Experion PKS CEE-based Controller Overview

The Experion PKS CEE-based Controller comprises 30 years of controller development and
technology. The solution combines robustness, flexibility and uniformity in a Control Execution
Environment (CEE) that is hosted on different platforms. Its open architecture allows integration with
existing Honeywell controllers, third party control systems and devices. This document describes in
detail the configuration, design and architecture of the different controllers.
The CEE is the foundation of the controller and provides a configured control execution environment.
It makes this control application execution deterministic, consistent and reliable. A single builder tool,
Control Builder, allows integrated application configuration. The Control Execution Environment
offers dedicated function blocks to cover all control requirements for continuous processes, batch
processes, discrete operations, and machine control applications. Experion PKS currently features two
CEE-based controllers, the C200 Process Controller and the Application Control Environment
(ACE). The system also supports a simulation environment, the C200 Simulation Environment (SIM-
C200), which provides complete system simulation on PCs without requiring dedicated controller
hardware or process connections.
The C200 Controller consists of a
chassis, ControlNet communication
module or the new FTE Bridge module,
the Control Processor module (CPM)
and, optionally, the Redundancy
Module. The ACE node is hosted on a
server-grade PC platform. The C200
controller is a compact and cost-
effective solution located close to the
process with direct IO connections. It
is ideal for integrated regulatory, fast
logic, sequential, and batch control
applications. The ACE node is ideally
suited for supervisory control solutions
and integration with third party control
systems.
With Experion PKS, the user configures the system instead of building it from the ground up. Most
industrial process control applications require a number of common elements, such as
communications protocols and control algorithms. Experion PKS includes such elements in its
standard operating framework, allowing the user to concentrate on the application, not the system.
Control functions are provided through a library of block types called Function Blocks (FBs).
Strategies are easily built and configured using a single state-of-the-art graphical engineering tool
called Control Builder. Once built, control strategies can be loaded and monitored using Control
Builder.
