The Emerson PACSystems RSTi-EP CPE200 Series compact PLC has built-in security-by-design, open programming, and open communications built in. The compact controller allows connectivity to traditional sensors and actuators as well as external analytics software platforms. Since the CPE200 uses the same runtime as existing RX3i controllers, users can leverage their existing application libraries and templates while scaling footprint and performance for smaller application installations.
The CPE200 has built-in open communications that connect a wide range of 3rd party devices. With real time I/O networking capabilities, up to three 1-Gbps Ethernet ports and support of all popular communication protocols including PROFINET, OPC UA, Modbus/TCP, and DNP3 the CPE200 compact controller gives users flexibility.
With Achilles Level 2 Certification, the CPE200 has been developed to be secure by design, incorporating technologies such as Trusted Platform Modules, and secure boot to prevent malicious applications and “unauthorized” operating systems. A centralized configuration allows encrypted firmware updates to be executed from a secure central location. A broad suite of cyber-security technology and tools help prevent unauthorized updates while built-in secure communication protocols help protect against man-in-the middle and denial of service attacks.
