Migration from Honeywell TDC / TPS to SIMATIC PCS 7    Modernization of Honeywell TDC / TPS systems by migration to PCS 7

Many installed process control systems have arrived at the end of their life cycle. Siemens provides migration strategies that bring your process control system up to the latest standards, while minimizing changeover times.

Upgrade with PCS 7 The challenge The application software of your existing process control system reflects the know-how invested in your plant. One challenge involved in a changeover to SIMATIC PCS 7 is to retain and secure this know-how. Another challenge is to implement and integrate the new functions of a modern process control solution that represents the latest state of the art. In order to meet these challenges and thus enable you to change over to SIMATIC PCS as simply and reliably as possible, we have developed an inexpensive migration concept that is very easy to implement.

Our solution

The failure frequency of modules belonging to Honeywell systems, most of which have been in use for many years, is increasing. However, in many cases, the supply of spare parts for Honeywell process control systems can no longer be ensured. Given that Honeywell system interfaces do not permit the link-up of modern field devices, many users today are asking for modernization solutions. We can supply all the necessary services from a single competent source for a smooth changeover from your Honeywell system to the highly modern process control system, SIMATIC PCS 7: Analysis of your specific system configuration Secure porting of your engineering data with the help of a migration tool specially developed for this purpose Supply and installation of the necessary PCS 7 hardware and software components. Existing cabling that you have invested in for the inputs and outputs can be retained on request Speedy commissioning with a focus on short changeover times, if possible during ongoing operations, through the use of experienced specialists Complete documentation of all the steps involved Due to the high degree of compatibility which is achieved, it is also a simple matter to replace only individual parts of the process control system (e.g. only AS, only OS) By upgrading to PCS7, you will also benefit from numerous new functional additions to the system. You can use these extra features to implement interesting process improvements with much less effort than before. Here, we will be happy to advise you as well.

Good reasons for Migration from Honeywell TDC / TPS to SIMATIC PCS 7

Increased productivity by reducing plant outage times due to greater availability of the new process control systems and fewer unscheduled plant shutdowns

Greater productive output by exploiting the potential generated by SIMATIC PCS 7 for optimizing your processes

Reduced costs for spare parts stocks and maintenance

Optimization of resources and enhancement of quality by improving the extent of information provided and by linking up to a Manufacturing Execution System (MES)

Space saved in the control and measuring room
