Two Honeywell products receive EDSA certification

Two Honeywell Process Solutions products have been awarded ISASecure Embedded Device Security Assurance (EDSA) certification by the ISA Security Compliance Institute (ICSI).

The company’s Experion C300 distributed control system (DCS) and Experion fieldbus interface module (FIM) now carry the ISASecure designation. Honeywell was awarded its first EDSA certification for its embedded safety manager device in 2011.

Extensive testing for communication robustness, functional security and software development security was carried out prior to the certification being awarded.

The Experion C300 DCS controller supports a range of process control situations, including continuous and batch processes and integration with smart field devices. It handles process control requirements from integration with batch systems to controlling devices on a variety of networks. The Experion FIM assists the integration of Foundation Fieldbus and the Experion system.

“Honeywell is proud to be able to demonstrate the security and robustness of our products,” said Mike Baldi of the Honeywell Process Solutions Global Architect Team. “The ISASecure designation reflects our ability to deliver secure products to our customers and helps us meet their demands for security assurance.”

All ISASecure certified devices are registered on the ICSI website.
