Migration Planning

Success with modernization depends on developing a multi-year migration plan that can include support at every stage of the automation lifecycle.

Service programs can include Assurance 360. Solution Enhancement Support Program (SESP), Kits & Enhancements,

Hardware Refresh, and Lifecycle Management. For instance, Assurance 360 transforms how you manage and maintain systems.

Honeywell the Experion PKS systems. Honeywell provides agreed service levels rather than prescribed quantities of materials and labor.

Users prescribed quantities of materials and labor. Users take a strategic view to minimize the total cost of ownership,

guarantees performance, and utilizes the automation system to improve business results.

Honeywell offers flexible solutions you can live with and grow with when you develop a modernization plan tailored to your unique site requirements.

Without the need to “rip and replace” existing control systems, Honeywell modernization protects your intellectual property,

retains physical assets, and leverages the value of your technology investments.

Honeywell offers solutions to address each of these areas, encapsulated in TotalPlant Solution Modernization.

The introduction of Experion LCN is a key product to facilitate that modernization.

How Experion LCN Works

Expanding on the Enhanced TPS Node capabilities, the Experion LCN (ELCN) further enables continuous innovation for Honeywell customers.

Using our proven Experion Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) infrastructure, a new ELCN bridge connects Experion to Classic Coax LCN

Once this connection is established, the LCN coax connection can be removed one LCN node at a time.

Instead of a hardware connection for every Experion TPS node, only one redundant ELCN bridge pair is needed to enable virtualization.

With Honeywell’s commitment to continuous technology evolution, plants can take what

was once a legacy system and gradually, in a step-by-step fashion, move it forward to

become part of a new, modern system while at the same time protecting existing asset investments.

This strategy maintains safe and reliable controls while modernizing and

evolving with the most advanced technologies. It keeps established, reliable

systems running longer, extends uptime, and preserves investments in

hardware and network infrastructure.

Challenges

In an uncertain global economy, every manufacturer is under growing

pressure to reduce costs while improving performance.

Plants running the TotalPlant™ Solution (TPS) system need to avoid

obsolescence by employing modern technology. TPS introduced in 1998.

helped establish open plant automation with a host of advanced

applications. However, its users are now dealing with compliance issues

related to new safety regulations, as well as increasing system support challenges.

Introduction

Honeywell continues to enable customers to take advantage of state of the

art control system technology while protecting their intellectual property investment.

Honeywell’s on process incremental upgrade to Experion LCN modernizes

the control system infrastructure and enables the Industrial Internet of

Things (IIoT by Honeywell). Existing control strategy, field terminations,

applications, history and graphics can be retained allowing users to focus

on high value improvements.

This strategy maintains safe and reliable controls while modernizing and

evolving with the most advanced technologies. It keeps established, reliable

systems running longer, extends uptime, and preserves investments in

hardware and network infrastructure.

How Does It Work?

The UDC2800 delivers 0.15% accuracy and a market-leading scanning speed of 100ms to capture

trends quickly and enable users to achieve their targeted temperature profile.

It supports up to 64 setpoints segment and four PID sets, with RTD, TC, mV, mA, RH, carbon and oxygen inputs as standard, as well as two universal analogue inputs.

UDC2800 can meet the needs of even the most complex operations.

The controller is ASM2750F aerospace standard compliant as well as NEMA4X for food and beverage wash downs. 

The controller is a single solution upgrade from both UDC2500 and UDC3200 controllers with a single solution for simpler maintenance,

stock management and orders. It’s also entirely backwards compatible, retaining the same 1/4 DIN form factor,

terminal arrangement and back panel as previous models.

What Problems Does It Solve?

The UDC2800 is a single solution for efficient and accurate temperature control to meet regulatory requirements,

optimize performance, ensure product quality and minimize waste.

UDC2800 DIN Controller

The Universal Digital Controller (UDC) 2800 provides a cost-effective solution with enhanced display,

faster configuration, more accurate, and easy-to-use temperature control and heat treatment

What Is It?

The UDC 2800 is the next generation of panel-based temperature controller.

It’s more connected, more accurate, faster and more efficient, delivering improved performance and a lower cost of ownership.

With Bluetooth and remote connectivity, app-based configuration and a full-color TFT screen it’s an easy to use,

powerful solution for single loop control of furnaces, ovens, boilers, heaters, environmental chambers, cookers, dryers and freezers.
