[cctalk] Re: Scada computers and remote terminal units

Honeywell made a large number of these systems, which were in use in many industries (oil refining, manufacturing of all types, water utility distribution, etc.).  They were quite expensive, and PLC manufacturers have made great inroads into that market in the past couple of decades.  As a result, some of that equipment is showing up in the surplus market. I found a Honeywell "Orion" console desk being disposed of that I would have loved to take, except that it was truly massive (it must have weighed nearly a thousand pounds!).  It was electrically height adjustable (with memory), had mounts for two very large monitors, integrated lighting, cable management, and rack spaces for physical buttons and lights.  Actually, a lot of their equipment is pretty massive, especially when compared to current-day PLCs. ~~ Mark Moulding
