Honeywells TotalPlant Solution (TPS) system integrates TDC 3000 modules with powerful Windows-based Global User Station

(GUS) and Application Processing Platform

(APP) nodes that connect directly to the Local Control Network (LCN). The GUS provides graphic display capabilities in addition to all Universal Station displays. The APP
provides advanced supervisory control as well as a data interface for higher level applications.
The TPS system continues to provide large scale distributed control system (DCS) capabilities and offers customers the flexibility to integrate it into the latest Experion
systems.
Honeywell offers training courses that include best practices to implement, maintain, operate and optimize the TPS system.
TPN/TDC 3000 Controller
The TDC3000/TPN/TPS system architecture provides LCN (Local Control Network) for supervisory/HMI functions and UCN (Universal Control Network) for controllers interface.
The integrated Experion/TPS/TPN HMI environment and enhanced features of the new controllers provide opportunity for further improvement of the effectiveness of control
operations.

What Is It?
The TPN/TDC 3000 Controller upgrade possibilities consist of:

Technology Refresh Solutions - These are dedicated kits for upgrade of the older generation controllers to the latest generation of the controller family. The same apply for older versions of all
UCN and LCN devices which can be refreshed to their latest functional equivalents
Technology Upgrade Solutions - These are solutions for replacement of UCN/LCN devices with newer devices with additional functionality being part of the TPS/TPN or Experion product line
Intellectual Property (IP) Upgrade Solutions These focus on preserving IP during an upgrade
Software Upgrades These provide the possibility to utilize the latest software improvements and features and reduce risk for unexpected system downtime.

How Does It Work?

The Technology Refresh Solutions include:

Upgrade kits of the older xPM controllers to the latest xPM controller
PLCG to EPLCG; HM to SBHM
5 slot to dual node card file functional equivalents

The Technology Upgrade Solutions include:

LM to MasterLogic, FSC or SM upgrades

FSC to SM upgrade
Triconex to SM upgrade
xPM to C300 upgrade

IP Upgrade Solutions include

Wiring kits for controller upgrade retaining filed wiring

Database configuration conversion solutions
Logic conversion solutions
Sequence software conversion solutions
Safety applications conversion solutions

Software Upgrades include system software upgrade solutions.

What Problems Does It Solve?

The upgrade solutions allow plant operations to utilize the benefits of new technology for improved plant safety, profitability and reliability, while ensuring minimal disruption and maximum retention of the existing
investments and IP. In addition, users benefit from the flexibility of choosing the upgrade path that suits them most.

TDC 2000 Data Hiway

TDC2000 systems have been in operation for more than 25 years and will be supported by Honeywell in the future. However, ageing workforce and a greater demand for
energy savings, environmental protection and improved operational effectiveness require users to look closely at different solutions for technology refresh and upgrades.
What Is It?
The upgrade possibilities for TDC2000 Data Hiway include:
Technology Refresh Solutions - These are dedicated kits for replacement of legacy electronics with modernized ones with improved efficiency, lower power consumption and
environmentally friendly materials
Technology Upgrade Solutions - These are solutions for replacement of TDC2000 equipment with newer generation technology that provides improved performance, reduced
maintenance cost and new operational and functional capabilities
Intellectual Property upgrade solutions - These are solutions for effective transitioning of the existing control strategies, applications and Human-Machine Interface (HMI) to the
new technology equipment
The upgrade solutions can be divided into:
HMI Upgrades
Controller Upgrades
The aim of all upgrade solutions is to minimize process disruption and preserve existing field wiring while reducing system footprint, engineering and installation effort.
How Does It Work?
The technology refresh solutions include:
New generation of voltage regulatory cards
Universal electronics upgrade kits and parts
US to PCUS upgrade kits
LEPIU to ELEPIU upgrade.
The technology upgrade solutions include:
Wiring kits for controller upgrades retaining field wiring connections.
TDC2000 devices upgrades to HPM family controllers
TDC2000 devices upgrades to Experion family controllers
EOS/BOS upgrades to TPS/TPN HMI environment
TPS/TPN HMI environment upgrades to the integrated Experion/TPS HMI environment.
The Intellectual Property Upgrade Solutions include
Database conversion of TDC2000 system configuration (Control Language, Points) to TPN control environment
Database conversion of TDC2000 system configuration (Control Language, Points) to Experion control environment
HMI conversion to Experion/TPS HMI environment.
What Problems Does It Solve?
The upgrade solutions enable users to utilize the benefits of new technology for improved plant safety, profitability and reliability. In addition, they provide flexibility to users to
transition at their own pace with the options of incremental and full upgrade of their legacy equipment.
