HONEYWELL

The HC900 controller provides a cost-effective platform for combining loop and logic control. The HC900 is ideal for unit process applications that require a combination of analog process control functions and discrete control actions. When networked with the Experion system for supervisory control, the HC900 controller provides an ideal unit controller for standalone processes, skid-mounted systems and other periphery operations in a process facility.

The HC900 controller offers a blend of analog process, logic and sequencing control algorithms. There are no preset limits on the number of times a function block type may be instantiated in a controller (limit based on memory availability and required scan rate). Features include:

• 1,920 I/O points
• Compact 4, 8 or 12 I/O slot rack sizes
• Open Ethernet network connectivity
• Peer-to-peer data exchange
• Automated loop tuning
• Setpoint programmers
• Setpoint schedulers with multiple ramp/soak outputs andultiple 64-step sequencers

         This powerful platform, combined with a tightly integrated touch screen operator interface (900 Control Station) that supports a variety of preformatted displays with trending and data storage, is easily applied across many industries. The HC900 is configured using PC-based Windows configuration software (Hybrid Control Designer), which utilizes graphical function block configuration techniques and supports run-mode edit capability to help minimize process interruptions and provides advanced monitoring features

     Experion LS offers the power and reliability of a distributed control system (DCS) in a small and flexible solution, ideal for batch and sequence-oriented manufacturers. 

     Based upon the award-winning Experion Process Knowledge System (PKS), Experion LS brings the value and reliability enjoyed by global Honeywell customers to a smaller operation.   

Experion LS offers the power and reliability of a distributed control system (DCS) in a small and flexible solution. Because it requires less engineering effort to configure and is easier to maintain than a PLC or large DCS, the system can help plants save up to $20,000 per year in support per system.  With out-of-the-box functionality and flexibility, it requires less implementation cost and less ongoing maintenance than either systems are optimized for very large operations or the smaller typical PLC-based system.

Experion LS is the perfect flexible platform for small sites.  Any size installation has access to a robust historian, controller-based batch sequencing, advanced control, change control for validated sites, and reporting capabilities.

The solution can scale from one PC and one controller to include multiple operator stations, redundancy, and batch management.  In addition, the system provides reliable peer-to-peer communication with third party devices and drives, such as PLCs, weigh scales and motor drives, integration of SCADA data, and multiple I/O bus options.

Experion LS offers a single automation solution that covers both your continuous processing needs as well as batch control.   With simple, yet powerful control algorithms neatly packaged into configurable function blocks and pre-built operator displays, monitoring and troubleshooting your process becomes easy for operators and maintenance personnel. 

These features contribute to faster engineering, increased uptime and lower life cycle costs, while fully empowering your plant staff.  Experion LS gets you to production faster and keeps you there.

  Experion HS is a powerful software platform that incorporates innovative applications for Human Machine Interface applications (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA). Built upon the proven technologies of the Experion platform, Experion HS is an integrated and affordable solution for smaller unit operations.

Experion HS extends Experion's proven technology to meet the demands of specific industry segments. Experion HS efficiently fulfills the requirements of small to medium size applications. It is an easy and intuitive solution that can be used by plant managers, plant maintenance engineers, process engineers and operators in many industries including oil & gas, mining, metals & minerals, chemicals, life sciences, power, cement & glass and food & beverages.

Features and Benefits

The infrastructure improves operator efficiency and productivity:

• Pre-built standard displays (including process group, point detail, trend, alarm and set point programmer displays) reduce configuration time.
• Intuitive and flexible HMI meet even the most demanding needs for process graphics, display navigation and alarm presentation.
• User-configurable pull-down menus and toolbars promote easier, intuitive navigation to process data.
• Enhanced trending for up to 32 pens simultaneously and event markers provide operators with a comprehensive view of the plant.
• On-board historian collects history and events, enabling instant access to reliable and accurate process data.
• Open architecture based on commonly used industry standards and the Microsoft Excel add-in provide greater choice in generating reports from process data.
• Integrated configuration environment enabling offline and online configuration changes minimize process disruption.
