Yokogawa System Migration to Experion

Honeywell helps users save time and money while migrating to Experion and minimizes the impact of the transition with its Yokogawa Migration Kits. These kits help plants move forward, providing the ability to migrate to newer and more powerful platforms with the least amount of disruption. The hardware allows field wiring to remain in place untouched and connect to an Experion system. Migrations take from a few hours to a few days, instead of weeks as it does with rewiring. Eliminating the rewiring greatly reduces labor costs and the possibility for human error.

In addition, Honeywell offers a system assessment of each user’s specific requirements providing more control solution options to determine the most efficient migration strategy for Yokogawa systems.​

​The Yokogawa Migration Kit consists of cabling and intermediate panels that are used to retain the existing Yokogawa termination units. The Experion controller can not only be easily added at any time but users can also set the pace for the cutover from Yokogawa systems to Experion. The wiring migration solution kit makes it easy to bring the signals to Experion with minimal risk and disruption.

Many plants have HART devices connected to their Yokogawa analog input and output cards, with the HART signal being read by a handheld or a separate system. Using the migration kits and the Experion HART I/O, the HART signal can be read by the system without removing the wiring from the Yokogawa termination unit. 

​Migration solution from Yokogawa systems to Experion PKS equips users with the right data that could be turned into valuable information to make better, faster decisions, while also improving productivity. Honeywell further augments these benefits by offering a migration strategy based on user’s automation goals, audit of existing systems, control solutions and optimization of existing investments.
