Honeywell Process Solutions (HPS), an automation control specialist, has developed a new programmable logic controller (PLC) to add to its next generation range, leveraging its power of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT).
The new ControlEdgeTM device, which uses built-in cyber security, has been combined with Honeywell’s Experion® Process Knowledge System, providing secure connectivity and device integration from multiple vendors.
It is the first PLC to offer Universal input/output (I/O) – enabling remote configuration and late design change flexibility for improved project implementation.
Jason Urso, Vice-President of HPS’ Process Measurement and Control Business, explained some of the advantages of using the new instrument, “Projects that combine both Experion and ControlEdge PLC can benefit from substantially reduced project risk, eliminate the impact of late I/O changes and dramatically simplify project execution.”
