HONEYWELL

Honeywell Process Instrumentation: Product Series & Advantages

Honeywell stands as a global leader in process instrumentation, delivering high-precision sensors and control systems for industrial automation, medical, energy, and HVAC applications. Here’s a concise overview of their key product series and core advantages:

Core Product Series

1. SmartLine Transmitters

   • Pressure/Temperature/Level Transmitters: Modular design for seamless integration with control systems (e.g., Experion PKS). Features include dual displays (basic/alphanumeric or advanced graphical), HART/RS485 communication, and compliance with SIL 2/3 safety standards. Ideal for oil refineries, chemical plants, and pharmaceuticals.

   • Radar Level Transmitters: Guided-wave radar technology for accurate liquid level measurement in tanks, with online validation tools for rapid deployment.

2. Pressure Sensors

   • X129981-13U Series: High-accuracy (±0.05% FS) MEMS-based sensors for extreme environments (-40°C to +125°C). Offers gauge/absolute/differential pressure measurement, IP67/IP69K ruggedization, and I²C/SPI/analog outputs. Used in hydraulic systems, aerospace, and medical devices.

   • ABP Series: Board-mount sensors with ±0.25% FS accuracy and low power consumption (<10 mW). Supports digital (I²C/SPI) or analog outputs for ventilators, HVAC, and industrial automation.

   • PPT/PPTR Series: Networkable sensors with RS-232/RS-485 interfaces, enabling multi-sensor networks (up to 89 nodes). Provides ±0.05% FS precision and self-diagnostics for gas/liquid pressure control.

   • HSC Series: Ultra-compact (10mm × 10mm) sensors with internal diagnostics and humidity resistance (IPC/JEDEC-certified). Suited for medical airflow monitors and HVAC controls.

3. Flow Sensors

   • Zephyr Series (e.g., HAF/UHT): Medical-grade gas flow sensors (±1.5% FS accuracy) for ventilators and anesthesia machines. Features digital I²C/SPI outputs and patented temperature compensation (-25°C to +85°C).

   • HFS Series: Industrial liquid/gas flowmeters with 100:1 turndown ratio, 304 stainless steel construction, and self-diagnostics via SAC protocol. Handles corrosive fluids and high-pressure steam (up to 150°C).

4. Control Systems

   • TPS/HPM Systems: Redundant process control platforms (e.g., for boilers, refineries). Integrates data acquisition (DAS), safety monitoring (FSSS), and logic control (SCS) with 99.9% uptime. Supports UCN/LCN networks and HM history modules.

Key Advantages

• Precision & Stability
  MEMS/ASIC technology ensures ±0.05% FS accuracy in pressure sensors and ±1.5% FS in flow sensors, outperforming competitors (e.g., Siemens, Emerson)12. Long-term drift is minimized to ±0.1% FS/year.

• Extreme Environment Resilience
  Wide operating temperatures (-40°C to +150°C), IP69K sealing, and 316L stainless steel/corrosion-resistant materials enable reliability in harsh conditions (e.g., oil rigs, chemical reactors).

• Smart Diagnostics & Integration

  • Self-monitoring for leaks, blockages, or internal faults (HFS/Zephyr series).

  • Digital outputs (I²C/SPI/RS-485) and compatibility with PLC/DCS systems simplify Industry 4.0 integration.

  • Modular designs (e.g., SmartLine) reduce inventory needs and lifecycle costs by 30%.

• Global Compliance & Certifications
  Meets ATEX/IECEx (explosive environments), FDA (medical devices), ISO 9001, and RoHS/REACH standards, accelerating international deployment.

• Energy Efficiency
  Low power consumption (e.g., ABP/HSC series <10 mW) extends battery life in portable medical devices and remote sensors.
