Product Overview

The Honeywell HC900 Ethernet Driver works with TOP Server® to provide data exchange between OPC (UA, DA), SuiteLink, and DDE clients and Honeywell HC900 controllers using the Honeywell HC900 Modbus protocol over TCP/IP. Data acquisition is optimized based on client demand, while data integrity is ensured via extensive error handling.

Uses Honeywell HC900 variant of Modbus TCP protocol with wide range of addressing support — full 0–65535 address range and hex 0–FFFF addressing.

This driver is available in the following TOP Server driver suites: TOP Server Honeywell Suite, TOP Server Manufacturing Suite.
