Honeywell Experion PKS C300 Controller

Honeywell Experion PKS C300 Controller

Description

Honeywell‟s C300 controller provides powerful and robust control capabilities for the Experion® PKS platform. The C300 controller, with its deterministic and flexible Control Execution Environment, greatly improves engineering productivity, reduces maintenance costs and maximizes process uptime. Experion® PKS – The Knowledge to Make it Possible.

The Experion C300 controller forms the heart of the Experion control system and deterministically executes control strategies, batch operations, interfaces to various types of I/O and directly hosts custom programmable applications. All of this is achieved using Honeywell‟s field-proven Control Execution Environment (CEE) for superior control execution and scheduling. Control strategies are configured and loaded through the Control Builder application, which provides easy and intuitive access to the controller configuration options.

The “designed-vertical” C300 Controller provides a superior control execution and scheduling environment.

By design, the C300 controller hardware offers unique spacesaving installation and maintenance benefits, consistent with the innovative Series C form factor. The C300 controller is optionally fully redundant, requiring no additional configuration other than adding an identical second hardware module.

With the C300 and the CEE, you can:

• Easily implement complex control strategies using various types of I/O and bus interfaces
• Improve engineering productivity and maintenance using the rich function libraries provided in the intuitive user environment
• Maximize process uptime with its robust deterministic software environment and full redundancy
• Reduce production costs with flexible and efficient control strategies, on-process migration, and powerful hardware processing power
• Organize and load-level complex control strategies across multiple controllers using transparent peer-to-peer communication

Fast Execution

The C300 Controller supports a wide range of execution cycle times enabling applications requiring fast scan rates such as turbine control strategies and compressor anti-surge control to be performed in a single integrated control platform.

Easy Control Strategy Creation through Rich Function Libraries

The Control Execution Environment function blocks support:

• Continuous control
• Logic control
• Sequential control
• Model based control
• Batch control

Each function block provided contains a rich set of predefined features, such as alarm settings, different algorithm choices, and maintenance statistics, which are enabled by configuring its parameters. Function blocks are combined and interconnected through soft wiring in either Control Modules (CMs) or Sequential Control Modules (SCMs) to perform a specific control task, enabling efficient strategy engineering.

Embedded functionality guarantees consistent control strategy execution and delivers consistent alarming and operations behavior. This consistency reduces operator errors and saves implementation time by eliminating the need to create low-level basic functions.

The CEE fully supports the batch standard ISA S88.01 executing all 4 levels of the procedural model in the controller without any server dependency. Class based batch concepts are supported to reduce the project and lifecycle costs of batch applications. Integration with the rest of Experion provides a single platform for all aspects of batch execution.

One Seamless Environment through Easy Data Communication

Named parameters provide full secure access to all application information in the controller. This data can be used throughout the Experion system, whether for other control strategies, for display and operator HMI interaction, or for historization and reporting. Experion‟s global database means the engineer does not need to know where information resides. Instead, the engineer can just reference it, and the system intelligently manages the deterministic communication and delivery of that information.

Each parameter is also protected from accidental changes through security access levels. Communication is constantly optimized based on report-by-exception and publish-subscribe, making efficient use of communication bandwidth by accessing data only when needed and avoiding duplication.

Consistent and Predictive Behavior Makes Engineering and Maintenance Easier

The user can make changes to existing control strategies or add new ones without interrupting other control strategies executed by the controller. The user has full control over the function block execution order within the control strategy and the execution order of multiple control strategies. Control strategies can be easily moved between control environments by using the convenient drag-and-drop feature within Control Builder. They can even be switched between simulated control execution for strategy checkout and deployment in an on-line controller.

Automated System time functions

The C300 controller supports the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) as defined by the IEEE 1588 standard in addition to the standard NTP protocol. With direct connections to Level 2 network, PTP provides precise time synchronization across controllers irrespective of the system size. The controllers can synch to any PTP grandmaster time source and also provide display of the PTP statistics.

The C300 controller also supports automatic Daylight Saving Time (DST) adjustments without requiring any manual interventions. The controllers periodically adjust their time status, and any newly added controller is automatically configured to the correct time.

Uniform and Intuitive Detail Displays

The CEE supports detail and group display templates, which can be assigned per control strategy. The user can elect to use the standard displays provided for the most common functions, or create a custom display template. The user simply references the detail display name in the strategy configuration tab, and the operator will be able to interface with the loaded control strategy through the correct detail display. The group displays can also be used as faceplates in custom graphics.

Easy and Intuitive Engineering Environment

Control Builder is the control engineering and maintenance tool for the Control Execution Environment, and improves the control engineer‟s productivity by simplifying configuration with a graphical user interface and predefined function blocks ready for wiring into a specific control strategy. The control engineer can enable and change standard function block features without the need to build them from the ground up. The control strategy can be documented with embedded objects like text, documents or web-links.

The user can easily copy existing control strategies using a standard cut-and-paste feature. When large quantities of strategies must be created, optional features are available to increase the engineering productivity and improve maintenance over a longer term. These features include Template Support, Bulk Build and Bulk Edit.

Template Support is powerful when instances must be kept identical throughout the lifecycle of the installation. The user creates a control strategy as a template, predefining the exact layout and functionality. Each instance created from the template maintains a link to the template. If the template is modified, all instances will automatically inherent the same changes. To safeguard the update, the changes only take effect after the user has verified and loaded the modified control strategies to the controllers. This makes maintenance easy and guarantees consistency of the application.

Bulk Build is an option used to create or recreate a large amount of control strategies from, for example, an instrumentation database. Just reference the predefined typical control strategy and supply the unique parameters per instance, and the Bulk Build tool will populate the engineering database with all control strategies. Bulk Build also supports the use of templates, making the generation of template-defined instances fast and easy.

Bulk Edit is available for day-to-day engineering activities and maintenance tasks. It supports the modification of a large number of parameters through user defined parameter lists. The list can be generated using several standard tools like Microsoft Excel, Access or a text editor using a comma delimited file format. The user has a choice to make the changes off-line or on-line. Every change is validated against existing limits and access levels.

Online Monitoring Is Available to the Engineer and Operator

Once a control strategy is created and loaded to the controller, the engineer can monitor the strategy on-line. The same graphical interface will now show the blocks while executing with live updated values and color codes for discrete signals. This is helpful for verifying a control strategy or for troubleshooting a process problem. The control or maintenance engineer can directly modify parameters from the engineering environment without needing an operator interface.

The same view is also available to the operator through chart visualization, a Control Builder view imbedded into every detail display.

Automatic Loop Tuning Application Provides Efficient Controller Performance Optimization

The Experion system includes an advanced PID loop tuning package called OperTune. This powerful integrated capability provides automated, closed-loop tuning for all CEE-based controllers, accessible from the standard PID displays. OperTune provides an easy and intuitive interface with leading edge and highly robust loop tuning technology to all levels of Experion users.

Investment Protection

Honeywell is committed to protecting customer investments by supporting and integrating previous control products. Consistent with this philosophy, the Control Execution Environment, which holds the user application, is platform independent. This allows the user to make use of new more powerful hardware platforms when they become available, while retaining the specific user application.

In addition, the C300 controller integrates with existing Honeywell I/O families such as the Honeywell Process Manager I/O, a level of integration not possible with any other control system. C300 Controllers also seamlessly communicate with any other control node types on the network, such as C200 controllers, C200E controllers or ACE nodes, further protecting your investment in these nodes.
