Honeywell’s C300 controller provides powerful and robust control for the PlantCruise by Experion® platform. With the C300 and the Control Execution Environment, customers can improve engineering productivity and maintenance, maximize process uptime, and reduce production costs.
At the core of the C300 in PlantCruiseis Honeywell’s field-proven deterministic Control Execution Environment (CEE) core software. The CEE provides a superior control execution and scheduling environment. Control strategies are configured and loaded through Control Builder, an easy to use and intuitive engineering tool. The C300 controller hardware offers unique space saving, installation, and maintenance benefits consistent with its innovative Series 8 form factor. The C300 is optionally redundant, requiring no additional hardware other than an identical second hardware module.
With the C300 controller, customers can:
• Improve engineering productivity with a rich set of function libraries and a seamless and intuitive user environment,
• Maximize process uptime and minimize maintenance effort with robust diagnostics and full hardware redundancy, and,
• Reduce production costs with flexible and efficient control strategies, on-process migration, and efficient hardware processing power.
Easy Control Strategy Creation through Rich Function Libraries
The Control Execution Environment function blocks support:
• Continuous Control
• Logic Based Control
• Sequential Control
• Model Based Control Each function block contains a rich set of predefined features, such as alarm limits and priorities, various control algorithms, and maintenance statistics, all of which are configurable parameters. Function blocks are linked together in Control Modules to perform specific control tasks, which provide a foundation for efficient control engineering. Embedded functionality guarantees consistent control strategy execution and delivers consistent alarming and operations behavior. This consistency reduces operator errors and saves implementation time by eliminating the need to develop low-level basic functions.
