HONEYWELL TDC 3000X Advanced Process Manager
Introduction
The Advanced Process Manager (APM) is Honeywell's premier TDC 3000ˣ data acquisition and control device for industrial process applications.
Like the Process Manager™ (PM), the Advanced Process Manager's new‑technology platform offers a range of capabilities that best meet today’s and tomorrow’s process requirements. The APM offers highly flexible I/O functions for both data monitoring and control. Powerful control functions, including regulatory, logic, and sequencing control are provided for continuous, batch, or hybrid applications.
An optimal toolbox of functions that can be configured and programmed meets the needs of data acquisition and advanced control requirements in a highly secure and performance‑intensive manner. Of course, APM’s capabilities include peer‑to‑peer communications and compatibility with industry‑standard communications protocols.
As seen in Figure 2, the Advanced Process Manager is a fully integrated member of the TDC 3000ˣ family. Accordingly, it is capable of:
Performing data acquisition and control functions, including regulatory, logic, and sequential control functions, as well as peer‑to‑peer communications with other Universal Control Network‑resident devices.
Providing bidirectional communications to Modbus™ and Allen‑Bradley compatible subsystems through a serial interface.
Fully communicating with operators and engineers at Universal Stations and Universal Work Stations. Procedures and displays are identical or similar to those used with other TDC 3000ˣ controllers. Plant personnel may already be familiar with them.
Supporting higher level control strategies available on the Local Control Network through the Application Module and host computers.
Advanced Features
As described above, the APM has the same functionality of the PM plus:
Digital Input Sequence of Events (DISOE) processing
Device Control Points
Array Points for CL Programs
Foreign device (serial) interface capability
Larger Memory (over four times larger than the PM)
String Variables
Time Variables
Universal Control Network
The communications channel for the Advanced Process Manager is a local area network called the Universal Control Network (UCN). Introduced to TDC 3000ˣ users in 1988, the UCN is the platform for process I/O connections to the TDC 3000ˣ.
