PLCs, Power Supplies & Others

The Honeywell 10018/2/U functions as a versatile communication module for Honeywell’s UCN-2000 series of programmable logic controllers. This unit establishes reliable RS-232 connections between the PLC and various external devices for programming and data exchange. Consequently, it facilitates programming, data acquisition, and remote control operations in industrial automation systems.

Core Technical Specifications

We engineered the Honeywell 10018/2/U for seamless integration with UCN-2000 PLCs, providing robust communication capabilities. The table below details its essential physical and electronic parameters:

Key Functional Capabilities

Reliable RS-232 Communication Interface

The 10018/2/U provides a robust RS-232 interface for connecting to programming terminals, HMIs, and other serial devices. This industry-standard protocol ensures reliable point-to-point communication over moderate distances. Therefore, you can easily program, monitor, and control your UCN-2000 PLCs from external systems.

Multi-Protocol Support for Broad Compatibility

This module supports multiple communication protocols including DH+, Modbus, and ASCII. It adapts to the protocol requirements of connected devices, ensuring seamless integration. As a result, the Honeywell 10018/2/U communicates with a wide range of third-party equipment and legacy systems.

Flash Memory for Flexible Configuration

Built-in FSC-SMM flash memory stores configuration data and communication parameters securely. This non-volatile memory retains settings even during power cycles, ensuring consistent operation. Consequently, you can pre-configure modules and deploy them without reprogramming.

Simplified Programming and System Setup

The module simplifies the programming and configuration of UCN-2000 PLCs through its transparent communication path. Engineers can connect laptops or engineering workstations directly to the PLC for efficient setup. Hence, it reduces commissioning time and streamlines control system deployment.

Real-Time Data Acquisition Capabilities

You can use the 10018/2/U to collect real-time data from sensors, actuators, and other field devices. This data enables process monitoring, trend analysis, and performance optimization. Therefore, operators gain valuable insights into their industrial processes for informed decision-making.

Remote Control for Operational Flexibility

The module provides remote control capabilities, allowing operators to manage machines and processes from a distance. This feature enhances operational flexibility and can improve safety by removing personnel from hazardous areas. As a result, you can centralize control and monitoring for multiple UCN-2000 systems.

Wide Environmental Tolerance for Industrial Use

Honeywell designed this communication module for reliable operation across a broad temperature range of -20°C to +60°C. It also withstands storage extremes from -40°C to +85°C and high humidity levels. Consequently, you can deploy the 10018/2/U in diverse environments without special protection.

Easy Installation and User-Friendly Design

A streamlined design ensures hassle-free installation and straightforward operation of the module. Clear indicators and accessible connectors simplify wiring and status checking for maintenance personnel. Thus, it minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity in your automation systems.
