HONEYWELL SPS5710

Description

Product Description

HONEYWELL SPS5710 is a Smart Pressure Switch/Transmitter from Honeywell’s Sensing and Productivity Solutions portfolio. This device is not a traditional PLC spare part, but a critical field instrument with integrated intelligence that provides both a discrete alarm/trip signal and a continuous analog output. The primary function of the HONEYWELL SPS5710 is to monitor a process pressure and provide a highly reliable, programmable switch action (e.g., to initiate a PLC-controlled shutdown) while simultaneously transmitting a 4-20 mA analog signal representing the pressure for display and recording. It combines the functions of a pressure transmitter and a pressure switch into a single, smart device. The SPS5710 enhances system reliability by providing two independent output types from one sensing element. For control engineers, integrating a smart switch like the HONEYWELL SPS5710 simplifies loop design, reduces installation points, and improves diagnostic capabilities.

Product Parameters / Technical Specifications

• Manufacturer: Honeywell (Sensing and Productivity Solutions)
• Product Line: Honeywell Smart Pressure Switch (SPS)
• Functional Designation: Smart Pressure Switch/Transmitter with Analog Output
• Pressure Ranges: Available in various pressure ranges (e.g., vacuum to high pressure, specific to model variant).
• Process Connection: Various types such as G1/4″, NPT 1/4″, etc.
• Wetted Materials: Stainless steel (e.g., 316L) is standard, suitable for many industrial media.
• Outputs:
  • Analog Output: One 4-20 mA analog output, linear to the measured pressure.
  • Switch Outputs: One or two configurable solid-state (PNP) or relay outputs. These are programmed to activate at user-defined setpoints with adjustable deadbands.
• Display & Interface: Integral LCD display and push-button interface for local configuration, calibration, and diagnostics without external tools.
• Accuracy: High accuracy for both the analog output (e.g., ±0.25% FS) and the switch setting.
• Communication: Some models may include a digital communication option (e.g., IO-Link) for advanced configuration and data readout.
• Power Supply: Typically requires a 12-30 VDC power supply for operation.

Advantages and Key Features

• Dual-Function Efficiency: Replaces separate transmitter and switch assemblies, saving cost, panel space, and installation time. The HONEYWELL SPS5710 provides both control and safety signals in one unit.
• High Reliability & Repeatability: The solid-state switching mechanism has no moving mechanical parts to wear out, ensuring long-term setpoint stability and eliminating contact bounce.
• Easy Configuration & Flexibility: The local display and buttons allow for quick on-site adjustment of switch setpoints, deadband, and analog output range without breaking the process seal.
• Excellent Diagnostic Visibility: The local display shows real-time pressure, switch status, and can indicate error conditions. This aids immensely in troubleshooting compared to a blind mechanical switch.
• Improved Safety Integrity: By using a single, highly accurate sensor for both the analog monitor and the trip function, it reduces the potential for discrepancies that can occur between two separate devices.
• Robust Industrial Design: Suitable for harsh environments with high resistance to vibration and electrical noise.

Application Cases in Industry

• Pump Protection: Used to monitor discharge pressure, providing a 4-20 mA signal to the PLC for control while using its switch output to trigger a high-pressure shutdown or low-pressure alarm to protect the pump.
• Compressor Control & Safety: Monitors lubricating oil pressure, sending the analog value to the DCS and providing a hardwired low-pressure trip signal directly to the compressor’s safety system.
• Hydraulic System Monitoring: Installed on hydraulic power units to provide system pressure feedback (analog) and activate a warning light or PLC alarm (switch) if pressure deviates from the normal range.
• Filter Monitoring: Measures differential pressure across a filter. The analog signal shows gradual buildup, while the switch provides an alarm for immediate filter change when the ΔP gets too high.

Selection Suggestions and Precautions

1. Verify Pressure Range and Media Compatibility: Select the HONEYWELL SPS5710 variant with a pressure range that covers both your normal operating pressure and your alarm/trip setpoints. Confirm the wetted materials are compatible with your process media.
2. Choose Correct Output Types: Ensure the switch output type (solid-state PNP/NPN or relay) is compatible with your PLC’s input module or the load you are driving (e.g., relay coil, lamp).
3. Proper Mounting and Pulsation Damping: Mount the device securely to minimize vibration. If measuring a pulsating pressure (e.g., from a piston pump), ensure the internal damping setting is appropriate or use an external pulsation damper to prevent switch chatter and analog signal noise.
4. Configure Setpoints and Deadband Correctly: Use the local interface to carefully program the switch setpoints. Set an adequate deadband (hysteresis) to prevent rapid cycling of the switch output if the pressure hovers around the setpoint.
5. Wiring and Power Supply: Use shielded cable for the analog 4-20 mA signal and ground the shield at the control panel end only. Provide a clean, stable DC power supply within the specified range.
6. Sourcing from Instrumentation Specialists: Purchase the SPS5710 from authorized Honeywell sensing distributors or reputable industrial instrumentation suppliers to ensure you receive the correct model and authentic product.
