Options to the System

Monitors, touchscreens or trackballs, and printers are options to all the Universal Stations

in all versions of systems. A touchscreen or trackball allows you to “point” to areas on the

graphic display and select operations to be performed. Without either of these options, you

must use directional keys (arrows) on the keyboards to navigate across the screen.

Up to four additional nodes, making a total of eight nodes, may be added to basic

Enhanced Micro TDC3000 Control System. Choose from the following:

1. NIM—REDUNDANT NETWORK INTERFACE MODULE Provides a second path to the

process controller in the event of an electrical failure.

2. US—UNIVERSAL STATION (4Mw and 6Mw) Provides a window to the process.

3. EPLCG—ENHANCED PROGRAMMABLE LOGIC CONTROLLER GATEWAY Provides a

path to one or more Programmable Logic Controllers.

4. PLNM—PLANT NETWORK MODULE Provides the hardware and software to link the

LCN to the VAX interfaces.

5. CG—COMPUTER GATEWAY Provides a path to a host computer.

6. NG—NETWORK GATEWAY Provides a path to an alternate network for an integrated

plant solution (single and dual cable).

Basic Enhanced Micro TDC3000 Systems

The Enhanced Micro TDC3000 Control System is furnished with one basic version. This

is the single US Micro TDC3000.

The base version consists of two 4-node towers, an operator’s keyboard, an engineer’s

keyboard, a color monitor and printer (ordered seperately), and the Advanced Process

Manager. Four nodes are contained within the two towers:

1. US—UNIVERSAL STATION A window to the process—allows all information

supplied from process-connected devices, instrumentation subsystems, and

computers to be seen and used. The color monitor, two keyboards, an optional

touchscreen or trackball, two cartridge disk drives, and the ASPI-41 printer are

integral parts of the Universal Station.

2. AM—APPLICATION MODULE Performs calculations and control strategies that are

not possible or practical using only process-connected devices. The Application

Module has 4 or 8 megawords of memory.

3. NIM—NETWORK INTERFACE MODULE Connects the Enhanced Micro TDC3000

Control System to a process controller, generally to a Advanced Process Manager.

4. HM—HISTORY MODULE Provides mass storage of software, system data, and

customer/user data.

The Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 models have the following characteristics and features:

• Only “version A” models (with 1 US node) are offered as the base system. The

old”version B” models (with 2 US nodes) are no longer offered as a base system (the

old”version B” models are equivalent to a “version A” model, plus an optional US

node).

• All nodes are equipped with K2LCN processors.

• The base models will include an Advanced Process Manager (APM) as standard

equipment.

• The minimum AM processor memory is 4 MW (the base system models are offered with

AM nodes in two memory sizes — either 4 MW or 8 MW).

• The US included with the base system has 6 MW processor memory and supports

‘Universal’ personality.

• The US node in the base system is equipped with dual 150 MB Bernoulli cartridge

‘multi-drives’. The new ‘multi-drives’ are compatible with 35 MB

• The HM included in the base system has a 875 MB hard drive and 3 MW processor

memory.

• The NIM included in the base system has 3 MW processor memory.

• The US monitor and printer are not included with the “R500-Ready” Enhanced Micro

TDC 3000 models. These two peripherals have their own model numbers and must be

ordered separately. The operator’s keyboard, however, is included with the base system

model.

• The Enhanced Micro TDC 3000 models will not support UXS or AXM. There are

currently no plans to provide UXS or AXM options with the system.

Enhance Your System

Experion has helped thousands of customers worldwide improve

productivity and profitability. Experion transforms process control

beyond traditional distributed control system (DCS) functionality

by unifying people with process variables, business requirements

and asset management. It is the only automation system that

focuses on plant personnel and making the most of their

knowledge.

In addition to protecting your automation investment, Honeywell

is committed to protecting your people, plant and the

environment. Experion’s high security network architecture,

integrated security features and open systems security services

help protect your systems from cyber attacks and invasions. We

help design the optimal network architecture to ensure safe

connections to your business LAN when required, helping you

optimize your entire supply chain.

TDC 2000. TDC 3000 and TPS customers can continue to

improve their systems by adding the Experion Server and Station

to the Local Control Network (LCN). The TPS points are

automatically discovered and become part of the unified Experion

database. This gives you the ability to unify your operations and

take advantage of many business productivity enhancements:

• Improve operator effectiveness and Abnormal Situation

Management® by adding the Experion Station

• Improve control by adding new advanced applications

• Expand your system by adding the C300 controller with

embedded Profit® Loop advanced control and connectivity to

multiple types of field networks

• Integrate process, security and building control to protect

employees, assets and the environment

• Capture best practice operational knowledge with Experion

Increase Operator Effectiveness

Experion enables innovative features that improve the

effectiveness of operators, such as intuitive alarm management,

analysis tools and flexible trending. In a multi-phase upgrade, the

first step is typically to upgrade the operator stations to take

advantage of these benefits.

Upgrading TDC 3000 stations to the LCN-connected Experion

Station offers a common Experion HMI connected to the existing

LCN, reducing training and maintenance by keeping existing

graphics, network, controllers and I/O in place. It provides direct

access to the LCN with read/write data access and integrated

alarm and events. Experion establishes logical console functions

across all stations so operators can see other Experion Stations.

With Experion’s ability to display the TDC 3000 Native Window,

GUS displays and Experion displays from one station, no graphic

translation is required. When the need arises, Experion provides

the opportunity to create new html-based graphics that can

strategically help improve control room safety and efficiency.

Experion supports building or incorporating translated graphics

that comply with the Abnormal Situation Management

Consortium’s guidelines for ergonomic displays.

​Honeywell protects your investment in existing technology by offering

an easy and low-risk upgrade path to the Experion® Process

Knowledge System (PKS) without having to replace your entire legacy

hardware and software system. With an enviable track record of

delivering innovative solutions that integrate and add value to existing

installations, we allow customers to upgrade at their own pace and

with minimum possible disruption.

Commitment to Lifecycle Support

Honeywell allows you to continue to benefit from your investment

in TDC 2000®, TDC 3000® and TPS while leveraging Experion

technology, allowing you to expand or transition your system

to meet changing or growing business needs at your own pace.

Honeywell provides several options for maximizing the return

from your automation investments:

• Support for existing systems

• Upgrade older system hardware while maintaining

unified system infrastructure and human machine interface

(HMI)

• Replace legacy systems in phases with upgrade services

and kits

• Enhance system level capabilities of older systems without

replacing controllers and process interface units 

The Enhanced Micro TDC3000 Control System is an extremely compact, yet fully

functional control system in the Honeywell TDC3000X family.  This control system

communicates to the process via the Honeywell Universal Control Network (UCN).

The process can be monitored and controlled by Program Manager or Advanced Prcess

Manager.
