Integrated Control for TPS/TDC and Experion PKS
EHPM Solutions represent the ongoing evolution of the TPS/TDC system by applying the advanced technology of Experion PKS. It avoids rip-and-replace upgrades, which can be more expensive and less secure than incremental, phased modernization techniques. At the center of the modernization approach is the on-process infrastructure upgrade and true on-process modernization of the industry’s most widely used and reliable controller, High Performance Process Manager (HPM).
EHPM Solutions program provides:
Extension of the lifespan of the TPS/TDC control environment by applying FTE technology
Modernization of the coax-based Universal Control Network (UCN) to FTE-based Enhanced Universal Control Network (EUCN)
Modernization of the HPM controllers to EHPM
Control function enhancements with control-level data exchange between EHPM and C300 controller
Improvement of TPS/TDC system performance through direct operation station access to the EHPM controllers
Safety function enhancements with data exchange between EHPM and Safety Manager across EUCN, and modernization of the Fail Safe Controller (FSC) functions to Safety Manager
Changeover of the coax connected Triconex systems to EUCN by use of the Triconex Communication Module Interface (TCMI).
