   A: Programming and configuration are performed using Honeywell’s Hybrid Control Designer (HCD).

4. Q: Is it compatible with Experion HS or PKS?
   A: Yes, the controller integrates seamlessly with Honeywell’s Experion platforms.

5. Q: What are the typical control loop execution times?
   A: About 25 milliseconds per 100 PID loops under normal load.

6. Q: What types of I/O modules are supported?
   A: Supports analog input/output, digital input/output, thermocouple, RTD, and relay modules from the HC900 series.

7. Q: Does this model support Ethernet-based peer-to-peer communication?
   A: Yes, it supports Ethernet peer-to-peer networking for controller-to-controller data exchange.

8. Q: Is remote I/O expansion possible?
   A: Yes, remote I/O racks can be added using Honeywell 900R series components.

9. Q: Is the controller certified for hazardous locations?
   A: Yes, it is certified for use in ATEX Zone 2 and Class I Division 2 environments.
