Honeywell Touchpoint Pro Controller

The Honeywell Touchpoint Pro Controller is a powerful control system that can handle up to 64 input channels and 128 output channels. It comprises four main components: a central controller with a full-colour LCD touch screen, PCBs and SD cards for data storage, plugin input and output modules, and plugin power supply. Additionally, it features a communication power rail.

The control system can be installed in 19″ racks, either floor standing or wall mounting, and can function as a single centralised controller, a distributed controller, or both. The Touchpoint Pro Controller’s modular design and expandability can be customised to meet specific customer requirements.

The Touchpoint Pro is a device that can receive inputs from Flammable, Toxic, Oxygen, and Flame detectors. It can also accept inputs from other devices, such as strobes or valves. The central controller of the device includes a complete listing of all Honeywell Analytics gas sensors with selectable defaults to assist in the configuration process. The menu interface is user-friendly and allows simple navigation using the touchscreen or PC with the help of the optional TPPR PC Configuration Software. The menu interface provides forward, backwards, and reject options, making it easy to use and configure the device.

The central controller includes a web server interface that allows users to check the system’s status 24/7. Configuration and calibration are not permitted to prevent accidental changes to critical parameters. The interface enables resetting inhibit channels such as alarms and viewing event logs.

An optional Redundant Control Centre Board (CCB) ensures constant system uptime; if a fault occurs on the master CCB, the system immediately switches to the redundant CCB. A dual RS485 interface can be added to the central controller as an option for Modbus RTU output.

Existing cabling can be reused if used as a centralised system, saving cost. It can accommodate up to 16 input modules and 32 output modules. Each input and output module has four channels.

• Analogue Input Module 4-20 mA
• Analogue Input Module mV-Bridge
• Digital Input Module can be used with fire, gas or security
• Relay Output Module

The communication power rail 24 Vdc powers the input/output modules and can accommodate 5, 7, 9, or 10 Input/Output modules. It contains network cables that connect to a ring coupling module providing the Ring Network, the communication vehicle between the central controller and modules. It also communicates with remote Touchpoint Pro units. The network is self-healing; if a module fails, the direction of communication is changed, identifying the fault and allowing continual data transfer.
