NEW DELHI, INDIA: Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS) released its newest ControlEdge™ Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). Combined with Honeywell’s Experion® distributed control system (DCS), it provides a significant reduction in integration efforts and project costs as well as increased security and availability through enhanced cyber security for industrial facilities.
The PLC is used in a variety of balance of plant applications, such as equipment and device level control. Experion and ControlEdge PLC leverage a common Human Machine Interface (HMI) platform, provide faster field device commissioning, and improve device diagnostics.
“Aside from greatly reducing integration costs when combined with Experion, ControlEdge PLC minimizes downtime through unified support, further decreases risk through embedded cyber security, and lowers total cost of ownership through an extended system lifecycle,” said Andrew D’Amelio, vice president and general manager of HPS’ process measurement and control business.
The PLC is being offered to end users, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) companies, particularly those in global refining, oil & gas, power, chemical, water management industries and infrastructure applications.
“Our customers benefit from seamless integration of a DCS with PLC, RTU, field device asset management, and a new HMI panel PC,” said Andrew Brodie, HPS global marketing leader, controls.
ControlEdge PLC provides an IIoT-ready open platform that uses OPC Unified Architecture (UA) as a communication protocol and enables users to better leverage data across their assets. Honeywell’s IIoT portfolio of technologies is bundled in Honeywell Connected Plant solutions.
