Honeywell has announced the
release of the next generation
of its most widely used
industrial process controller, the
High-Performance Process Manager
(HPM). The new controller,
Enhanced High-Performance Process
Manager (EHPM), allows 25 years of
distributed control system installed
base to seamlessly migrate to the
Experion® Process Knowledge
System. Cost of migration is
significantly reduced by preserving
control strategies and wiring.
Honeywell's EHPM solution
streamlines plant modernization by
significantly reducing risks
associated with a legacy system
upgrade and reducing plant
downtime, an official release by
Honeywell noted.
EHPM is the latest step in
Honeywell's commitment to
continuous evolution. In 2004, the
company introduced the Experion
Station for TPS, which allowed users
to capture new operational benefits
through improved process
visualization, better alarm
management, and the ability to
automate procedures. This evolution
continues with EHPM.
Honeywell's modernization
roadmap incorporates full flexibility
in lifecycle planning, including
long-term support of existing
equipment for life expectancy
extensions and upgrades for
plant performance improvements.
Honeywell's support and expertise
help industrial facilities protect
current investments and
extended system lifecycle, the
statement said.
