Introduction The Process Manager (PM), Advanced Process Manager (APM) and High Performance Process Manager (HPM) are Honeywell’s leading TotalPlant Solution (TPS) system control and data acquisition devices for industrial process applications. They represent a powerful combination of cost-effective Honeywell controllers which can be applied to solve a broad range of industrial process control problems. The PM, APM, and HPM offer highly flexible I/O (input/output) functions for both data monitoring and control. One of the unique features of this family of controllers is its common set of Input/Output Processors (IOPs) and Field Termination Assemblies (FTAs). All IOPs and FTAs are usable by all three controllers (with only minor exceptions). This specification and technical data sheet provides information on PM, APM, and HPM IOPs and FTAs. Please refer to the following specification and technical data sheets for information about each controller: • PM03-400 - Process Manager Specification and Technical Data • AP03-500 - Advanced Process Manager Specification and Technical Data • HP03-500 - High Performance Process Manager Specification and Technical Data

I/O Simulation Option (APM/HPM only) The optional I/O Simulator package simulates the functions of the IOPs for the APM and HPM. It is a low cost, high fidelity simulation approach for control strategy checkout or for operator training support. A unique feature of this optional package is complete database transportability between the Simulation personality and the APM or HPM On-Process (normal operating) personality. This is especially useful for configuring the system before the physical I/O is available or connected. Features of the package include: • “Bumpless” pause/resume interruption/restart • Physical IOPs, FTAs and field wiring not required • Simulation status indicated and journaled • Database (checkpoint) transportable to target system • Simulation rerun from saved data base using PV data • Full peer-to-peer capability • I/O functions simulated by Communications processor • Almost any I/O configuration can be simulated • Simulation load and status supported on system network • Fault response testing and I/O redundancy simulation The benefits of this package include: • The ability to perform high fidelity simulation • Control strategy checkout • Operator training • Project cost savings
