How Does It Work?

The modular, scalable ControlEdge HC900 process and safety controller

is available in three rack sizes and three CPU performance levels to

handle a wide range of automation requirements, providing users the

flexibility of starting with what they need, and then expanding as desired.

Its Windows-based designer software operates over Ethernet, making it

easy to configure the logic controller and operator interface.

The touchscreen operator interface and user-friendly custom displays

enable streamlined, intuitive operation, help eliminate errors, and provide

improved data access and process supervision. This logic controller includes

a selection of controller CPU modules, multiple I/O rack sizes and multiple

local or remote I/O racks per system that provide flexibility. The logic controller

also provides superior PID loop control and more robust analog processing

than most logic controllers without compromising on logic performance.

What Problems Does It Solve?

The scalable design of ControlEdge HC900 process and safety controller reduces

hardware and software costs, training and support needs, and the requirement

for spares, thereby bringing significant cost savings to users.

The ControlEdge HC900 SIL2 system is an ideal fit for applications where plant

and operations need to be quickly brought into safe state in case of adverse

operating conditions. When paired with Experion HS, it can meet FDA 21 CFR

Part 11 requirements for pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage industries that

require advanced controller security and protection, change management and

automated electronic record keeping capabilities
