2. Product Introduction

2.1. Enhanced Universal Control Network The Universal Control Network (UCN) is a time honored network provided by Honeywell for over 20 years. Even as other industries abandoned the IEEE 802.4 (Coax) Token bus network, Honeywell continues to serve the installed base using this technology. To address sustainability by enabling installed capital investments to be used for an extended period of time as well to facilitate plant expansions investments, Honeywell is making the next evolutionary step to modernize the UCN applying IEEE 802.3 Ethernet technology. This alternate network is named Enhanced Universal Control Network (EUCN). The heart of the EUCN is Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE). FTE is a robust control network using commercial Ethernet technology in a patented advanced networking solution. FTE provides multiple communication paths between nodes, enabling an FTE network to tolerate all single faults and many multiple faults. FTE provides not only fault tolerance but also the performance, determinism, and security required for TPN based control applications. EUCN represents changes on the network cable while the remaining system functions remain identical to the existing ones. Since those strategies are maintained along with all existing supervisory support there is no operator training required with EUCN. In addition EUCN will allow the same network tools used on existing FTE based Experion systems (Wireshark ® Protocol Analysers, SolarWinds® network management software, Experion maintenance Displays , ETools, etc.) to be used on EUCN based TPN systems. These highly refined tools help the customer diagnose network failures and but also monitor system loading for risk prevention resulting in improved system maintenance effectiveness. The EUCN provides the infrastructure for a future control level unification between TPN/TPS and Experion Process Knowledge System (EPKS) controllers applying FTE technology. The FTE based control level unification will provide possibility to

• Increase the effective life time of the control equipment with modernization • Improve your plant performance with incremental upgrades and expansion of the control with new

devices The Enhanced High Performance Process Manager (EHPM) is the controller which can be connected to the EUCN. The High-performance Process Manager (HPM) remains the controller which can be connected to the UCN. The EHPM has the functionality of HPM while allowing executing communication and data exchange across the FTE based control network. The Enhanced Network Interface Module (ENIM) is the gateway device between EUCN and the Local Control Network (LCN). The Network Interface Module (NIM) remains the gateway device between UCN and the LCN. The Enhanced Network Bridge (ENB) is a gateway device that allows communication from the Local Control Network (LCN) to both UCN and EUCN networks, and where UCN and EUCN connected devices share common logical identifiers and node numbering conventions. ENB is solely used for the purpose of incremental upgrades of coax-based UCN devices to FTE-based EUCN devices


2.2. Architecture Overview The functionality of the TPN/TPS system remains unchanged, allowing independent usage of two types of control networks

• Universal Control Network (UCN) based on IEEE 802.4 coax based technology • Enhanced Universal Control Network (EUCN) based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet applying FTE

The TPN/TPS system comprises several different integrated hardware and software solutions that support a wide range of application needs. Figure 1 represents a subset of the possible nodes and controllers

In order to take advantage of FTE, the older IEEE 802.4 interfaces on the Network Interface Module (NIM) and HPM were redesigned to connect to Ethernet (IEEE 802.3) based FTE. These redesigned interfaces along with the use of Ethernet cables are the basis of the EUCN (Figure 2).

For FTE connectivity:

• The EHPM has new Communications and Control Assembly and its associated EHPM FTE Interface Assembly • The ENIM has new EPNI2 Assembly and its associated EPNI2 I/O Assembly

Figure 2: Assemblies on ENIM and EHPM modified to use EUCN

Figure 2: Assemblies on ENIM and EHPM modified to use EUCN


Additionally, the introduction of ENB enables simultaneous use of the two physical control networks under one logical control network identifiers

• UCN based on IEEE 802.4 coax based technology • EUCN based on IEEE 802.3 Ethernet applying FTE

Physically ENB needs to be located at the bottom section of the dual node card file to make use of the 3-slot card position to host:

• EPNI2 board • EPNI board • K4LCN board

Figure 3: ENB Front view cards/slots positions

ENB makes use of assemblies at the bottom section at the rear of the dual node card for physical connection to the control networks:

• ENIM I/O PWA • NIM I/O PWA • LCN PWA

Figure 4: ENB Rear view cards/slots positions

A minimal EUCN network (see Figure 5) consists, at a minimum, of two nodes (the ENIM and EHPM) connected by FTE media (Copper/Fiber optic Ethernet cables attached to a Honeywell Control Firewall). This configuration can only be used for off-process installations such as engineering and training systems.

Process connected networks (see Figure 6) shall incorporate Level 2 FTE switches and other (typically redundant) ENIMs/ENBs and EHPMs. Depending on the “routed cable” communication distance, EUCN uses fiber optic cables and shielded copper cables to ensure reliable operation in high noise industrial environments. FTE network security is achieved through the use of Level 1 Honeywell Control Firewall and Level 2 Industrial Ethernet switch configurations.

System Software Integration In order to properly handle network error messages there were some changes to TPN software. New Maintenance displays were developed to aid in reliable network fault diagnosis. Thus there is a minimum release level of TPN/TPS software needed to use the EUCN nodes. That level of software is show in the table below.

Honeywell Software System Minimum Software Release Level

TPN /TPS • R684.2 (for ENIM/EHPM without EPKS integration) • R685.3 (for ENIM/EHPM with EPKS integration) • R686.4 (for ENB)

EPKS • R40x (without EPKS integration); • R43x (with EPKS integration applying ENIM only); • R432.1 (with EPKS integration applying ENB)

Functional Overview The EUCN provides a powerful communications platform for efficient, secure, real-time process communications. The EUCN is based on IEEE 802.3 and extended message services operating in up to at a 100 megabit/second rate using efficient message structures to support the high-speed communications requirements of a process network The EUCN provides the following features:

• Support of redundant devices for added security • Deterministic event/alarm distribution • TPS Network time synchronization to enable high resolution, digital input sequence of events recording • Extensive ENIM/ENB and EUCN communications and network diagnostics • The EUCN uses redundant FTE cables as standard, and can accommodate up to 32 redundant devices. • Devices can be added to, or removed from, the EUCN in a modular fashion to adjust to changing system

requirements. Besides full support of these special features, the EUCN also provides the applications layer necessary for a well-integrated, high integrity, real-time process communications network. For example, the EUCN supports orderly data access of all data acquisition, control, configuration, and status parameters for both peer-to-peer and higher level communications, extensive alarm and message handling routines, on-going devices and communications diagnostics monitoring, support of high-level control with assignable control modes, plus system and device configuration support. These communications management functions are provided as standard with the EUCN. The EUCN supports peer-to-peer communications. This means that EUCN devices on the same logical EUCN can write data to and read data from other EUCN devices for additional control strategy flexibility and coordination. Message Handling

There are several types of message frames that can be transmitted across EUCN. These include message frames that transfer commands, aid in diagnosis, transfer information, and control access to the network. A message can be directed in one of three ways:

• Point-to-point—a single destination device processes the message • Multicast—more than one destination device processes the message • Broadcast—all devices process the message

All devices connected to the EUCN follow well-defined techniques for message priority processing, request/response time-out processing, and communication retries. These techniques ensure that device operations are deterministic and communication is secure. Enhanced Network Interface Module

Information about the process and about the status and configuration of the EUCN devices is transferred through the ENIM from the EUCN to the TPS Network. Commands and configuration information for up to 8000 points, with up to 2000 parameters per second (K4LCN ENIM), are transferred through the ENIM from the TPS Network to the EUCN. For added flexibility, physical EUCNs can be divided into logical EUCNs by adding additional ENIMs. The additional ENIMs can be used to load level heavy loads that might exist on a single physical EUCN.


The ENIM provides the protocol conversion and buffering necessary to efficiently exchange information between the devices connected to the EUCN. The ENIM broadcasts the TPS Network time to all EUCN devices, thereby synchronizing the EUCN time with the TPS Network. This supports 5 ms digital input sequence of events reports from the EUCN connected devices ENIM Functions

• Provides for data access between the TPS Network and the EUCN connected devices • Converts data and protocol between the TPS Network and the EUCN • Channel EUCN events to the TPS Network for alarming • Synchronizes TPS Network and EUCN time • Enables peer-to-peer communications between the ENIM and other EUCN devices

Enhanced Network Bridge

Enhanced Network Bridge is a temporarily interface module utilizing Hybrid (E)UCN network that allows co-existence of coax-based and FTE-based devices on one logical UCN. The ENB enables step-wise upgrade UCN connected devices to EUCN while retaining peer-to-peer communication between these devices. At completion of the coax-based devices upgrade to EUCN, the ENB requires to be transitioned to the permanent network solution represented by ENIM. Information about the process and about the status and configuration of the devices under one logical UCN is transferred through the ENB from the UCN or EUCN devices to the TPS Network. Commands and configuration information for up to 8000 points, with up to 2000 parameters per second (K4LCN), are transferred through the ENB from the TPS Network to the EUCN. While the ENB makes use of one logical UCN network, the number of devices connected to UCN and EUCN controls network cannot exceed 30 nodes (60 nodes if redundant)

Like ENIM, ENB provides the protocol conversion and buffering necessary to efficiently exchange information between the devices connected to the EUCN. The ENB broadcasts the TPS Network time to all connected to ENB UCN and EUCN devices, thereby synchronizing the EUCN and UCN time with the TPS Network. This supports 5 ms digital input sequence of events reports from the UCN/EUCN connected devices

ENB Functions • Provides for data access between the TPS Network and the UCN/EUCN connected devices • Converts data and protocol between the TPS Network and the UCN/EUCN • Channel UCN/EUCN events to the TPS Network for alarming • Synchronizes TPS Network and EUCN time • Enables peer-to-peer communications on the Hybrid (E)UCN, including peer-to-peer communication between

the coax-based and FTE-based devices Reliability

The use of FTE CRC frame-check sequence verification on every received frame, and message-length checks by software ensures higher reliability than the UCN network. A second level of security is built into each network device in the form of diagnostic and statistical software that monitors and reports device and network conditions. These checks assure a high performance real-time network for process control applications. If multiple cable failures ever occur, the ENIM, EHPM and other EUCN connected devices communication software continuously tries to reestablish the node on the EUCN network. This is termed auto-reconnect. Auto-reconnect ensures that either the primary or secondary of a redundant pair will reestablish communication on the EUCN network when multiple cable faults are repaired. The secondary ENIM is kept up-to-date with relevant information from the primary ENIM so that the secondary can take over at any time. This occurs automatically and is transparent to the network itself; however, the operator is notified of any device switchover. Use of Fiber Optic Cable on EUCN

The EUCN provides for up to 2 kilometers of extension from the Level 2 switch using fiber optic cables. An option of the Level 2 Switch provides up to 8 fiber optic 100BASE-FX ports. The 100BASE-FX ports provide for connection of multimode fiber with LC connectors. This multimode cable can then be connected to the Control Firewall (CF9) with a Control Firewall multimode Fiber Module.
