CONTROLEDGE PLC
SYSTEM INTEGRATORS
AND DISTRIBUTORS
ControlEdge programmable logic controller
(PLC) provides secure IIoT-ready connectivity
with tight integration to devices and systems from
multiple vendors. The first PLC to offer Universal
I/O, ControlEdge uses the OPC UA protocol and
has built-in cybersecurity. Designed to work
with any SCADA system, it becomes a superior
solution combined with any Experion® variant.
A NEW GENERATION
OF CONTROLLERS
Honeywell’s ControlEdge PLC is part
of the ControlEdge™ family, a next-
generation family of controllers providing
unprecedented connectivity through all
levels of process and business operations.
The result is optimized operations and
maintenance efficiencies that liberate
personnel from manual processes.
ControlEdge™ PLC provides secure
connectivity and tight integration to
devices and systems from multiple
vendors - with easy configuration, efficient
operations, and reduced maintenance.
Designed to work with any SCADA
system, it becomes a superior solution
using any variant of E xperion®, leveraging
common hardware and HMI, plus
LEAP™ project execution. ControlEdge
uses OPC UA, Profinet, and EtherNet /
IP protocols and built-in cybersecurity
for smooth integration to a range of
instruments, equipment and sof tware
from multiple vendors. The first PLC to
offer Universal I/O, ControlEdge provides
remote configuration and late design
change flexibility for improved project
implementation. Honeywell delivers
superior integration and efficiency
across both DCS and PLC applications.

BENEFITS
OPC UA
Built on a proven and capable platform,
ControlEdge provides an IIoT-ready
open plat form that enables users
to better leverage data across their
assets. The OPC UA protocol offers
smooth integration while providing
built-in cybersecurity. Interoperable
multi-level and multiplatform open
communication provides flexible
and scalable design, enabling
standardization with less hardware.
An IIoT-ready platform enables
more direct access to cloud-based
applications for visualization and
analytics. With direct access and
reduced gateways, ControlEdge
provides investment protection
and easier maintenance, and
therefore reduced cost and risk.
Experion Integration
Designed to work with any SCADA
system, ControlEdge PLC becomes a
superior solution when combined with
any variant of Experion®. An additional
advantage to using Honeywell is that
we provide both process control and
PLC through a single vendor with
seamless support. Coordination is
easier with fewer teams and direct
access to system knowledge, resulting
in faster system setup, testing and
troubleshooting. The overall risk is
reduced with fewer elements to manage
and a single point of responsibilit y.
Reliable integration reduces both risk
and cost with fewer coordination errors,
less engineering, faster installation,
less training and reduced hardware.
For the end user, operator effectiveness
is increased and risk is diminished with
a leaner control room. 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 HMI tool and
operator interface. The end user benefits
from reduced cost over the lifecycle with
smaller footprint and easier maintenance.
Connectivity options
Built-in support for Industry standard
protocols such as Modbus, EtherNet /
IP, DNP3, PROFINET and HART-
IP provide smooth integration to a
range of instruments, equipment and
soft ware from multiple vendors.
Universal I/O
ControlEdge is the first PLC to offer
Universal I/O, providing remote
configuration and design change flexibility
for improved project implementation.
Universal I/O enables the entire cabinet
to become a standard part, with I/O
channels quickly configurable to allow
modules to serve as analog or digital
and as input or output. Engineers can
quickly accommodate late configuration
changes remotely using a simple
soft ware tool. Built-in HART-enabled
Universal I/O means no additional
hardware and costs to support HART.
By offering Universal I/O, ControlEdge
provides both configuration efficiency
and flexible design, thereby reducing
project schedule, cost and risk. Universal
Channel Technology eliminates
tedious documentation updates for
cabinet configurations and simplifies
maintenance. The reduction in types of
I/O modules minimizes the number of
spares needed and associated holding
costs for the end user. With reduced
or eliminated marshaling, there are
fewer cabinets, diminished footprint,
and lower infrastructure cost.
Cybersecurity
Our embedded cybersecurity supports
compliance, reduced risk, and availability.
Features include secure boot to prevent
uploading of unauthorized soft ware, a
built-in firewall to minimize exposure
to denial-of-service at tacks and
message flooding, and a certified
secure development lifecycle to ensure
securit y is built in from the star t.
In addition, Honeywell offers Industrial
Cybersecurity Solutions and Managed
Services that help protect the availability,
safety and reliability of industrial control
systems and site operations. Honey well
improves business performance by
reducing the risk of incidents, faults and
failures that disrupt normal operations.
