Honeywell ControlEdge™ PLC Modular Controllers

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, and a certified secure development lifecycle to ensure security is built in from

the start.
