot device issues.”

The RTU2020 is a modular process controller featuring expanded input/output (I/O) modules and wireless I/O. It is designed to provide visibility into the utilization of distributed assets through remote monitoring, diagnostic and asset management.

It can be deployed at remote sites with 1.8W power consumption and, according to the company, can cut equipment monitoring and diagnostic time from hours to minutes.

The RTU2020 controller’s 28 channels of onboard I/O can now be extended by adding one or more of the new 28 channel mixed I/O modules. Like the onboard I/O, the new mixed I/O module is HART-enabled.
