Honeywell ControlEdge PLC can reduce configuration, integration, and support costs

Honeywell's ControlEdge PLC is industry’s first programmable logic controller to offer universal I/O and integrated cyber security.

Honeywell is a trusted manufacturer of electronic equipment for measurement applications, available in Canada through Thermo-Kinetics Measurement & Control. One of Honeywell’s most innovative solutions is the ControlEdge PLC, industry’s first programmable logic controller to offer universal I/O and integrated cyber security.

The latest release of this PLC provides unparalleled engineering flexibility, with new I/O options for system design, connectivity to more devices, and more protocols for native connectivity.

The next generation of controllers

The ControlEdge programmable logic controller significantly decreases configuration, integration, and support costs as it minimizes downtime through unified support when the user combines it with Experion PKS. It also reduces the total cost of ownership through an increased system lifecycle. This new upgrade has support for lean project execution, and it has now earned ISASecure Level 2 certification with Ethernet/IP capabilities, a serial interface module, and cloud-enabled engineering.

Together, ControlEdge and Experion leverage a common HMI platform, offer quicker field device commissioning, and improve device diagnostics. With an OPC UA protocol and built-in cyber security, the programmable logic controller offers smooth integration to various brands of instruments, equipment, and software. ControlEdge is also the first PLC to provide HART-enabled Universal I/O, while offering remote configuration and late design change flexibility for better project implementation.

ControlEdge has an IIoT-compatible platform that enables more direct access to cloud-based applications in analytics and visualization. It also offers multi-level, multi-platform open communication that allows for flexible, scalable design and standardization requiring less hardware. With easy configuration, efficient operation, and fewer maintenance requirements, ControlEdge offers a level of connectivity unsurpassed by any other PLC.

Another key advantage of ControlEdge is its integrated cyber security, which features a built-in firewall, secure boot to prevent unauthorized software from being uploaded, and a certified secure development lifecycle – all to reduce risk and raise compliance.
