ControlEdge™ PLC, when combined with Experion®, reduces integration costs for balance of plant operations, minimizes downtime, decreases risk with embedded cyber security, and lowers total cost of ownership through extended system lifecycle.
What Is It?
The PLC is part of the ControlEdge family of controllers providing unprecedented connectivity through all levels of process and business operations. It is one of the first controllers supporting Honeywell’s IIoT-ready initiative.
ControlEdge PLC Users benefit from an easier configuration, efficient operations, and reduced maintenance as the PLC helps liberate plant personnel from manual processes. Its use of OPC UA protocol and its built-in cyber security enable smooth integration to a range of instruments, equipment, and software. By offering Universal I/O, ControlEdge provides remote configuration and late design change flexibility for improved project implementation as part of our LEAP™ project execution methodology.
How Does It Work?
ControlEdge provides an IIoT-ready open platform, enabling users to better leverage data across their assets. Interoperable multi-level and multi-platform open communication provides flexible and scalable design, enabling standardization with less hardware.
A common HMI for PLC and Experion means fewer operator and engineering stations, less hardware and wiring, reduced IT licensing, and less training with a common operator interface.
Embedded cyber security helps improve compliance and availability and reduce risk. Features include secure boot to prevent uploading of unauthorized software, a built-in firewall,
