The Experion PKS C300 controller forms the heart of the Experion control system, and is ideal for implementation across all industries, with best-in-class process control capabilities and security. It supports a wide variety of process control applications, including continuous and batch processes, and integration with smart field devices. The C300 controller also supports advanced process control, as well as custom algorithm blocks that let users create custom code to run in the C300 controller.
What Is It?
The C300 is secure out-of-the-box DCS controller with embedded cybersecurity that supports compliance, reduces risks, and improves availability. It operates Honeywell’s deterministic Control Execution Environment (CEE) software which executes control strategies on a constant and predictable schedule and transparently integrates standard and open communication protocols: Ethernet IP, Profinet, FOUNDATION™ Fieldbus, HART®, IEC61850, OPC UA, Profibus® and Modbus, addressing the requirements of a wide range of applications.
What Problems Does It Solve?
The C300 controller provides the means to overcome the increasing complexity of control systems, reduce Cyber risks and significantly improves the operational and lifecycle support aspects for control systems, as it offers :
- Robust and scalable Control Platform for a wide range of control applications addressing the most demanding process control requirements.
- A new paradigm for process control with IO & Control HIVE enabling maximum flexibility, scalability, standardization, optimization, and resiliency
