Latest Honeywell Gas Control Systems deliver increased flexibility, efficiency and accessibility

Representing the next evolution in industrial safety, Honeywell recently launched its new generation of gas control systems – Touchpoint Pro and Touchpoint Plus that deliver increased flexibility, cost savings and greater data intelligence to a wide range of sectors.
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research, the global gas detection equipment market is forecast to reach US$ 3,372.0mn by 2022 and a key factor driving the growth of global gas detection equipment market include increasing concerns about occupational health and safety.

Honeywell Analytics’ Touchpoint Pro and Touchpoint Plus deliver up to 64 channels of gas detection, offering a gas safety solution that is suited to cater to a range of industries such as oil & gas, pharmaceutical and building automation.

Both Touchpoint Pro and Touchpoint Plus feature intuitive touchscreens which are simple to operate and easy to maintain, making safety, reliability and efficiency easier than ever to achieve.

Touchpoint Pro

The Touchpoint Pro is a complete integrated gas and logic safety control system ideal for small to midsized operations. Touchpoint Pro’s flexible architecture enables the exact system to be built to customer requirements while optimising operations and cost. Thanks to a unique modular approach, Touchpoint Pro is the only control solution that enables the customer to build a centralised system, distributed system or a combination, all with the same components. The unique architecture of Touchpoint Pro can significantly reduce cabling costs and installation time and is easily expanded or integrated into an emergency gas shutdown system.

“Touchpoint Pro can save customers as much as 50 per cent on the total cost per channel when you factor in all of its cost-saving aspects, including equipment, installation and cabling. This makes it a highly attractive solution for today’s cost-conscious customer,” said Steve Forrest, Global Marketing Director for Honeywell Analytics.

Touchpoint Pro delivers maximised system uptime with 24/7 operational availability. It is the only control system in its class to offer a web server interface, which allows gas status, and data, event history to be monitored away from the intuitive touch-screen panel — and even remotely from the site.  Low cost, end-to-end testing of the entire system can also be carried out using a mobile device.

At the heart of Touchpoint Pro is the central controller that can be mounted in either a rack or cabinets. The central controller also includes a preloaded sensor catalogue, which contains a complete listing of gas detectors from Honeywell, each with recommended settings for a simple three-stage setup.

Touchpoint Plus

Honeywell Analytics also launched the Touchpoint Plus which is a highly configurable, easy-to-use, wall-mounted controller that supports up to eight channels of gas detection for industrial and light industrial sectors, making it easier for operators to monitor the safety of their sites and staff.

Touchpoint Plus provides a reliable safety solution for small-scale gas detection systems across a wide range of applications and industries. It is designed to work with Honeywell’s industry leading gas detectors and drive actuators, audible and visual alarms to provide a complete end-to-end, highly configurable safety solution.

Built around its intuitive, ergonomic touchscreen, operators can configure, operate and maintain their gas detection system simply and efficiently by simply touching the screen. The multilingual interface simplifies operation, reducing training requirements and costs. Real-time data is presented in an easy to navigate menu system, whilst historical data can be downloaded to monitor developing threats.

“With everything at your fingertips, Touchpoint Plus allows you to take ownership of your system and operate it with confidence. The simplicity and intuitive user interface gives you confidence that the safety of your people and productivity of your site is maximised,” said Steve.

Housed in a high impact polymer plastic, Touchpoint Plus is designed to stand up to the challenges of industrial environments, from chemical plants to manufacturing.
