9. LC’s Quick Scan ® Inventory Replacement objectives
Control and HMI are based on complex, custom C++ applications
Process control system runs on the office-network
One of the servers was 11 years old
It was unclear if the backup server is up-to-date
They were used to restart the server up to 5 times a day
The C++ application included safe guarding logics
No functional or technical knowledge about the system
The profibus interface is unreliable as instrument fieldbus
Replacement objectives
Reduce downtime and increase data integrity through higher reliability
Increase maintainability for hardware and software
Prepare for future by introduction of an expandable system
Keep initial costs down by phased replacement

10. Project Solution (Phase 1)
1335 IO based on 2 Profibus loops with
60 slaves each.

11. Project Solution (Phase 2)
87 IO based on 1 Profibus loop with 35 slaves
171 IO based on S8 C300 IO

12. Project Benefits Increased reliability Maintainability
The redundant server set increases data integrity
The eServer separates the control network from the office network and reduces station overload (by non-operational personnel)
Maintainability
Servers, stations and switched into a conditioned server room/cabinet
Engineering is based on S88 standard and use of control typicals
Future expansions
Experion LX is expandable with extra S8 C300 controllers
Honeywell’s ControlNet interface enables reliable expansion for remote IO
Initial costs
Replacement is divided in two phases; the success of the first phase increased commitment for second phase and expansion
Reduction of engineering costs for next phases

13. Lessons Learned / Recommendations
Honeywell Experion LX (S8 C300)
Knowledge is exchangeable but the control typically are not
Easier profibus configuration but different license calculation
Expansion/Migration strategy for Experion PKS C200 installed base !!!
Working with Honeywell TAC
Take account of project planning / mile stones
More status updates
Share lessons learned
Working with a distributor
Hardware design (selection tool)
Capacity (license calculation, CPU load)
Limitations on offered solution (e-server)
Information about engineering tools
