Description
The Honeywell Experion® HS is a powerful software platform that incorporates innovative applications for Human Machine Interface (HMI) and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA).
It comprises a subset of Experion PKS components specifically packaged to provide a targeted and robust system for small to medium automation projects.
What Is It?
Experion HS is a solution that allows operators to monitor and control the plant environment, using real-time data for displays, trends and loop faceplates. An onboard historian archives valuable plant data. It is easy and intuitive, and can be used by plant managers, plant maintenance engineers, process engineers and operators in many industries to improve efficiency and productivity.
The newest version of Experion HS supports Microsoft’s Windows 7 operating system and runs on inexpensive workstation-grade personal computers.
How Does It Work?
With out-of-the-box functionality, users simply configure the platform instead of building it from the ground up. Operations can begin soon after point and hardware configuration is complete, and it is highly scalable to meet changing system requirements.
Standard features include:
- Distributed system architecture (DSA) that allows HS systems to publish and subscribe data easily from other HS/PC/LX systems
- IEC 61850, OPC Alarm and event server, ODBC data exchange and various other capabilities that enhance connectivity and establish easier engineering with various third-party devices, making it an ideal historian and standalone SCADA system.
- Advanced system infrastructure with advanced alarm/event management subsystem, built-in system displays, configurable reports, extensive history collection and trending
- Open connectivity to simplify integration with business and information systems
- SCADA interfaces, providing support for many devices such as the HC900 process controller, Safety Manager and MasterLogic PLC as well as several third-party devices.
What Problems Does It Solve?
Experion HS enhances operator response and provides readily available information and data for operator effectiveness. It improves safety management of critical processes and equipment.
In addition, productivity tools enable faster and more accurate engineering with automatic documentation creation and improved online modifications and validation, resulting in better engineering and maintenance efficiency.
