HC900 Hybrid Control PC Software
Hybrid Control Designer configuration software is a Windows-based application for configuring HC900 hybrid
controllers and their integrated 1042 or 559 series operator interfaces
Drag and Drop
Its drag and drop placement methods and soft-wiring of analog and digital function blocks allow a custom control strategy to
be easily created.
Batch Report Contents
System configuration for peer data exchanges, master communications to slave devices, and emailing of alarms and events directly
from the controller are also provided.
Multiple worksheets allow process functions to be conveniently partitioned and unique security
assignments for each partition limit access to only authorized personnel.
On-line monitoring features such as watch-windows, logic power flow, live data on diagram, signal trace-back, forcing and multiple function block access aid in debug operations.
Run-mode configuration edit download capability avoids costly process shutdown or initialization.
Rapid Configuration
Hybrid Control Designer offers fast setup of the optional operator interface due to its integrated database
– just select the display format and insert tags in formatted display areas.

Configuration back-build is an important maintenance feature of the software, allowing controller and operator interface
configurations resident in a controller’s memory to be uploaded and reconstructed on the PC screen in a graphic format,
appearing exactly as they did when they were originally developed. This feature guarantees the file being used to monitor or
edit a configuration exactly matches what is being used in the controller to control the process.
