Introduction

Honeywell TDC 2000 and TDC 3000 systems have provided excellent control for many years. However, the agingcomponents of these systems are mostly obsolete and often unavailable to many users. Maintenance programs(such as SE&SP) are costly without necessarily satisfying your needs and these costs may outweigh benefits ofkeeping the legacy system. Struggling with basic system maintenance puts you in a weak position when

negotiating for system expansions or process optimization using advanced control applications both of whichrequire additional equipment and the advanced controls require interface development, as well. Bringing thelegacy system up to current software revision is expensive and usually requires hardware upgrades. Yet, comingcurrent does not necessarily provide compelling new capabilities that help you advance beyond your competitors.

Emerson offers excellent migration services and products to facilitate low risk, low maintenance systemimprovements that help you derive greater benefits from your existing TDC system and plan for a full transition tothe DeltaV system and PlantWeb at your own pace. Emerson personnel understand the TDC systems and workwith clients to determine the best options for your site, from total system replacements (in phased approaches) tostandalone DeltaV systems for new plant areas. These standalone DeltaV systems can integrate with other plantsystems more easily than can any other control system. This paper describes how to connect the DeltaV systemwith TDC systems and the benefits of each connectivity option. There might be a few paragraphs in this section.

ConnectingNot shown below is the revolutionary DeltaV Connect Solution for Honeywell Systems. This unique solutionmakes DeltaV Operator Stations the Human Machine Interface (HMI) for the Honeywell TDC controllers and I/O,and more information about this solution can be found here.

For basic interconnectivity, Honeywell and DeltaV systems can share data by several methods. Figure 1 showTDC 2000 connectivity options:

Figure 2 shows connectivity options for DeltaV systems with TDC 3000:

Figure 2DeltaV to TDC 3000 Connectivity Options

As shown above, Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) for Process Control (OPC) allows for data exchangebetween a DeltaV system and a Honeywell system. Various serial interfaces also allow for data exchangebetween the two systems. FlexConnect solutions provide hardware boards and/or cables that preserve devicewiring up through the Honeywell I/O terminations. The next few sections explore benefits of each method.

OPC for Data Exchange

OPC simplifies the task of sharing data between systems with different operating systems and data types. AnOPC server gets data from a source, such as a control system, puts the data into a standard format, and makes itavailable to be read by an OPC-compliant client. Normally, OPC servers provide data to clients only; however, theDeltaV OPC Mirror enables data sharing between OPC Servers.

The DeltaV OPC Mirror then can serve data from various sources up to an OPC client. For instance, one OPCclient can see data from TDC 3000 and DeltaV systems in one common format.

Benefits

OPC Mirror can link to all plant subsystems with OPC servers, in addition to the Honeywell control system.

Data historian or information management software can access multiple process control systems through onecommon interface protocol, OPC.

You can select applications by functionality, rather than by conformance to a proprietary communicationprotocol.


6/18


Allows operation of a limited number of Honeywell points from a DeltaV workstation and control a limitednumber of DeltaV points from a Honeywell console. Your Team Emerson Account Manager can show you avideo showing this interoperability.

You get seamless integration with Microsoft and other OLE compliant applications.

You realize reduced integration costsapplications already speak the same language; so developers spendno time creating interfaces.

Architecture

Figure 3 shows an example of OPC interface architecture and the software required.

Figure 3OPC Connectivity between DeltaV and Honeywell Systems

Serial Interface

Serial interfaces have been in use for many years. Typically, serial interfaces use a Modbus protocol and driversmust be written for the applications on both ends of the serial link. Special hardware for the serial type I/O is alsorequired.

Serial links between Honeywell TPS and DeltaV enable operator actions performed at one system to result incontrol actions in the other system. Honeywell TPS has three types of serial interfaces, first via the PLC gateway(also EPLCG), secondly, using IOP/FTA serial ports within the APM/HPM and third, connecting via the TDC 2000DHP (Data Hiway Port). For all of these, the DeltaV requirement is simply a serial I/O card with serialcommunications terminations and the appropriate (Modbus) protocol.

Benefits

Serial connectivity is a reliable and well known data exchange method that allows monitoring and operation ofHoneywell control data from a DeltaV workstation. Serial interface implementation allows data to be brought directly into a DeltaV controller. Thus, the points become DeltaV tags.

Performance

Per Honeywell technical specifications, an I/O subsystem, such as IOP/FTA for the APM/HPM has two serialports per IOP. Each serial port can support

Performance

Actually reducestraffic on the LCN (compared to an equivalent US/GUS); it does NOTincrease it.

Alarm annunciation is equivalent to a Honeywell station.

Small server supports up to 2,000 tags; large server supports up to 6,000 tags redundant or up to 10,000 tagsin simplex mode.

Multiple redundant servers may be attached for larger LCNs.

FlexConnect Solutions Save Device Wiring, Minimize Down Time

As the Honeywell controllers and I/O are replaced, if the associated field devices are not being replaced, theDeltaV controllers can connect directly to the Honeywell systems I/O terminations. This is done usingFlexConnect solutions, a special set of cables, interface panels and pass through cards that transform Honeywellfield wiring terminations into DeltaV terminations.

Benefits

The most compelling of FlexConnect benefits is the dramatic reduction in downtime which can be 75% ormoreversus rewiring. Another benefit is lower wiring costs; they drop by 50% when using FlexConnect versusrewiring. Table 2a shows wiring costs for a conventional switchover, based on 640 I/O channels.

During planning the installation and startup of the DeltaV system with an existing Honeywell system, theFlexConnect solution makes a phased implementation entirely feasible. Phased startups let you plan and execute

switchover of your most critical plant areas first, while keeping other areas running.

Architecture

FlexConnect adds cables and/or panels between Honeywell I/O and a DeltaV controller. Some solutions includespecial terminal strips designed for quick assembly and installation. The exact structure varies with the type ofsystem and the type of I/O. The DeltaV FlexConnect solutions for TDC 2000 and TDC 3000 are shown inFigure 5:

One method uses the removable termination strips on the field termination assembly (FTA). Compressionterminations can be physically removed from the Honeywell I/O card and inserted onto the FlexConnect panel.Another method uses the IOP cable connection, keeping the FTA in place.

The screw terminal type I/O can be seated on the FlexConnect board, in place of the compression terminations.With this type of connection, the raw field signal is brought directly into the DeltaV controller, which allows HARTpass through. The AMS Suite Device Manager capability in the DeltaV workstation is then accessible to thesedevices for monitoring and diagnostics. Table 5 shows the TDC 3000 Field Termination Assemblies for whichFlexConnect solutions have been developed. (Next page)

FOUNDATION Fieldbus for LEPIU

For the TDC 2000 Low Energy Process Interface Unit (LEPIU) remote multiplexer I/O, a simple and eleganttransition solution is to use the FOUNDATION fieldbus device Rosemount 848T. Each MUX has a capacity for up to16 inputs and up to 16 remote MUX boxes per LEPIU.


13/18


Benefits

This solution allows you to re-use existing shielded twisted pair wire as the FOUNDATION fieldbus home run cableto a DeltaV H1 card.

ArchitectureFigure 6 shows an example of the architecture for the multiplexer replacement with the Rosemount 848T:

Figure 6LEPIU Replacement Solution with Rosemount 848T to DeltaV H1 Card

An even newer solution is to replace the MUX box completely, and rewire directly to new wireless 848Ts.

Profibus DP for TDC 2000 and TDC 3000 Discrete

The TDC 2000 TCB50 and TCB60 and the TDC 3000 FTA discrete I/O can directly connect to Profibus DPmodules from either Microsmith or Phoenix Contact. The DeltaV Profibus card connects directly to the Microsmithor Phoenix Contact module, providing a complete path for this I/O to the DeltaV system.

Architecture

Figure 7 shows the architecture for TCB50 and TCB60 discrete to connect to a DeltaV Profibus DP card, using aPhoenix Contact module. Figure 8 shows the architecture for FTA discrete to connect to a DeltaV Profibus DPcard using Microsmith modules. (Next page)

Benefits

This solution allows you to bring large quantities of discrete through single cable connections into the DeltaV

system. You use standard DeltaV engineering tools for the Profibus DP I/O configuration.

Transition Services

Transferring the required I/O and regulatory configuration from a Honeywell system to a DeltaV system requirescareful oversight by engineers who understand both systems. Emerson has migration teams that:

Are focused exclusively on conversion services

Are experts who understand configuration in both DeltaV and TDC systems

Are familiar with common errors in conversions

Oversee use of tools

Provide new or enhanced design services

Control Database Conversion

Engineering database transfers are accomplished most efficiently by using a set of conversion tools. Automatedtools reduce manual errors and provide expedient entry of required I/O assignments. These are used to the extentpossible, based on the system. For instance, you get a TDC 2000 control database via a printer port capture; toget the TDC3000 control database, you export Exception Build files. Either database is then converted to aspreadsheet or Access database and then imported into the DeltaV Bulk Edit Tool.

DeltaV Connect Solution Database Conversion

Fully automated conversion services are included with the DeltaV Connect solution. This gives you an initialconfiguration on which you can expand your DeltaV network.


15/18


Display Conversion

TDC displays can be recreated for the original look and feel on the DeltaV Operate workstations. This speeds thelearning curve for your operators, but doesnt allow for newer graphic technologies, nor accommodates morerecent customer or industry graphic standards. TDC 2000 EOS displays are converted manually, as are TDC3000 GUS displays. However, TDC 3000 US display conversion utilities take these displays directly into the

format required for the DeltaV system. With any DeltaV project, US style faceplates can be implemented, againto help operators acclimate to the new DeltaV system. Figure 9 shows sample US style faceplate and detaildisplays on a DeltaV Operate station. These faceplates and detail displays are automatically used forDeltaVConnect Solution for Honeywell Systems.

Figure 9

US-style Faceplate and Detail Displays on DeltaV Graphics

Figure 10 shows GUS style faceplates on the DeltaV system, with standard DeltaV buttons for fast one-clickaccess to detail, process graphic, trend, engineering, history or alarm summary displays.

A user-configurable keyboard allows you to customize display navigation to suit your process needs andoperational philosophy. A sample operator keyboard is shown in Figure 11; you can reproduce the familiarUSlook keyboard if desired. Figure 12 shows how this keyboard might be installed with your consoles:
