Honeywell ET1915L-8CWA-1-RGNM2-G DCS Touch Monitor

HONEYWELL TYCO ELECTRONICS ET1915L-8CWA-1-RGNM2-G DCS TOUCH MONITOR

The Honeywell Tyco Electronics ET1915L-8CWA-1-RGNM2-G (Honeywell Hardware P/N: 51153996-200) is an industrial-grade 19-inch active-matrix TFT LCD touchscreen monitor engineered for distributed control systems (DCS), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and shipboard automation consoles. Built through Honeywell’s collaboration with Tyco Electronics / Elo TouchSystems, this display utilizes IntelliTouch surface acoustic wave (SAW) / AccuTouch 5-wire resistive touch architecture factory-sealed to resist airborne contaminants, hydrocarbons, dust, and moisture ingress.

Operating on dual power configurations (internal 100–240 VAC line or external 12 VDC input), the display features a standard 5:4 aspect ratio with native SXGA (1280 × 1024) resolution, making it a 100% plug-and-play field replacement for legacy CRT and early-generation flat-panel Honeywell operator consoles.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

1. Dual Serial & USB Communication: Integrated RS-232 DB9 and USB Type-B touch interfaces allow connection to modern operating systems as well as legacy Honeywell TDC 3000 / Experion nodes.
2. Universal Dual Power Input: Onboard 100–240 VAC (50/60 Hz) switch-mode power supply along with an alternative 12 VDC barrel connection for marine UPS/DC distribution boards.
3. Contaminant-Sealed Bezel: Factory perimeter sealing protects against splash water, oil mist, particulate accumulation, and wash-down environments common in machinery control rooms (MCR).
4. Flexible Mounting Integration: Built-in 100 mm VESA mounting grid and removable desk stand with underside screw-down hard points for console integration or secure shipboard tabletop mounting.

Marine & Industrial Applications

• Distributed Control System Consoles: Human-Machine Interface (HMI) nodes for Honeywell Experion PKS, PlantScape, and TotalPlant Solutions (TPS).
• Marine Engine Control Rooms (MCR): Monitoring ballast management, main propulsion alarms, power management systems (PMS), and auxiliary machinery consoles.
• Offshore Oil & Gas Rigs: SCADA client terminals on drilling platforms, FPSO cargo handling systems, and gas compression monitoring.
• Process Manufacturing: Continuous control and batch automation displays for chemical refineries, power generation facilities, and water treatment operations.

Pro Installation Tips

1. Preventing Touch Coordinate Drift: When locking the monitor into a 100 mm VESA console arm, torque the M4 bolts to a maximum of 1.2 N·m. Over-tightening causes chassis flexion, which leads to parallax calibration drift on SAW/resistive touch sensors.
2. Dual-Supply Redundancy Setup: For marine consoles where 24 VDC control power is stepped down to 12 VDC, supply the unit via the 12 VDC coaxial jack while keeping the AC line attached to an inverter-backed bus. The internal switching circuit will draw from the primary rail without display interruption during UPS transfer transients.
3. Signal Reflection & Ghosting Mitigation: Use double-shielded VGA cables equipped with ferrite beads at both terminations. Industrial environments with large variable frequency drives (VFDs) induce high-frequency common-mode noise along unshielded analog video cables.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Honeywell 51153996-200 and ET1915L-8CWA-1-RGNM2-G?

They refer to the exact same physical unit. ET1915L-8CWA-1-RGNM2-G is the manufacturer model number by Tyco Electronics / Elo TouchSystems, while 51153996-200 is Honeywell’s proprietary internal part number for Experion PKS console inventory.

Can I connect this monitor via USB if my system does not have an RS-232 serial port?

Yes. The monitor features dual-touch interface architecture. You can connect either the standard USB Type-B cable or the DB9 RS-232 serial cable to communicate touch coordinates to your host PC or PLC workstation.

Can this monitor run directly on 24 VDC marine shipboard power?

No. The monitor accepts either 100–240 VAC directly via standard IEC power cord or 12 VDC via the coaxial barrel jack. To run on a 24 VDC shipboard line, use an industrial 24 VDC to 12 VDC step-down converter rated for at least 4.0 Amps.
