Control Hardware Infrastructure

Basic Components

ATTENTION

The C300 – 20mS CEE has been introduced to support Turbine control solutions. It has a faster base period of 20 ms and supports two new Series C IO modules - Speed Protection Module (SPD) and Servo Valve Positioner (SVP) Module along with Series C IO modules.

The Experion platform offers a traditional chassis-based hardware infrastructure and a Series C form factor infrastructure featuring a unique vertical design for enhanced component mounting and wiring. Each infrastructure provides a common approach to Controller and I/O configurations, which can be integrated to support an economical evolution path. Common chassis, cabinets, power supplies and communication media are employed across the basic system. Typical control hardware components include:

C200 Control Processor Module (CPM) is the Control module within the C200 Process Controller in which Experion control strategies execute. It communicates with Input/Output (I/O) Modules and peer devices via the Integrated Control Protocol (ICP) backplane and the connected ControlNet network. Together with an ICP backplane and I/O devices, the CPM constitutes a controller. It may also be referred to as the C200 controller, since C200 identifies the current version of the CPM.

C200E Controller (C200E) is an enhanced C200 Controller with additional user memory and an enhanced function block set. The C200E Controller provides increased user memory from 4 MB to 16 MB. The C200E Controller supports the following supervisory networks.

FTE through the Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge ControlNet through the ControlNet Interface

C300 Process Controller (C300) is the Series C form factor controller that executes Experion control strategies. It communicates with Input/Output (I/O) Modules and peer devices through the FTE network and the connected C300 I/O link on its I/O termination assembly (IOTA). You can communicate with Chassis-Series A I/O, C200/C200E controller, and programmable logic controller (PLC) through the Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge module mounted in the respective chassis.

Safety Manager Controller is the SIL 3 safety controller that executes safety strategies independently from the process control layer. It communicates with

Manager controller. Safety manager is a fully redundant controller that seamlessly integrates in the Experion topology. Safety Manager Controllers can connect to each other through a dedicated network or through the FTE network. The "SafeNet"

connection is a SIL 4 certified safety protocol.

Process, Machinery and Drives (PMD) Controller is a controller unit that contains an integrated application execution environment, two independent fieldbus interfaces, an Upline interface, an FTE system interface.

I/O Modules (either local to a processor or as remote I/O), which provide the terminals and processing power to accept input signals from transmitters,

thermocouples, etc. and send output signals to valves, motors, etc. A variety of I/O modules are available for analog inputs/outputs and digital inputs/outputs. Experion also offers Serial Interface and Pulse Input Modules. The Series C I/O or Process Manager I/O can connect directly to the I/O links on the C300 controller.

Series C I/O is the family of Series C form factor I/O modules designed to operate with the C300 controller. The Series C I/O is optionally available as redundant.

With R410, the following Series C I/O modules are introduced.

Series C Pulse Input Module (SCPIM) Universal Input/Output (UIO) module

For more information about the new Series C I/O modules, refer to Series C I/O User's Guide.

ControlNet Interface Module(s) (CNI) links the C200/C200E controller with remote I/O module chassis (up to 8) via the I/O Network and/or other system controllers and plant networks via ControlNet.

Control Firewall 9-Port Switch controls Ethernet communications and provides FTE connections to the C300 controller domain. It rejects Ethernet messages that are not needed for control. If control communication starts to slow, it controls the flow of messages of lower importance.

Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) Supervisory Network Support is the default communications medium for the Series C form factor components. It can be optionally configured using a Fault Tolerant Ethernet Bridge module for the FTE Supervisory Network connection between the server and the C200/C200E Process Controller.

ETHERNET Supervisory Network Support can be optionally configured using 10baseT Ethernet for the Supervisory Network connection between the server and the C200/C200E Process Controller. An ICP chassis based Ethernet Module is used instead of the Uplink CNI Module.

Redundancy Module (RM) with a C200/C200E controller chassis provides automatic backup for the primary C200/C200E controller. It can also be used in

chassis containing Chassis I/O - Series A Fieldbus Interface Modules (CIOM-A FIM) to support redundant fieldbus operation.

PCIC - ControlNet Module is a PCI Bus Card that increases the available

ControlNet bandwidth usage from the Experion server. This module is installed in a slot in the server.

Profibus Gateway Module (PGM) is an interface module that can be used with C300 Controller to connect and communicate with the Profibus devices. The PGM is developed in the Series C form factor for use with the C300 Controller. The PGM module is an FTE resident module.

Extension Component

ATTENTION

Refer to the latest Experion Specification document for the Windows operating system specifications.

The Experion system offers a variety of additional components that let you adapt the system to ever expanding data gathering and control interfacing requirements. These extension components include:

Application Control Environment (ACE) turns a computer using a Windows Server operating system into a supervisory controller that mirrors the basic operations of a Control Processor Module (CPM). It provides the additional capability of

communicating with OPC servers through a Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) or redundant or non-redundant Ethernet network. You can also connect an ACE

supervisory controller directly to a supervisory ControlNet network to support peer-to-peer communications with a C200/C200E Process Controller.

Simulation Control Environment (SCE) turns a computer using a Windows operating system into an advanced simulation environment to support Honeywell's Shadow Plant simulator. The SCE is designed to emulate the same Control Execution Environment (CEE) functions found in the Control Processor Module (CPM) of the C200/C200E Process Controller or the Application Control Environment (ACE) supervisory controller to provide high fidelity simulation of control strategies. It requires the same system server and operator Station support as the other system controllers. The components are connected through the Fault Tolerant Ethernet (FTE) or Ethernet network.
