Plant control should be easy to install and use, even for new technicians. Capabilities should be easy to add, without ripping-and-replacing legacy infrastructure. And controls should have cybersecurity built-in to protect your OT, closing the back door to IT networks.

Honeywell Optimizer Advanced Controllers are a family of next generation integration & plant controllers incorporating the Niagara framework & powered by an IMX8 64bit quad-core processor. 

The IP devices are freely programmable, with a dedicated suite of I/O modules providing extremely flexible control options. Using the power of Niagara they provide both Ethernet & Serial integration options and are native BACnetTM Building Controllers (B-BC).


Features & Benefits:

  • Conforms to BACnetTM Standard 135 protocol version 1.15 (ISO 16484-5)
  • Multi-color LEDs to show the operational status of the isolated RS485 communications, HMI device, Ethernet connection, and Service state of the controller
  • Multiple Ethernet connector options
  • RJ11 interface to connect with an HMI device for field operations
  • All RS485 channels support PanelBus, BACnetTM MS/TP, Modbus, and M-Bus
  • Support C-Bus data sharing
  • Touchflake to support RS485 Snapon I/O devices
  • Built-in advanced diagnostics software facilitating troubleshooting for IP and MSTP devices
  • FRAM to store the live data for the controller, including storing the last known values when power is removed
  • UTF-8 and UCS-2 character encoding formats are supported
  • Support Peer-to-Peer communication
  • Supports DHCP (Automatic IP address assignment)
  • Supports full Niagara 4 Framework with FOX and Fox-S communications, N4 Drivers and Interfaces
  • i.MX 8M Plus, quad Arm® Cortex®-A53 processor, long life industrial grade, Frequency: 1.2GHz

Install & Service Faster

Lower your installation and lifecycle costs. Remove and service I/O modules without moving adjacent modules or rewiring. Its quick, reliable and scalable.

Easier Operation

Simplify integration, routing, and plant control, even for newer technicians. Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) display can manage local I/O channels and overrides, with or without controller..

Ready for What's Next

The Optimizer platform makes it easy to upgrade capabilities, now and in the future. Rigorous cybersecurity protects building control and OT systems so you can focus on operational goals with confidence.
