EPM Architecture

Architectural Evolution

Edge Process Management (EPM) Offers Scalability, Automation and Serviceability

We continue to push the boundaries with a unified, functional, and consistent architecture that spans data management, process control, power control, and automation solutions. Engineered for both machine and process levels, the EPM line of industrial controllers are built with modular I/O, a common configuration and operational interface, responsive HMI, and advanced connectivity.

This design not only significantly reduces the time required for system enhancements but also simplifies operation, maintenance, and product lifecycle management for our customers.

Introducing EPM Data

Cutting-edge, data-centric, and distributed, this scalable automation platform enhances human and machine collaboration to optimize processes and secure a connected future

Edge Intelligence to Boost Efficiency

  • Edge I/O patented precision input exceeds stringent accuracy specifications (e.g. SAE AMS2750 Field Test Instruments)
  • Edge I/O includes native expansion I/O, which reduces wiring and engineering effort while expanding the number of data points. This integration simplifies system design and enhances overall efficiency
  • Enhanced CPU capability enables efficient data management and advanced control performance
  • Batch Validator* analytics flags process deviations in real-time, reducing waste and increasing throughputs

Human and Machine Collaboration to Support Growth

  • Widescreen display provides greater viewing area
  • Multi-touch, capacitive functionality for improved operator interaction
  • Responsive display optimizes user interface from smart devices to PCs
  • Built-in HTML5 web server enables remote connection from any web-enabled client device
  • Online/offline and onboard configuration (parameterized for ISPE GAMP® 5 Second Edition, cat3)
  • Serviceable design reduces potential downtime (e.g. field replaceable HMI and I/O)

Robust Cybersecurity to Secure the Connected Future

  • Secure-by-design (e.g. Cybersecurity standard IEC62443 as an SL2 device)
  • Multiple Ethernet ports enable data to be shared over segregated IT and OT networks
  • Multiple comms protocols, including HTTPS, OPC UA, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, EtherNet/IP™, EtherCAT®
  • Tamper-resistant .uhh file format enables data integrity complying with MHRA, PIC/S guidance, EudraLex Vol. 4 Annex 11, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, and SAE AMS2750
  • Data storage upgraded to allow embedding of any file type within the record
  • Inbuilt audit trail functionality ensures all activity is logged and monitored
  • Optional Industry 4.0 data gateway for quick, secure transfer between on-prem and cloud (e.g. MQTT)
  • Lifecycle management – designed for ease of migration from legacy data recorders
